List of television episodes with coming-out themes
A Unmanageable list that will grow to no end. The list doesn't fit into Wikipedia as it gives truly or useful, encyclopedic information.--M8v2 16:21, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * weak delete - A list that actually limited itself to episodes where characters came out of the closet would be a useful and interesting index, however, the article includes a lot of speculation and inferences about the meaning of allegories and other stories that aren't explicitly about a character coming out of the closet. The MASH episode isn't even about coming out, it's just a mention of "gender confusion" in one little scene.  If someone will clean this article up, I'd say keep, but it's worthless as it is.

 * Keep this theme is no so open-ended like "Love Songs" and we have no end of articles about nearly episode from long-forgotten (by most) tv shows; it provides a useful search and research vehicle for people using our encyclopedia to see how the theme is treated among various tv shows.

 * Keep Homosexuality in popular culture is encyclopaedic. Xdenizen 02:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ergh. Weak keep, but under a different name like List of television episodes dealing with LGBT issues, and give it some criteria for inclusion to avoid scope creep. Otherwise, bring it back here if that doesn't happen and we can excise it as unworkable. -- nae'blis 16:14, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete userfy on request if someone wants to set clear inclusion guidelines so that doesn't run afould of WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information. ~ trialsanderrors 07:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
