Egalitarian same-sex relationships in classical antiquity

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Another in a series of articles listing supposed same-sex relationships by a recently banned user. The article seems to have been abandoned back in August. The biggest problem in this case is that the category named in the title is ill-defined and unexplained. Never mind the referencing, which is a bit sketchy; it doesn't seem to me that the whole concept is notable. Mangoe (talk) 03:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's thin, it's sources are dubiously applied, and the author has been banned by arbcom for pushing a particularly odious POV that relates tangentally to the content of this article. On point, this is a list, and its criteria for inclusion are fuzzy at best. If there is an encyclopedic topic here, a point on which I have no opinion, then it would be better to start over with a clean and untainted slate. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:45, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete pov fork and coatrack created to further an agenda by an editor shown, time and again, to have distorted/lied about sources and the historical record. It's shocking the extent of the damage this nambla activist was able to do here, for years, unmolested by admins. Wikipedia had a real system failure with that editor (of course there are system failures every day, but in the case of these types -- still a bunch more here -- the urgency is great).Bali ultimate (talk) 15:44, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mangoe. I can't imagine anything belonging in this article that couldn't find a better home in Homosexuality in ancient Greece or Homosexuality in ancient Rome.  It's obvious that this article was created simply to be contrasted with Pederastic relationships in classical antiquity rather than on its own merits. Jd4v15 (talk) 08:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research. POV fork. Fails WP:N, WP:V. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 03:27, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
