Gay stereotyping is hardly a valid article for wikipedia. It consists of only a few very vague sentences, which amount to not everyone who has "gay traits" (with no explanation or example of what gay traits are) is gay. Also wikipedia doesn't seem to have any articles for any other races such as Scottish, Norse, Irish, Frech, or Italian. ] 04:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC) Gay stereotyping is hardly a valid article for wikipedia.

Gay stereotyping is hardly a valid article for wikipedia. It consists of only a few very vague sentences, which amount to not everyone who has "gay traits" (with no explanation or example of what gay traits are) is gay. Also wikipedia doesn't seem to have any articles for any other races such as Scottish, Norse, Irish, Frech, or Italian. Chooserr 04:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • merge with Homophobia and delete. The article is a stub, and says it is part of homophobia. Would be better to put the info there. Jeffpw 13:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - at the moment it's an okay stub - but needs more sources. Though I was leaning towards merge as well, let's see what develops here - so long as there are highly reputable sources presented in the future. Smeelgova 13:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Keep the reason that there is only a few sentence is because I wanted to remove the crap content immediately but didn't have time to expand the article. It is probably going to be the next LGBT collaboration projects so why not wait and see what can be done with it. Koweja 15:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I was reading it and asked myself WTF? This is a dicdef - did someone delete all the content? Turns out yes, yes they did.

    • Comment. As Koweja explained, the content which was unsourced and POV was removed pending the article being rewritten from the ground up if it passes this AfD. The question here is whether there should be an article on Gay stereotyping (that is neutral, well referenced etc.) or not on Misplaced Pages. - WJBscribe  04:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Expansion on WJBscribe's comment You can see the page before I stubbed it here. I was attempting to clean it up a bit but then realized that by the time it became a decent article nothing of the original would remain, so I just trashed it. Koweja 04:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
