Deletion of List of people with coronavirus disease 2019

Comment: no different than List of people with . We've got hundreds of thousands of people with this specific disease, this is pure trivia. So what if these people are notable. They aren't notable ''for having the disease''. Just like we don't have List of people with cancer, List of people with AIDS, etc... Complete -DEFINING/. &#32

Comment: As I said on the WP in french: Even on wikinews, the subject would probably be debated. Moreover, not all the people listed probably did not communicate officially about their health status, so the article is based on a certain press that is fond of this kind of information which, as said above, does not help to understand the phenomenon but is more of an unhealthy voyeurism patiently elaborated in a vast . Respect for privacy, human dignity, lack of hindsight, weak sources... Much more than enough to remove without delay

Comment: I echo many above with indiscriminate, noteverything, and notnews. I could see a list of notable people that died to the virus, but this is not that. Largely I see it as a list that has little to no encyclopedic value. From a data standpoint it does not really tell our reader anything about the virus, the people affected, or what happened as a result. It comes across as a list for the sake of a list, where  and  comes in. This is all big news now, listing the who's who of who caught it, but is it something that will be notable about that person in even a few months? I cannot think of a situation, assuming the survived it, that it would be the case which is where  is useful for situations like that

Comment: but tighten inclusion criteria so entries are required to be blue-linked and cite at least one high-quality secondary source. (i.e. no primary sources such as Twitter or Facebook and no low-quality, trivial news sources). I have read through the arguments for deletion and, disregarding frivolous or non-policy-based rationales, there seems to be two main reasons advanced. 1) The list publicises sensitive medical information of living subjects, violating . 2) The list violates, or will soon violate, , as an enormous number of notable people will be infected. These two legitimate issues can be solved by applying the proposed criteria

Comment: There are dozens of notable people diagnosed only in Spain already. In the next few days, that alone will be +100. Same with Italy and we'll see the same in many other countries.

Comment: With already 100k+ cases, this list is well on the way towards absurdity. What happens when there are ten million cases and a thousand entries on this list? Even now, I think this falls under  and being a serious BLP issue. If someone gets Coronavirus, why is that encyclopedically notable? We don't have a list of people who have gotten the flu, and the list of notable 1918 flu patients is a list of those ''who died'', and it's quite short at that. Not only that, but this list is becoming an indiscriminate collection of information. Plus the BLP side: if you had an article and coronavirus, would you want a paragraph talking about how you got the sniffles for a week and the media lost its fracking mind about it? Unless someone has died of it in a notable and confirmed way, I think we oughtn't even discuss it on any page. So use what rationale you want, but I think this page ought be removed per at least . Also to any closer, there are a lot of new, unregistered, and suspect accounts in this thread, please ensure that all votes are kosher. What a nasty business. Smooth sailing

Comment: In its current form this article is just a stat sheet with major  problems. If a person actually dies of coronavirus it can be noted in their article. If they are unwell for a couple of weeks with flu-like symptoms and then recover, it isn't a big deal. So far no really famous person has died from coronavirus, and no doubt when this happens there will be a great deal of coverage

Comment: Wikipedia is slowly losing its policy of  as seen in IIN section on the front page and other issues. In particular '''Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be.''' Some of these are notable people, and some are not. Regardless of which they are, this list is not an encyclopedic topic. The fact that they all got the sickness does not mean they should constitute an article in themselves. It trivializes the issue as people think of it purely in terms of particular people who have died from it

Comment: At the time of this posting, Wikipedia has articles on over https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Living_people 945,000 living people; this number gets much higher if you count foreign language Wikipedias. The coronavirus is a global pandemic that will infect a good portion of the people on this list; even if slightly more than 2% get infected this article will have 20,000 names on it. This is an |indiscriminate collection of information. I've seen editors compare this list to articles like List of HIV-positive people or List of people with type 1 diabetes. Even assuming these other articles are appropriate (which I do not necessarily believe to be true), they are different because they document people with life-long disabilities; the vast majority of people who get coronavirus will recover without issue. This article would be far more comparable to List of people who got the flu, List of people who got H1N1 or List of people who broke a bone. I also believe that generally privacy rights are an issue
