Gay rights in Brazil
Delete or at least merge with something, this one-sentence vanity article adds nothing on its own. Complete self-serving trash. Courtney Akins 01:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep the article is a pretty poor stub at the moment, but should remain for expansion: there is plenty to be said on the subject, and Wiki has a series of "Gay Rights in " which is intended to be comprehensive. It's certainly not "vanity" as it doesn't promote any non-notable person or organization. It's just skimpy in its present form. DanB DanD 02:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Ok, but fair enough, lets merge into Human rights in Brazil for now then split the article off on its own once its hit "critical mass."Courtney Akins 02:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's self-contradictory. Delete and merge is illegal under the GFDL. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 02:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Courtney, you're the nominator, we already know you want to delete it. DanB DanD 02:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Also, I have to say that the "complete self-serving trash" comment strikes me as a tad inappropriate. I would urge the nominator to strike that and reword it to sound a bit more in keeping with wikiquette. — NMChico24 03:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete and merge Not sure what to merge into though. I guess the suggestion above makes sense. --Wafulz 02:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep being focussed on laws and constitutions, the article is neither trash nor vanity(!). Just as valid as Gay rights in Canada or Same-sex marriage in California. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 02:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Human rights in Brazil. Once the information because extensive, then recreate the article. User:Zscout370 02:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and Expand The article is a stub, but there are tons of stubs on Misplaced Pages. The only reason to delete a stub is if there's no possibility to expand the article, or if the article's subject obviously doesn't belong in the encyclopedia. I think just about anyone would argue that this subject can definitely be expanded, and a quick search will turn up many related articles for other countries.

- Keep and expand, part of a series, one man's trash is another man's article waiting to be expanded. Please explain "self-serving". Courtney's characterizations are disturbing, in that not only is it more than one sentence, has nothing at all about it that can be called vanity, and is well-sourced. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per NMChico24 and Zoe. This stub has clear possibility for expansion and is actually very well sourced in its own right right now. Merging it as a wait-and-see isn't the best way to approach this, as it involves shuffling content over and then shuffling it back when the (inevitable) expansion occurs, while removing valid categorisation in the meantime.

- Keep - stub is not a valid criterion for deletion, page is linked to by several other pages, has great potential for expansion, et al. WilyD 13:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep - obviously expandable, a topic of wide interest, seeing it belongs to Category:Gay rights by country. Historical information would be welcome, and a discussion of cultural attitudes in the various regions of Brazil also valuable, as well as what mood prevails in those municipalities where anti-gay discrimination is not banned by local statutes; but stubbiness is not a grounds for deletion. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
