 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No demonstrated meeting of WP:NB. Qqqqqq 16:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Benjiboi's improvements made all the difference. Qqqqqq 16:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per nom. •Malinaccier•  T / C  16:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I agree it's not demonstrated, but the claim that it is "used in Queer Studies in Universities" seems to meet criteria 4 of WP:NB. Needs referencing though. FiggyBee 16:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Extremely weak keep. If references are provided to indicate that this book really is used in queer studies, then keep the article, if, at the end of five days, no such references are provided, delete.  Corvus cornix 18:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment refs added. Benjiboi 09:27, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Reviewed in several scholarly journals, including Women's Studies Quarterly, College Literature, Journal of Popular Culture, and GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies. (Unfortunately, I don't have links, but all these reviews are listed on Academic Search Premier.) In addition, I've found it listed on a number of syllabi. Zagalejo 22:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I've added the refs from Zagalejo's syllabus search to avoid duplicative work.


 * Keep per FiggyBee and Zagalejo. Benjiboi 07:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Another one that needs a lot of work (a lota lot), but it makes the grade, barely. Agree with FiggyBee and Zagalejo, just like Benjiboi. And I think Corvus cornix concerns have been addressed. — Becksguy 09:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Strong keep now. Benjiboi has added more than enough references to show notability. Good job! — Becksguy 02:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep I think it would need to be tidied up but i cant see why it needs to be deleted entirely(Pi 22:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC))
 * Keep per WP:HEY. Bearian 01:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
