The clearest content fork you are ever likely to see c.f. gay. Please vote SPEEDY DELETE. - Wolfkeeper 20:24, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This was a discussed split from the article gay, that doesn't seem to have been properly completed. Hopefully someone from the discussion at Talk:Gay#New_proposal can explain what is going on. (I'll notify them now) -- Quiddity (talk) 21:24, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Until nominator provides links showing what this article is a fork of. RadManCF (talk) 21:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm.... already there; this is a completely unlinked and unloved clone of gay.- Wolfkeeper 22:16, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or merge any viable content. Bearian (talk) 01:08, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
delete. I noticed this duplication a while back and then promptly forgot about it. It seems to be linked to failed proposal some while back to split the original gay article. Paul B (talk) 03:51, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy - if possible. Redrafts are useful if they are looking at ways to improve the article but should never be in mainspace as cforks. --Jubilee♫clipman 04:21, 28 February 2010 (UTC) Snowball Delete - per ↑ and ↓ - also, clear duplicate, no point userfying --Jubilee♫clipman 03:31, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per A10. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 14:36, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - article was created in 2007 and is thus not eligible for Speedy under A10. Removed db tag --Jubilee♫clipman 02:49, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum - admittedly, the original article was a redirect; however, the new version was created 4 months ago: hardly recent --Jubilee♫clipman 02:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: ignoring the one vote that obviously hasn't read the nom, I'm calling for WP:SNOWBALL DELETE.- Wolfkeeper 03:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
