Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Homosexual and related guidelines and policies

I know this is closed; I just want to mention for posterity—I don't see how the title is ungrammatical. Take a phrase like "Good and bad people". Does anyone have a problem with that? The substantive can be omitted for the first adjective, as it is meant to be the same as the one for the second. So imagine: "Good and bad guidelines". Then use a conjunction as the substantive instead (no harm done): "Good and bad policies and guidelines". Then use two different adjectives: "Homosexual and related guidelines and policies". Where in this construction of the title did ungrammaticality start? -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 03:06, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The "good and bad" example works because people, as well as policies, can be good or bad. But policies and guidelines cannot be "homosexual and related." The title also lends itself to being read as (homosexual) and (related guidelines and policies) which is fairly nonsensical. OSborn arfcontribs. 03:54, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * How is that a question of grammaticality? My neighbour cannot be immortal for example, but it's not ungrammatical for me to say, "my immortal neighbour".


 * But why can't policies and guidelines be homosexual and related, in any sense? See this definition of homosexual: "of, pertaining to, or exhibiting homosexuality" .  So, if the policies and guidelines all pertained to homosexuality and were related, then why couldn't they all be homosexual and related policies and guidelines?   -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 04:07, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Or for example, if someone offered to send me some "homosexual and related literature", I wouldn't think she speaking was ungrammatically, I would just think that the literature somehow pertained to homosexuality and related matters. But if the literature was a bunch of policies and guidelines, and offered in those terms I would just think that the policies and guidelines somehow pertained to homosexuality and related matters. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 04:21, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
