Requested move 30 June 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved — Amakuru (talk) 09:16, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT rights in Australia → LGBTI rights in Australia – This article also discusses the rights of intersex people, so the article title should reflect this. Also, as noted in the article, LGBTI is increasingly used as the umbrella term in Australia. The current title should simply redirect. The state LGBT rights articles could similarly be retitled.

The parent article is at LGBT, we should probably follow that. Plus letters seem to be getting added a lot recently, our article says the current full acronym is "LGBTQIA+". Jenks24 (talk) 15:21, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Any evidence the proposed new title is the WP:COMMONNAME for this topic? SST flyer 10:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Proposed "LGBT in Australia" article

Hi everyone, the article has grown considerably and covers several issues that would seem more appropriate in an overarching "LGBT in Australia" article, such as the section on statistics. I propose we move relevant sections over to that article, which could have a similar scope to LGBT in New Zealand for example. What sections do people think would be appropriate to move across? Goldcactus (talk) 13:50, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be a good idea. No doubt the statistics and social conditions sections of this article more properly belong to your proposed article, and that could be coupled with some more information of things like demographics and LGBT-Australian culture. Beyond the two sections mentioned though, I think everything else in this article belongs here. Though detailed, there's no doubt they relate to the rights of LGBTI Australians, both in law and in practice. Global-Cityzen (talk) 10:08, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
