The result was delete. - Mailer Diablo 11:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: This was originally in the Aug 7 list, and was the reason why all the other similar words later got put on the AfD list (see posting below). I moved it to the Aug 8 list along with the other similar words, so that they all get reviewed together. Benwing

Not notable; a recently-coined term on the series "The L Word" with questionable currency. Benwing 07:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as neologism. -- Koffieyahoo 08:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• BTW, there are some other questionable terms of a similar nature in the "LGBT term" category (Category:LGBT terms), e.g.:

1. Chapstick lesbian, a neologism from the Ellen Degeneres Show
2. Gaymer "an umbrella term used to refer to people who identify themselves as gay, bisexual, lesbian, or transgendered and have an active interest in the videogame community", seems to have no currency outside the gaming community and not much inside
3. Heteropatriarchy, a short stub with nothing more than the definition "a manifestation of patriarchy which constructs a system of gender stereotypes essential to maintaining patriarchal controls and which are the source of societal prejudices against non-heterosexual persons"
4. Queerspawn, "a term adopted by some people who have one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender parent"; most of this article is a "documented use of this word" section trying to justify its existence; no cited text references before year 2004, and only occasional since then
5. U-Haul (lesbian), "a relationship that becomes very close very fast, for example moving in together after only a short period of time -- a pattern stereotypically attributed to relationships between two women", apparently due to lesbian comedian Lea DeLaria.
6. Gaysexual, extremely short stub "a comic term used to describe homosexual or lesbian like behaviour"

I'm not at all against detailed coverage of gay/lesbian-related issues in Wikipedia but I'm concerned about Wikipedia being used as a sort of soapbox to try and make ephemeral terms gain wider currency. Benwing 09:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a non-notable neologism. The other terms may need to be put up on AfD, because they also look like neologisms. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 18:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• I put the other six on AfD; see the page for August 8. Benwing 08:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete them all, as per nom. wikipediatrix 14:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Merge what little is here with an article like Butch and femme. Scorpiondollprincess 16:54, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
