The above articles should be deleted. There are too many entries to correct or delete the erroneous claims. The sources for the claimed sexual orientation for these individuals is frequently inadequate in the extreme. Many cites are to a website http://www.glbtq.com which is a fatally flawed attempt to identify as many people in history as homosexual. When the lists are referencing this site, they list the most notoriously unreliable celebrity biographers such as Darwin Porter, Marc Eliot, David Bret, etc. These articles are nothing but gossip. I was under the impression that Wikipedia had higher standards than this. Please immediately delete these four articles. CPayton (talk) 19:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC) CPayton (talk) 00:51, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, then why not simply expunge the entries with the poor sources and salvage the rest of the article?Asarelah (talk) 17:39, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Identify

What is that supposed to mean "identify"? Use the words "I am bisexual" or "admit" to liking men and women? Who knows what the word means. This list used to make sense and serve a purpose. Now it is a horrible mess. Whose idea was it to make it risible? Scrap it now, it's become pointless. 62.64.214.168 (talk) 18:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Identify" is used to clarify the significant distinction that exists between "has said themselves that they identify as bisexual" and "is rumoured to be bisexual by the gossip mill". Without it, people keep adding names that don't belong on the list. Bearcat (talk) 22:06, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can see no value to this list. Many of the male names have openly identified as gay, not bisexual. Freddie Mercury had a heterosexual life but then came out as gay. The same is true of kenny everett. Simon Hughes is listed, but even his Wiki entry includes quotes which allude to him being gay. No mention of the word bisexual. Further, the list contains many names of porn actors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.90.61.225 (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:CS Banana.jpg

The image File:CS Banana.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Anne Frank?!?!

Seriously? That's sooo ridiculous. She was like 12.

Kurt Cobain

Come As You Are, the authorized story of Nirvana, published while Kurt Cobain was STILL ALIVE, states that he was misquoted by the Advocate. He stated that he "probably could be" bisexual, not that he was a practicing bisexual. Asarelah (talk) 01:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want I can dig out the book and find you the exact quote. Asarelah (talk) 03:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can produce a reliable source that these people self-identify as bisexual, then by all means put them in. Asarelah (talk) 19:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aleister Crowley

Why is Aleister Crowley listed as "occultist and hedonist"? I think "occultist, poet, author" would be better. Crowley was not particularly noted as a hedonist. 124.170.207.102 (talk) 05:35, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Greta Christina

I got a source for her self-identifying as bisexual. See here: ^[1] She is an American atheist blogger, speaker, and author, as her Wikipedia page says.

But I don't want to sign up with Wikipedia for an account. Can somebody add her to the list for me? Thanks so much.108.36.70.221 (talk) 18:42, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on List of bisexual people (A–F)

Cyberbot II has detected links on List of bisexual people (A–F) which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Hans Christian Anderson, Prince Andrew of Greece, Marlon Brando?

The Wikipedia articles for Hans Christian Anderson, Prince Andrew of Greece, Marlon Brando don't confirm bisexuality. There is some outright speculation caused by one quote for Hans and Marlon, nothing for Andrew.

Oh yeah, this is Wikipedia, not necessarily internally consistent. A person who is not internally consistent is lying, confused, mentally challenged, or schizophrenic.
