Seems of no value when we have List_of_lesbian,_gay,_bisexual,_and_transgender_sportspeople, list is also unwatched with uncited claims regarding living people. Off2riorob (talk) 13:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Agree (Merge/Redirect) - it is pretty much a list, which is sourced to articles rather than sources. Should copy the list to other article, and check that each has a source in keeping with WP:BLP. Mish (talk) 13:31, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The article noted by Off2riorob is superior, accomplishes the same goal but with better referencing. SPhilbrick  T  13:47, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge - however, I'm not sure to which direction. I think there is value by splitting the LGBT list into, well, L, G, B, and T. They could be different articles or subsections in the same article. --GRuban (talk) 13:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is an theme article and this one is a list: List_of_lesbian,_gay,_bisexual,_and_transgender_sportspeople —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.252.121.170 (talk) 13:56, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, this one might BECOME an article, but it currently is a list. David V Houston (talk) 14:28, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge, per above comments. David V Houston (talk) 14:28, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * so i gave article now sources and reffixes. One article is a topic theme and the other article is a list. That are different kind of articles. And i think lesbian sport should have its own article. So still keep. 92.252.121.170 (talk) 14:53, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

It seems that information has now been added which would, in my view, make this article encyclopedic. However, other than the entries on the pre-existing list, almost none of it is cited. I will, for now, refrain from voting, but if this information remains uncited in a few days, I feel that I will have to vote to delete. Kansan (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * the history of the article shows how over a long time some users killed the whole article. They deleted the text in still times and at the end they say, the article is still only a list. That's wrong. This article is a topic theme article over lesbian in sports. I repaired the old text and gave references and sources for lesbian athletes in article. 92.252.121.170 (talk) 15:10, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Outside of the list section, I only see one citation, but I see several "citation needed" type templates. One citation is not enough. Kansan (talk) 15:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Tentatively, I will vote delete for a lack of verifiability outside of the lists, though I reserve the right to change this later. Kansan (talk) 19:32, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete no reliable sources presented and it reads like a personal commentary. --Cameron Scott (talk) 18:34, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, random intersection of categories. Plus, the less people care about other people's sexuality the happier we will all be. Guy (Help!) 22:14, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment When this discussion started, article was basically a list . It now has some semblence of being an actual article (apparently from earlier versions deleted for lacking references and reading like an essay) but still lacks any references for the article part Nil Einne (talk) 09:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is better. Presently it is now a cited list with some uncited opinion type commentary. I looked at five names and they are already on the other list and I think a lot of the names are duplicated here and on the list List_of_lesbian,_gay,_bisexual,_and_transgender_sportspeople ?

 * Redirect This is simply a list with some decoration added to avoid having the word "List" in the title. However, there is no danger that I see of a deletion of the existing  List of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender sportspeople, which covers the same topic.  Mandsford (talk) 14:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Mandsford. Sorafune   +1  18:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - totally unsourced and already covered by a list. - Schrandit (talk) 16:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Guy, random intersection. Stifle (talk) 08:41, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
