The result was merge to Lesbian. Redirect and selectively merge, as described by XOR'easter. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:23, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gold star lesbian[edit]

As with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gold star gay, this is little more than a WP:DICDEF of a term, sourced primarily to examples of it being used as a phrase, rather than reliable source analysis about it as a thing to establish that it would merit a standalone article (the only two sources here that actually approach that latter standard are both blogs.) As I said in my vote in the other discussion, it is a thing some of my fellow queers say about themselves -- but it's not a noteworthy or WP:DEFINING characteristic of what they are, because nobody's really going around handing out real gold stars to anyone on this basis. This doesn't need its own standalone article -- what little there is to really say or reliably source about this could be entirely covered off by one or two sentences about it in lesbian itself, without needing its own standalone spinoff article.

Redirect and selectively merge to Lesbian, probably to § Sexuality and lesbian identity. One or two sentences (three at the outside) ought to do it. XOR'easter (talk) 21:44, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per XOReaster. My gut says that there's probably enough scholarly writing about the definition of lesbian and intra-community relations that an article could live at this address, but also that that content doesn't have to live there, and that the sources currently in the article don't support it. It can always be popped out again later. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:45, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
