102:. This is because it does not fulfill the definition for a gay village. The description says gay villages contain gay restaurants, cafes, and other small businesses that attract LGBT individuals. I am an actual gay man that lives in the area and can confirm there aren't any gay restaurants, gay cafes, gay bookstores, gay clubs, organizations, etc in the area. Just because an area has a gay bar and hosts Pride once a year does not mean it is a "Gay Village." Also, look at the website used in the citation:

there's a few gay bars doesn't mean it's a gayborhood. I used this
Knowledge (XXG) page as evidence that no one cared to even include the East Village as a gay destination- because it simply isn't one. You will notice shortly after I posted the link to the page someone from Des Moines added it to spite me.

Hi
Valereee! I'm having some issues. Harryhay69 is still removing East Village of Des Moines, IA as a gay village even after proper citation, including one recent article that literally refers to the area as a 'gayborhood.' What more, or how much more, citation exactly is needed to keep this included
205:
Thank you. I never edited
Knowledge (XXG) before so this is all new to me. As someone that's been called the F slur many times in Des Moines, it's safe to say I don't feel like it's a "gay getaway." However, I understand that citations matter more than feelings. If no one adds appropriate citations I

The reason why this page ("List of Gay
Villages") is seeing more traffic is because I posted about it on Reddit. I was having a discussion there between other people that live in Des Moines on whether or not the East Village is considered a "Gayborhood" (or "Gay Village"). I argued that just because

Valereee! I'm having some issues. I did what you asked me to and added a discussion on the Talk page and waited a day before editing the page. My discussion was then archived/deleted and the East Village was added back onto the list. (If you check the Talk page's history you'll see someone with

I do not understand for the life of me why
Harryhay69 (a user profile named after a known supporter of pedophilia, by the way) is so aggressive about keeping the East Village of Des Moines off this list. It is an accurate and helpful thing to keep included on this page. Please help. Thank you!

Hey, H69. You seem to be removing content without explanation, and in topics that seem to indicate you may have a point of view? No objection to any other admin lifting this block once the editor is engaging in a way they believe means they'll be productive in future.

Ah, I wondered why there were suddenly so many IPs trying to add the East
Village all of a sudden. As a side note, don't edit the page or the talk page while logged out, as editing the same article or talk page as "two accounts" can get you blocked for sock puppetry.
295:
Hi- I see the other user added the East
Village back onto the list. Meanwhile their reference does not meet the criteria for a gay village nor does it label it as a gayborhood. The user also did not use the discussion page at all. What should be done?
364:
Hey, IP! Thank you for those sources; this discussion should be at the article talk. I'll move it there; it would help if you'd create an account, as I could have pinged you there instead of having to answer here and ask you to go there.

the IP Address 75.162.4.109 deleted my discussion and then proceeded to add their own.) Meanwhile, the citation they're using is STILL the same one that doesn't even say the East
Village is a "Gay Village." Any help? What do I do?

Okay, so right now I will start a new section on the talk page for a discussion. If no one replies to it/adds their support, I can then revert the change but mention I've started a discussion in the talk
