Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sexuality and gender

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sexuality and gender. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sexuality and gender|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sexuality and gender.

• LGBT rights in Zealand → LGBT rights in Denmark  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Zealand not mentioned in article. Rusalkii (talk) 03:06, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

This is the sort of redirect where one would assume there's some grand complex history that explains how the redirect for "LGBT Rights in Zealand" got redirected to a page about a different nation on the other side of the planet. Nnnnnope. It was just... created that way, and the target page at the time had zero mention of--

wait

this isn't New Zealand

Keep Oh OH OKAY THAT MAKES SENSE NOW. Zealand is the name of the large island that makes up about half of the country of Denmark. While it's not directly mentioned in the article itself, it does repeatedly reference Copenhagen, which... is on the island of Zealand.

While it does possibly generate WP:SURPRISE for anyone who decides to abbreviate New Zealand to simply Zealand (which is wrong but hey, until a few minutes ago I didn't know where 'old' Zealand was), a hatnote at the beginning of the current target article would suffice, such as:

This is about LGBT rights in Denmark, the country that incorporates the island of Zealand. For LGBT rights in New Zealand, see LGBT rights in New Zealand.

...which... huh. That's a red link. ...Could drive someone to make the article in question I suppose? Fixed link at 04:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC) 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 04:11, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

• Keep Redirects are cheap. Denmark is not a federal country, so there's no reason to assume that LGBT rights in Zealand differ from the rest of Denmark. I like Lunamann's suggestion for a hatnote. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
• Keep, and if we go for a hatnote, should we also consider Zeeland in the Netherlands (historically also spelled Zealand, and the namesake of New Zealand) as a possibility? Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 15:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

  Given it's only one letter off from "Zealand", and we're already adding a hatnote mention for something that's an entire word off ("New Zealand"), I would say that adding a For LGBT rights in Zeeland, see LGBT rights in the Netherlands. to the end of the hatnote, after "For {blank} see {blank}" for New Zealand, would be warranted.
