[edit] GLBTQQIA

Neologism. 63 Google hits, of which the first is Wikipedia. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:19, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete neologism, little known, and nothing but a dicdef. It could be sent to wiktionary, if anyone thinks they'd want it, I doubt it's worth the bother though. --Xyzzyplugh 04:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Michael 07:09, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Move to Wiktionary I've actually seen this term before in my campus newspaper. When I first saw it I was like WTF? I could see people coming here trying to figure it out. VegaDark 09:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete Obscure abbreviation. User:Yy-bo 17:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to LGBT, which already discusses the many variant abbreviations. —Celithemis 00:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to LGBT. I despair of the endless variations on this that we're going to end up with, because we've already redirected a few dozen of these. The moment I saw it, in fact, I was planning to redirect on sight until I saw that there was an active AFD, so I'd like to just speedy-redirect it right now, if that's okay.

  Comment I'd normally wait 24 hours after you saw the AFD, but as this is a weekend, I'd wait until 24 hours after the weekend is over to give people extra time to comment. If noone has explained why it should be kept, then boldly redirect and close this discussion. GRBerry 01:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• (Speedy) Redirect to LGBT. And I agree with the despair of the endless (probably local?) variations. Maybe for possible interest people could indicate where they are used since they are not widespread? CyntWorkStuff 21:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • It's not generally tied to specific localities, as such; it has more to do with the fact that there's no standardized version of the longer variant (either in what it includes or in the order of the letters). There isn't even universal agreement as to whether the L or the G should come first in LGBT itself, let alone any of the extended variants. So you end up with a lot of different variations simply because everybody more or less uses their own version of it. Bearcat 23:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to LGBT. I got 435 Google hits [1]. Used for instance in the web site of The University of New Hampshire [2], and many more ".edu" web sites. --Edcolins 11:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
