Overly narrowcasted list of mostly non-notable people. Each individual city on earth does not need a Wikipedia list of its own local LGBT rights activists as a separate topic from national or international lists, especially when nearly all of the names in the list are unlinked because they don't have Wikipedia articles to link to — and Sydney's activists are not some special notability case who would need special treatment that London's and New York's and San Francisco's and Toronto's activists aren't getting. And furthermore, most of the names listed here are not referenced at all, and even the ones that are referenced are mostly citing

• Comment. A list at the country level makes more sense than for individual cities in Australia, given how manageable the volume at Category:LGBT rights activists from Australia would seem. Developing that national list first and then splitting off into subsections if necessary seems the way to go. I would also not be surprised if an article could be justified for LGBT activism in Sydney, and examples of activists noted in the prose where justified, but attempting a list of nonnotable activists in Sydney still wouldn't necessarily make sense. postdlf (talk) 14:09, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete While it could be argued that there is a degree of notability as historically Sydney was the lead city in LGBT rights in Australia, this list fails to address
  WP:BLP issues with solid references for every individual named and does nothing to contribute to the story. Gnangarra 03:11, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Comment - although Postdlf is closer to a better understanding, strongly suggest this is salted into user space before what seems to be inevitable deletion, and developing into a different title, and format and would avoid the issues all mentioned in detail above...
