Are there examples of this being used other than in reference to the Florida law? I have not seen use that would call for disambiguation. JamesG5 (talk) 04:24, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT NOTE, I intended to PROD this, I hit the AfD button by mistake & am not sure how to undo it. JamesG5 (talk) 04:26, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep At the very least, this should be a redirect. [1], [2], [3], [4]. MrsSnoozyTurtle 10:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but those links make my point, all the coverage is about the Florida law. No need for a disambig. JamesG5 (talk) 11:05, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Florida's law has received the most coverage, but evidence does exist of other "Don't Say Gay laws" being passed in other GOP states. Since the term could refer to BOTH Florida's law and other laws similar to Florida's law (which is documented in Anti-LGBT curriculum laws in the United States), I would keep it as a disambiguation unless or until "the Don't Say Gay bill" is THE name for Florida's law and Florida's law only.

Redirect as it was before. The page was changed from a redirect to a dab page the day before the nomination. SWinxy (talk) 21:40, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Should we include a disambiguation template at the head of the Parental Rights Act's article? That might be a solid middle ground. InvadingInvader (talk) 23:20, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Sounds a-OK. Something like "Don't Say Gay" redirects here. For similar anti-LGBT legislation in US education, see Anti-LGBT curriculum laws in the United States. I don't mince words. SWinxy (talk) 23:30, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Done. InvadingInvader (talk) 00:07, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Whoah woah woah. The discussion has not ended, and the page should be kept as-is. SWinxy (talk) 00:36, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  This is very normal during AfD discussions. Editors are always encouraged to improve articles during an ongoing AfD discussion (see WP:AFDFORMAT; WP:HEY for an interesting improvement that is sometimes mentioned during these discussions). – The Grid (talk) 13:51, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Florida Parental Rights in Education Act and add a hatnote at the article pointing to Anti-LGBT curriculum laws in the United States. The Florida law is the clear primary topic for the term both in terms of usage (obvious) and long-term significance (speculative, but no evidence to the contrary).

Redirect per Firefangledfeathers. Florida's legislation is the primary topic for this phrase (as a quick search shows), and any ambiguity can be resolved with the hatnote suggested above. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
