Context
editIn 2003 an extended debate occurred over how articles discussing offensive slogans should be named. The main point of contention was around the slogan "AIDS Kills Fags Dead", which variously existed as a redirect to the article now titled Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and as a standalone article. Redirects with variations on the title ("Slogan...", "Slogan: ...", "...slogan") attempting to distinguish discussing it from using it were created, while parallel discussion took place at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (slogans). Software solutions were discussed at meta:Redirects and searching.
Due to some editors' discomfort at participating in discussions under the title of the slogan, deletion discussions were moved to subpages of the nonexistent title "AKFD", which are now preserved here. They also include sections copied from the former Talk:Anti-gay slogan, which is now Talk:Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric/Archive 1.
