Boi (gender)[edit]

Unreferenced, trivial, and deeply unencyclopedic. Stifle (talk) 20:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Misspelling becomes neologism becomes unfortunate Avril Lavigne song becomes unfortunate, unreferenced, unencyclopedic article. --S0uj1r0 21:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ as neologism, and noting the inappropriate title. It's not a documented gender. --Dennisthe2 21:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Vote changed to Keep per Otto's arguments (below), my mind is changed. Have a nice day. --Dennisthe2 00:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

delete. Yeah, per above, and I'll remove it from the template. If this discussion takes a drastic turn, someone can revert the template. -- Kevin ^(TALK)_(MUSIC) 22:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - one reference in the article already. Here's another, and I'm sure more can be found but at the moment I'm getting ready to go to dinner. Otto4711 00:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As for the title, Boi is currently a disambiguation page so there needs to be some additianl word or phrase in the title of this article. "Gender" seems like a reasonable choice since it does relate to gender identity and presentation. If someone has a better suggestion, please offer it. Otto4711 00:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a rename to Boi (gender identity)? --Dennisthe2 00:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I moved the disambig page to Boi (disambiguation) so if/when this article survives it can be moved to "Boi". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Otto4711 (talk • contribs) 13:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

As far as I'm concerned, that works. =^^= --Dennisthe2 20:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per User:Otto4711. Use as a gender identity pre-dates the Lavigne song. / edgarde 00:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Otto and Edgarde --Alynna 01:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - fairly widely used term - even though fairly new. Grutness...wha? 06:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Otto. Needs work and more refs though. Raystorm 11:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Kepp It needs more sources, but it has one. This will grow with time with some work. futurebird 21:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, is proper word now, even if it is kinda dumb. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as per Otto. Makgraf 07:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep needs work, but that's no reason to delete. Kolindigo 03:00, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Move to Boi. Continue to cleanup and add sources. But it's sourceable. —Carolfrog 06:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I reverted Kevin's change to the template. It would appear that the discussion took that drastic turn. —Carolfrog 06:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
