• Keep - Per Andrew Davidson. Article itself is also well-sourced (286 in total). 47.208.20.130 (talk) 19:08, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
• Keep. As majority of the list entries have their own articles (and can safely assume as notable events) this passes WP:LISTN. Ajf773 (talk) 21:31, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
• Keep This list's criteria are clear and in keeping with NLIST. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:17, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep WP:NPASR  Like the first respondent says, there is no case to answer.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:20, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
• Keep - This is actually a useful list and better sourced than most of the articles I have seen written in a similar format.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:51, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
• Strong keep. The suffix is very widely known in the English-speaking world and is certainly notable enough for track-keeping. Most seperate articles don't mention the nickname, and non-articles about the seperate entries deserves recognition. Even if the article is still deleted (which it won't, clear consensus above), we need a category listing the same thing I'd say.Gaioa (talk) 15:12, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
• Keep: the topic is clearly notable. Independent, reliable sources show this, just the first page of a Google search shows that the phenomenon of naming scandals "-gate" is a practice notable enough for Wikipedia. This, this, this, this, this all cover the actual naming phenomenon in-depth and "-gate" scandals receive significant coverage in their own right, such as this, this and this. DrStrauss talk 09:36, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
• Keep Appropriate for stand-alone list per Ajf773 and DrStrauss. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 23:41, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
