Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of convicts on the First Fleet
The nom states that this should be deleted for failing , , and . I do not see how this list fails any of them. The list is not indiscriminate (there is an end to it), it is not a repository of loosely associated items, it contains no statistics, no lyrics, no description of fictional works.  says that "Lists may include people who are notable for a single event or activity and therefore do not have their own article, if they are of particular importance in the context of this event or activity." which seems to provide an exception for the more general rule the nom noted. This list clearly needs cleanup, but I don't see how the encyclopedia will be improved by removing it. And if it helps, I've never even been to Australia
