List of BL dramas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly-defined list that uses the possibly made-up term "BL" to refer to male-male love scenes, loosely alluding to the proper Japanese term Yaoi though Japanese media is not included in the list. The article is confined to Thailand and one show from South Korea, and from a limited time period. The author claims that "BL" is different than matters covered at the existing List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 1970s–2000s but without verification. The limited entries in this list could probably be merged into List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2010s. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge to relevant articles per nom. Alternatively, I could see the list being retitled and repurposed to be "List of yaoi television series". signed,Rosguill talk 18:26, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2010s per nom. A separate List of Yaoi television series article could be created per 's suggestion but that'd probably be better done as a separate task to the merge so as to avoid a content fork.

 * Comment. "BL" is not a made-up term. The lead even mentions that it stands for Boys' Love, which means the same thing as yaoi, and redirects there. Yes, it is a far less commonly known term than "yaoi", but the acronym and term itself are even mentioned in the first few words of the article for yaoi.  Ss  112   03:53, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
