*Delete: I am trying to understand the rational for Hickey being notable. The first homosexuals to marry in NL do not have Wikipedia articles and they were also engaged in activism. Are we saying that Hickey is notable as a filmmaker?--NL19931993 (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Also Hickey was the head of a national organization but this does not automatically make someone notable. Also doing international travel to promote your organization does not automatically make you notable. Having a local non-profit in a small city, with no staff or major operations, also does not automatically make you notable.--NL19931993 (talk) 23:05, 5 January 2020 (UTC) banned sock

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Following my speedy close of the DRV at Deletion review/Log/2020 January 10 I am relisting this. Note that the nominator's opinion should be discounted, as they have been banned, but subsequent good faith !votes should be assessed as normal.
 * Keep per WP:SIGCOV as found by . Bearian (talk) 22:45, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per TJMSmith. Nomination seems to be based on WP:WHATABOUTX completely ignoring the GNG. Morbidthoughts (talk) 10:18, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, also nom should like get woke that use of “homosexuals” is generally demeaning and inappropriate except in clinical usage. Gleeanon409 (talk) 10:37, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. plethora of press.NotButtigieg (talk) 11:18, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
