Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of brain tumor patients
with '''request for '''.  In additon to the the excellent reasons provided by Colin above, I affirm as the creator of this page that the original pre-wiki list (which contained only about 100 sourced listings) was actually sought out by a major brain tumor charity who contacted me with a request to use it for public relations, and that parts of that list - usually appearing in the same order I had assembled the name and mirroring the original descriptions - were reproduced in other sources.  There is a demonstrable need for this type of reference information, for the reasons Colin stated plus educational purposes: brain tumors have overtaken leukemia as the leading cause of childhood cancer deaths in the United States so parents and educators have a need to put a human face on the ailment.  This list provides a resource for innovative teaching methods for what must surely rank among the most difficult challenges they face.  The growth of this list since I started it and the high standards other Wikipedians have maintained are a testament to the wiki process
