Reason FxJ (talk) 15:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC) Fake news, Russian trolls publish lying articles

Its all about ideological war. Stickers vs stickers - its all bout it.

Stickers affixed to people who do not support LGBT ideology and pro life. https://www.polskieradio.pl/5/1222/Artykul/2348023,Transfobiczny-smiec-Obrazliwe-naklejki-na-biurze-rzecznika-warszawskiego-PiS https://www.facebook.com/NarodowyPoznan/photos/a.1020901757983823/2965929860147660/?type=3

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2019 November 5. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 16:05, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
• Keep. The topic of the article has received significant coverage in numerous reliable sources, including CNN, NBC, Reuters, BBC, TIME, The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Washington Post. Because of this, it's quite clear that the subject of the article meets WP:GNG. Not a very active user (talk) 16:26, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

• Keep - Article topic is broadly discussed in international media. The 'fake news' claim doesn't seem relevant to notability; even if the LGBT-free zones are a hoax, the topic has still received significant coverage worldwide over an extended period of time. 38.142.216.106 (talk) 17:03, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
• Merge to LGBT rights in Poland. This topic is essentially a political ploy and propaganda from both sides is at its heart. The major reportable events are a 'rainbow Virgin' and 'anti-LGBT' stickers being distributed. In the scope of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RECENT, there is no need to give this development more prominence than it deserves. Elizium23 (talk) 13:36, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
• Keep - as per rationale already stated. --John B123 (talk) 18:01, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
• Merge as in above comment by Elizium23. It's a short-term phenomenon, mostly being repeated by the news, because it's touching the sensationalist/sensitive topic of LGBT, not because any actual restrictions were put in place. Nobody forced LGBT people to leave the supposed zones, or prevented letting them in. All municipal/governmental services work normally there like in other parts of the country. --Wanted (talk) 22:23, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
• Delete and merge any remaining relevant content to the LBGT rights in Poland. Wikipedia is not a news outlet.--Darwinek (talk) 01:14, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
• Merge: one-time event, important only as an mention in LGBT rights in Poland, as Elizium23 stated. A.J. (talk) 16:00, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
• Keep. Wide coverage in international media of legislation by regional governments (states), and stickers. On going coverage for several months. Note to closer: Canvassing to this AfD in extreme-right Polish media and social media.AstuteRed (talk) 05:38, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
