214:", but after looking at the article I realized that would mean deleting the entire article. An article based on the section "Songs where the primary topic is homosexuality" would be worth keeping if it was sourced properly, but the only way to get there is to start over. The entire section "Songs where there is a strong indication the topic is homosexuality or can be interpreted as such" needs to be deleted even if this AfD doesn't end with a delete. 144:
original research. It's a haven for anonymous IP edits from people who probably do not understand how Knowledge works, as they keep adding their own uncited, originally researched personal ideas of songs that fit into this category, and as such is misleading. Jimbo Wales would not stand for a list

I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all
125: 140:. It's full of original research, much of it is subjective and littered with personal views. On top of that, it's listcruft, and the subsection "Songs where there is a strong indication the topic is homosexuality or can be interpreted as such" 150:"). If anyone can find any reliable sources for a reasonably sized list, I'd be quite happy to have this list stay, even if it probably does constitute listcruft. As such, it's a travesty and a textbook example of what Knowledge is 128:. The arguments by the deletion nominator for the first nomination were extremely weak, as I pointed out in the second AFD, which was much more valid. I carried out the second AFD nomination myself and the list was saved (as 132:) on a whim at the end by two 'keep' voters who have failed to do anything to improve the article since, and whose arguments were poor ("do we need citations to prove genre in television in 99% of instances?" = 407:
Definitely not. These things happen. I don't think anyone will mind if you delete your remark and everything that's followed as a result of it, however...including this. (I know I won't object...) Cheers,
121: 291:— in fact, no sources at all. Conceivably, a decent article could be written here, but this isn't it. Kill it and let someone else start over in accordance with policy if they want to try. 325:- keeping an article on the basis of "it can be sourced" necessitates that it eventually be sourced. This hasn't, so I tend to believe such arguments are fallacious in this case. -- 86: 81: 337:
I have nothing against LGBT people (the last girl I slept with was bisexual and I met her ex-girlfriend and she was nice), but I am pleased with the way that this AFD is going.-
