No sources. I did some searching and came up only with this tiny mention in the Village Voice. I've removed part of the article because of a BLP problem. Chick Bowen 05:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Very weak keep: Two other sources found, one not necessarily a WP:RS, the other a tiny snippet in the New York Times. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 05:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The tiny snippet is actually about the website, which isn't discussed in the current version of the article, but yeah, that could count in conjunction with some more supporting material. Chick Bowen 09:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong delete no reliable sources, no demonstrated notability and doesn't come close to meeting WP:MUSIC criteria. It's a vanity page.Bali ultimate (talk) 23:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Restating a keep vote Sorry about voting "Keep" twice, I didn't realize the convention.
Having been involved in the Ball Culture & "vogueing" scene of NYC in the 90s and having watched the film Paris Is Burning, I don't think it would be fair to delete this page. The House of Diabolique is well known within that subculture, enough so that an off-Broadway play inspired by the House of Diabolique was written.
Wikipedia's own ball culture entry cites the House of Diabolique repeatedly (#14,a,b,c) Does it make sense to delete an entry for the House of Diabolique, when another article of Wikipedia,accepted to be authoritative, uses the House of Diabolique as a reference?
The House of Diabolique also served as a judge for the Club Systems Awards.
