List of gay and lesbian resource centres in Ireland

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Wikipedia is not a directory. This is a list of various gay-related organisations in Ireland, very few of the items have articles here, it was (before I converted the links) a mass of external links. No encyclopaedic value. I can't see any other equivalent lists. Beloved Freak  14:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge into List of LGBT community centers per SatyrTN. Categories can further dissect geographically until there is a strong reason for smaller country=specific lists. -- Banj e  b oi   11:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not really sure what should be merged here. Only two items have articles (not counting the radio & tv stations that are not specifically LGBT-related). One of them is a magazine - so not a resorce centre. So all there is really is Irish Queer Archive. Not really a list. The rest is just a magnet for people to add external links to non-notable organisations. List of LGBT community centers isn't much better and would be better (IMO) as an article called LGBT community center (or something similar), keeping the prose, but without the unnecessary list. List of LGBT-related organizations also exists, maybe both the above lists should be merged there. Just a thought. I'm not trying to have valuable info deleted, but I can't see the encyclopaedic value of long lists of red links (which probably always will be) and external links.-- Beloved Freak  12:20, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If formatted correctly those entries would be redlinks which can show where our coverage is lacking. FWIW, each entry should likely include if the city it's in is the largest or state capital also when it was established or anything else particularly unique. At some point someone who is very interested can look to starting an article. -- Banj e  b oi   07:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
