Singapore public gay parties (second nomination)

 * ''Relisting for deletion after no consensus at Articles for deletion/Singapore public gay parties.

Delete as unverifiable biased original research, and indiscriminate list. The article represents one contributor's viewpoint on the subject in question. If, somehow, the information can be verified, shown to be notable and trimmed of POV, I would support moving to Nation (party). But realistically, that article should probably be written from scratch. -- Krash (Talk) 15:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to Nation (party), for focus. --Vsion 15:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to Nation (party). "one of Asia's most popular gay and lesbian festivals"AFP. Notable enough for its own article, but needs cleaning. -- Dodo bird 17:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Move and clean up per above. Rob T Firefly 02:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless referenced and preferably cleaned up in the next few days. Might suggest rename per above afterwards if it survives and gets references, but that should be out of AfD process.  08:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Move per Vsion. Needs a lot of work, but it's salvageable. Fagstein 08:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is verifiable, notable and not indiscriminate. As the intro states, the Nation parties "are not merely commercial events held for LGBT recreation but also socio-political statements of significance in Singapore gay history and milestones in Singapore's human rights record.". The article is about the history of the development of the LGBT community in Singapore, through bars and parties. It is also about the repression of the Nation and Snowball circuit parties. Parties and bars (and now perhaps the internet) have generally been the mechanism for the development of LGBT communities throughout the world. The Nation parties are notable, having been mentioned in several national and international news oulets. The article is a useful and interesting information. No need for a second AFD in two weeks.
