As WP:OR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:01, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It also fails WP:V and WP:NPOV a large proportion of the Village mentioned in the article are unsourced further there is no official status ,statistics or on what basis it has  has been classified as a gay village hence clear original research.Even the given citations do not clearly verify test this has been raised since Sept 2008.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 12:55, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. Going by the logic of WP:OR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, all lists in Wikipedia should be deleted. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk)  12:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. With a lot of work, this article could be cleaned up and all items sourced.  Or it could be purged and only sourced items left behind.  However, Category:Gay villages combined with Gay Village fills the role of everything this article could ever hope to be.  I see some small value of having all the neighborhoods cited in one place with their sources instead of scattered 3 to 5 levels deep in Category:Gay villages, but not a huge amount of utility.

 * I tidied up the header description, which was cited as a problem in the earlier discussion.
 * Keep. This can be sourced or purged to include only those properly verifiable. This list is certainly not indiscriminate nor is it original research in its entirety. ~ RobTalk 19:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Move to "List of Gay Communities". Without any kind of official designation as such this title with that list is intensely WP:OR. Village is a legal term in parts of the US and UK. Almost all the hits for "gay village" on google are links to wikipedia, and articles about a specific place in Toronto that is literally called "Gay Village" --Savonneux (talk) 23:36, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
