There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Delete[edit]

  1. Page is hopelessly off mission, containing jargon that ventures into absurdity like "Achillean" or "Julietian" or "Trixian" and a bunch of acronyms referenced constantly that make the page difficult to even understand.

  2. Given how many links this has to some sort of LGBT wiki, wouldn't such an article be better off there?-Hastur! (talk) 20:20, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

  1. Personally i've found this one of the most complete glossaries of LGBT+ stuff and honestly appreciate having a good index on this for when these terms come up on the site in general nya ⏣sapient_cogbag⏣ [all-lowercase name pls] talk 17:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  2. It could need work, yes, but I think this would be a good resource to have in principle...-Flandres (talk) 18:13, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  3. Needs some work but is a good reference. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 18:27, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  4. Ref. goat, but beyond that, per cosmik and flandres. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 18:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  5. Seems generally useful at least in concept. Understand the distaste on reading teh whole text: don't think we should be promoting weird neologisms that probably have little currency outside of Tumblr (and probably not much there), but this is a matter of editing, not deletion.

  6. Social justice is missional, as it relates to authoritarianism. Oxyaena Harass 11:56, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
  7. Needs improvement but not deletion. We could use the transgender glossary for help.--HedvigsenSkreonk here 09:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
  8. I reveiwed it and didn't find any major flaws. Does not have ally, only straight ally. Many neologisms and acronyms are obscure. Odd inclusion of Yaoi and Yuri. I think it's sufficiently on mission, and complete if we ignore the missing trans stuff. Tulpa001 (talk) 08:27, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Hmm I think the wiki should cover some social justice aspects so I think this page overall might be able to be justified. I do support at least cutting the obscure jargon like the meat of "Emerging or neologistic orientation identities", " Acronyms", "LGBT slang and colloquialisms". --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 17:24, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Maybe move this page to a new Glossary namespace. The page is not quite missional, but these glossaries could work well to support our existing pages. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 18:27, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  • If this is kept, I fully intend to trim out the garbage then. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 17:27, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
