List of African American LGBT

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article should be deleted because it is WP:LISTCRUFT. This is because it satisfies definitions #6, #8, and #12. KAP03 (talk) 16:13, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has an appropriate parent at African-American LGBT community (which has some overlap) and is fully consistent with the relevant Wikipedia guideline at Stand-alone lists. WP:LISTCRUFT is one person's essay and is hardly a matter of policy let alone a valid excuse for deletion. Alansohn (talk) 16:51, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I understand the article was not placed in any categories and a bit messy. I placed the article in two categories and two portals and I cleaned the article up a bit, removing a lot of the fluff (the overlap). Hope that helps. If you search around Wikipedia there are many articles that provide a list of notable people, there an article that provides a Lists of African Americans, an article with a List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people, an even an article that provides a list of African-American Jews. Since there is an article about African-American LGBT community wouldn't a list of notable people be appropriate? As for references, well each person is linked to his or her personal article that lists their occupation, credentials and contains references for such.

 * Keep I do see that List of LGBT Jews has now been kept three times at Afd (the first as no consensus, the latter two as keep) and I don't see why that precedent wouldn't apply to this ethnic group. I would suggest a rename to "List of LGBT African Americans" per our naming structure but that's not a matter for here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

 * In regards to the location of the LGBT it is after the "African-American" because I wanted it to be consistent with this article that I consider to be its parent African-American LGBT community and the "LGBT" is in back. However, I decided to bring this idea up for discussion on the article's talk page Talk:List of African American LGBT so you and others could add their thoughts.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freethemindfull (talk • contribs) 04:01, 28 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. As consistent with other such lists. It's maintainable and not infinite. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:54, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
