"The 1999 play Banjee, written by playwright A.B. Lugo, presented at the Milagro Theater/Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center (and in another NYC venue in 2004), is "the story of Angel (played by Indio Meléndez), a straight homeboy, and Tony (played by Will Sierra), an admittedly bi banjee, who've known each other since childhood."

Banjee is used in the gay lifestyle but I noticed that there is a bit of self promotion. I have heard of the film Paris is Burning and the term Banjee was used but a play by the same name does not exist. I searched the internet broadway database and no such play exists. It's sounds as if it were an amateur production or a high school production somewhere. The actors in the production are not even listed as professional actors nor is the playwrite AB Lugo listed as a professional playwrite anywhere. It says that this play premiered at another NYC venue. Which one? I think this is a vandal who is self promoting and does not qualify as having nobility. Therefore, I nominate this entry to be deleted and the page should be adjusted. (Beetleguice (talk) 01:08, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

• Comment Malformed listing fixed; afd tag added to article. I am neutral. Tim Song (talk) 01:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
• Comment Article should be edited. Why the word Banjee? The bit about the 1999 play Banjee seems like self promotion. Ultimately violates wikipedias notability factor. Delete immediately. There shouldn't be any articles that include self promotion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Penumbraborealis (talk • contribs) 02:00, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
• CommentWhat's notable about a play at a community center that has no stars or real actors or by a published playright attached. I can't find anything about the show, play, nothing. This appears to be a hoax. Should be deleted and blocked. Overdarainbow (Overdarainbow (talk) 02:13, 28 November 2009 (UTC))
• CommentArticle should be edited not deleted entirely. The self promotion bit should be deleted. The playright and actors are not notable. Neither is the performance space. Seems like a one act produced as a showcase somewhere. Delete. Gorrillasindamist (Gorrillasindamist (talk) 02:30, 28 November 2009 (UTC))
• Comment Seems like there is a bit of a feud going on between users: 151.205.96.44, Ronald Backardy, Tainotalisman, Tainotalisman8, Benjiboi and 71.125.156.56. I suspect that there is sockpuppetry going on with 151.205.96.44, Ronald Backardy, Tainotalisman. Wikipedia shouldn't allow this nonsense to continue and all involved should be blocked indefinitely. I do agree that the play Banjee with its playright and actors are not notable enough to be included in wikipedias encyclopedia. I can see if this were a broadway or a union production but it seems as if no play exists other than for the purpose of self promotion. Delete at once and block all parties immediately involved in this nonsense. THE END!! (User:Donaldhennessey) (Donaldhennessey (talk) 02:54, 28 November 2009 (UTC))
• Comment Unfortunately, there is a feud going on, but it is not on my end. I have been cyberharassed by an Azayas4reel on Wikipedia. He has been banned under that name (as well as under two other sock puppets). I have not spoken to this man in months, but he continues to harass me and vandalize Wikipedia. For the record, the play Banjee was done off-off-Broadway (in 1999 and in 2004). It merited a review in the Village Voice (which is noted in the Wikipedia article). I did not put that information in the article. If one checks the history, it was done by someone else. I also suspect that Azayas4reel is also Penumbraborealis, Overdarainbow, Gorrillasindamist and Donaldhennessey [sic]. Since understanding Wikipedia's terms of use, I have been an editor who has not broken the rules. It is unfortunate that Mr. Zayas feels the need to continue this nonsense. I have not spoken to him at all and yet he continues on his end. I just want to harassment to cease and I have e-mailed several administrators to hopefully put an end to this mess.
