:{{la|Gay lisp}} <includeonly> — ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gay lisp|View AfD]])</includeonly>

This article should be deleted on the grounds of [[WP:OR]] and that it is offensive. - [[User:Gilliam|Gilliam]] 02:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Line 64 ⟶ 70:

*'''Keep''', '''Rename''' and '''Cleanup'''. I'd like to see the references cleaned up, but it appears that references to valid research confirming the presence of these speech patterns can be found, or, at least, that this is a valid area for scientific research, so this is not prima facie OR. It's clearly notable, as it documents a phenomenon widely referenced in broader culture. A redirect or merge to [[Gay stereotyping]] should be discouraged: as I understand it, stereotyping is about misperception and generalisation: this article, and the supporting research, do not seem to imply that this speech pattern is present in all gay men, or only in gay men, only that its presence is to some extent correlated with sexuality. As and when the stereotyping article is expanded, it may usefully refer to this article. [[User:WMMartin|WMMartin]] 18:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep, but only if cleaned up'''. If not, delete. This article is a mess. Lots of unsourced POV and conjecture going on there. [[User:ExRat|ExRat]] 02:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
