Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people
for many reasons. Firstly, the second point under #Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information|What Wikipedia is not (the above basis for this deletion vote) states that "... there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous because they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic." Secondly, this article is not "hardly maintainable", and does, in fact, list information about when and where some people on the list came out publicly; if not, it encourages their biographic articles to do so. Thirdly, this article isn't "outing gay people"; it has been designed to ensure that a distinction is made between those confirmed as gay and those otherwise debated to be, with each section beginning with a proper explanation
