LGBT billionaires[edit]

I question the value of having a separate list of billionaires based on their sexual orientation. This might be more appropriate as a category in the Category:LGBT people by occupation category structure. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:44, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Do you also question the value of having a separate list of billionaires based on their race (See Black billionaires), their nationality (See List of Nigerian billionaires by net worth), their gender (See List of female billionaires), their class (See List of the richest royals)? All these factors, including orientation, have a prominent role in establishing wealth. Replacing it by a category of LGBT people by occupation would be pointless.

Keep - The list seems to meet WP:LISTN based on several sources [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and the individual entries are all notable. The sortable table in the article is especially informative.- Mr X 15:04, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1. I think you mean a list of billionaires.

2. Wikipedia must be filled with uselessness then (See Category: Lists of people by wealth). Moonsprite (talk) 15:15, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above - Well we already have one on race and nationality so to a point I think to be consistent we should have on on sexual orientation ... It sounds alot less stupid in my head! . –Davey2010^Talk 15:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Most of the stuff is useful, but a list of every living billioaire isn't, In My Opinion. AoorwHead (talk) 20:24, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's implicitly interesting. And an extremely valuable reference for those who work in philanthropy! ;-) 121.220.68.168 (talk) 08:26, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to reflect it being a list - Precedent only goes so far, and whether it's useful (or not) is irrelevant to AfD (see WP:USEFUL). What matters is that it's an appropriate and notable topic for a list as per the sources found by MrX. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:03, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename as list per above. That said, my primary rationale is that OTHERSTUFF exists, so if we have lists of foo billionaires of various sorts, this one is also acceptable. Montanabw ^(talk) 03:48, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
