[edit] Resurrection?

I'm wondering in what form the list would survive, and in what wikiproject. I miss it, and think it was valuable (albeit flawed) addition to the project. Since I'm an admin, I can go and look at the deleted list, but I'd rather it existed in a live form that could be improved, sourced and updated. Anyone have any thoughts on this? If there is some agreement on resurrecting it in a different form or place, I'd be happy to bring it back.-- Samuel Wantman 01:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

This page should be returned to its previous state, before Davodd split it into two articles (and the second one apparently disappeared and this one became a permanent stub). The article was fine as it was. Exploding Boy 16:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Time for cleanup, maybe? Joie de Vivre 20:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Call for Removal of Page

It's time to just delete this altogether. I don't see its relevance at all.

[edit] THIS PAGE SUCKS NOW

the list was amazing AND hilarious. now it just plain sucks. some effing polari person made it all polari. polari is relevant ONLY to britain and is contested amongst linguists. the real list of gay slang that was here NEEDS TO COME BACK. or this little queen will be VERY angry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.164.55 (talk) 05:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

The following was moved from the main article to here as it is original research:
