 * Weak delete. Seems to fail WP:CORP. Also, the article is confusing in that Google hits suggest it's a bar while the article itself is written as though it's some kind of social group. It also doesn't help that most of the links are from either the official website or Facebook. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 01:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. B.Rossow talk contr 19:20, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I would recommend not deleting. This is a band of loosely connected social groups, not a business and it is helpful to have an entry explaining the concept and linking to the sites of the groups.  Just because some people don't understand/support the concept does not mean it should be deleted.

 * Comment - While I am sympathetic to the idea, I am not certain that the concept is notable. I've found a couple of sources, but I'd like to see a serious effort at fixing the sourcing problems. Bearian (talk) 00:10, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete i thought it was candy when i clicked it but it seems to be a bunch of jibberish and nonsense Original Research so i say Speedy Delete BigPadresDude 00:22, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Although an interesting enteprise, i just don't think this particular group is notable enough. The sourcing at the moment is certainly not good enough to show notability. Weak delete, as i only did a quick source search, so a more detirmined effort to find good secondary sources that non-trivially discuss this group would change my mind. I found a couple if local news articles, but they don't add up to this being notable yet. Yob  Mod  08:39, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete There may have been some original confusion from sources discussing gay guerilla organizations and some of these being gay bars. The strict term "Guerilla Gay Bar" is only referred to in circular sources (i.e. printouts of Wikipedia published by Icon Group International). All other sources included fail WP:RS in obvious ways.—Ash (talk) 13:37, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * weak delete I have participated in a few of these events. I think they will be notable in the future, but they don't seem to cross the notability threshold right now. The Wordsmith (formerly known as Firestorm)Communicate 15:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - with the exception of a couple of offline books (which appear to be sourcing minor explanatory points rather than being about the concept itself) reliable sourcing is lacking. Lots of blogs, one or two news-ish articles written by volunteers and without a clear metric of their reliability. Not enough yet for an article but warrants a mention in another article about direct action techniques in the queer community and in Gay bar. Otto4711 (talk) 19:57, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
