Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sexuality and gender. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sexuality and gender|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sexuality and gender. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

In addition to AfDs, this page also tracks Categories for discussion, Templates for deletion, Miscellany for deletion, and Deletion review, but these discussions are not automatically expanded here. You will have to follow the links from here to the discussion pages. Instructions for adding these discussions to this page are provided in the comments when you press "edit".

Does not meet notability. The only source is the group's website. Significant portions are unsourced. Thorough search to find print and online sources was unsuccessful. Rublamb (talk) 03:48, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sexuality and gender, Fraternities and sororities, and Georgia (U.S. state). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:18, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I deprodded this because its deletion without debate might be controversial. There are a few hits on Google news. I'll leave it up to you all to decide if that constitutes significant coverage. Bearian (talk) 05:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Those hits pre-date this group and are for another organization. Rublamb (talk) 05:20, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my WP:BEFORE all I found was either database entries and reviews on blogs (mainly wordpress). The same, seemingly, goes for the sources in the .de version of the article. I therefore don't believe that this meets WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 13:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: the 2 reviews on the German WP might be considered expert SPS. I will try to improve this. Worst case scenario: a redirect to Fred_Olen_Ray#Television(listed there) is a standard WP:ATD when the director is notable and the film released, with some notable features (Evan Stone, version of Tarzan, infamously "bad" film) -Mushy Yank. 19:58, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This fails WP:GNG. There are a lack of citations that would support the existence of this article besides a couple of reviews. desmay (talk) 14:58, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Belasco is one of the few openly black, gay erotic artists. Erotic artists are often neglected, compared to non-erotic artists. I think those characteristics are enough to deserve an entry in Wikipedia.

That being said, Belasco has also been published in Meatmen (comics), a very important gay anthology of its time. Another reason to keep this article.

If that helps, Belasco has a current and updated Patreon page at [2]https://www.patreon.com/BelascoArts Frpe01 (talk) 17:12, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I hope I'm allowed to post again on the same subject.

A few more sources about Belasco's work:

The site for The Advocate (magazine) has a page, https://www.advocate.com/art/2021/8/25/miguel-angel-reyes-sketches-sexiest-men-world#rebelltitem1, for a 2021 online gallery including examples of Belasco's work.

The Advocate (magazine) also presented a 2013 show that includes Belasco's work at https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/art/2013/07/11/galleries-sexyblack

The page on the aforementioned gallery's official site is at https://antebellumgallery.blogspot.com/2013/07/sexyblack-opens-july-12th-antebellum.html Frpe01 (talk) 20:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While mainstream coverage in online sources is not plentiful (a WP blind spot), the subject's notability in the context of gay black erotica is substantial. Jason A. Quest (talk) 18:06, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have found and added a review of one of his books in Xtra Magazine. I'll look for more reviews and articles.

Keep per snowball. There's a reason almost every single RuPaul's Drag Race contestant has an entry. That's because being cast on the show essentially guarantees notability per WP:ENTERTAINER; in addition to appearing on the series, participants are cast on the independently notable RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, appear on the notable series Whatcha Packin' and Hey Qween!, and participate in notable events and tours such as RuPaul's DragCon LA and Werq the World. Article improvement > article deletion. --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:17, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP.

She is quite literally still airing on the show, the article is obviously going to expand more until the show stops airing or she is eliminated. In addition, she is a well-rounded performer who has a lot more to offer than simply her run on a television show. There is no reason to delete this article.

The nomination stems from a person whose name is a wikipedia page with less content than the Arrietty page... so... maybe just maybe this stems from a negatively minded conservative and not a real care towards Wikipedia guidelines.

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Zanahary - here Zanahary if you care so much about GNG how about you go try to delete an article that actually does not meet GNG and has very little in-depth/non-trivial coverage. 2607:FA49:9C3E:4400:2DFB:DF3D:EA57:C17F (talk) 17:33, 26 February 2025 (UTC)— 2607:FA49:9C3E:4400:2DFB:DF3D:EA57:C17F (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

You got me. I'm a Malagasy sky deity jealous that my followers have dwindled to below the followers of this fabulous drag performer. I projected my consciousness into a field of clay to construct a golem that is now serving my divinity through Wikipedia.

Anyways, WP:CRYSTAL; WP:TOOSOON. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 17:38, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Since the show is still in competition, this nomination is a few days premature. Let's see what happens this weekend. Bearian (talk) 10:23, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We wait for notability, not for persistent appearance of lack of notability. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 13:03, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. As of Episode 9, he is in the top 7, so far. I'm still waiting for Episode 10, when more contestants shall be eliminated. Bearian (talk) 13:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The Seattle Times is the only decent source about this person. Rest are about everyone on the show, or the person responding to "nasty" things others have said. Probably TOOSOON, outside of the show, there doesn't seem to be notability. Oaktree b (talk) 13:47, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep and SNOW Close I'm sorry, Zanahary, but this crusade of selective deletion nominations just embodies everything to me that is wrong with the overly bureaucratic, nonsensical, anti-common sense enforcement of WP:GNG and WP:BIO which plagues Wikipedia. First of all, we have articles for virtually every RPDR performer stemming seventeen seasons. Why are we selectively deleting and merging articles belonging to two performers from a particular season, seemingly at random, even though they clearly meet WP:ENTERTAINER - by virtue of having appeared on both RuPaul's Drag Race and Untucked!? To override decades of status quo consensus, which has been that RPDR performers are notable, to selectively delete a handful of biographies with no rhyme or reason for why you are choosing Arrietty and Kori King (and not others, such as first place eliminations from the same season or less viewed seasons), is astounding to me. The Kori King merge should be undone and this AFD nom should be speedy closed under WP:SNOW. If we want to, as a community, decide that RPDR performers do not pass WP:BIO and WP:GNG, then we should make this decision in a logical manner (not an arbitrary one) via a broader discussion, in order to have consistency across the hundreds of RPDR-related articles which populate Wikipedia. Flip^and Flopped ツ 00:17, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t think you understand SNOW. We don’t have to come to a positive consensus about RPDR contestants not inherently meeting GNG, because there is no consensus that they do. The fact that many previous contestants meet GNG does not mean that appearing on RPDR implies GNG—and the deletion of Kori King, which followed the consensus of votes based on policy (not personal attacks against me), shows that RPDR performers don’t inherently meet ENT just because they appear on Drag Race and its companion shows. And seriously, “crusade” over three AfDs is ridiculous. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 00:41, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
