Speedy deletion is in error, Hardly promoting or using WP as Yellowpages[edit]

BAYSWAN is a highly visable sex-worker's rights advocacy group. Just because they help protect the rights of prostitutes and serve as an authority on sex-workers' rights doesn't mean they are any less deserving of inclusion in WP. Benjiboi 23:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Also, BAYSWAN is widely quoted throughout WP and academia. Benjiboi 00:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have added content, context, references and links. Not sure if it's enough but happy to do more research if required. Benjiboi 00:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This one might help? [1] -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 06:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I wasn't sure how to reference St. James Infirmary - another article to be done - and that solved that issue cleanly. Benjiboi 10:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion tag was wrong to begin with[edit]

If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion. I think that's pretty clear. Benjiboi 10:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too many external links[edit]

Okay, I've done most of what I'm gonna do. Good article here. However, there are waaaaaaay too many external links that are not directly related to this article. See WP:NOT#LINK: "There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia." The only ones that should be kept: BAYSWAN, Lusty Lady San Francisco, St. James Infirmary. And add one for the San Francisco Sex Workers Film and Arts Festival. Most of the other links are about sex trafficking/slavery; a See Also wikilinking to relevent articles on that would be better, & wouldn't violate WP:NOT#LINK. --Yksin 21:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update. I've removed the extraneous links to the articles on Trafficking in human beings and Sexual slavery, where they are more relevant. Up until now, Sexual slavery didn't have any external links -- & seems that people looking for such resources would be more likely to look for them at that article, rather than this one. --Yksin 21:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all your work! The article is so much better. I also appreciate the moving of links to where people would most likely find them with a corresponding match in the See Also section. Good job! Benjiboi 23:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
