[edit] List of gay activists

List with no clear inclusion criteria (are these gay rights activists or activists who happen to be gay?), probably mostly unverifiable, flamebait. Sandstein 06:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• comment this list could never be complete there are probably millions of people who fit this catagory. Tobyk777 06:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, state inclusion criteria, and verify periodically. — Adrian Lamo ·· 06:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is the sort of thing better done with a category, and we already have one, namely "Category:LGBT rights activists". dbtfz^talk 06:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Changing my opinion to rename per mikka. dbtfz^talk 06:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to List of LGBT rights activists (or restrict to it), as suggested. Criteria are pretty much clear: wikipedia article (a wikipedia standard for lists), which clearly states that the person is notably "gay rights activist", not just walks gay pride parades. As for category, we had this talk here, like, three thousand times: lists are not categories and they peacefully coexist.mikka (t) 06:36, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename per mikka. Chairman S. ^Talk 06:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename per Mikka Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 07:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Better to have a category.
• Rename and Rework I feel there needs to be some context as to why there people are included in the list. A one sentance summmary, something beyond being a pure list. joshbuddy^talk 08:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename agree with Mikka. -- Samir ∙ T C 10:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Rename per mikka. Eivind 19:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Move and rework. —-- That Guy, From That Show! ^(talk) 2006-03-10 04:43Z
• Move and fix as mikka suggests. ProhibitOnions 23:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
