I'm resubmitting this list for FL consideration because I feel it deserves the promotion. I feel that the main reason it failed in its previous nomination was that it simply didn't get enough support, in spite of the fact that most of the issues raised by reviewers were addressed. I also feel that another reason it didn't pass was because of the stigma attached to hepatitis C. It's a short list because of this stigma; not many celebrities seem to want to admit publicly that they have the disease. Hepatitis C, in spite of its prevalence (Hep C patients outnumber HIV patients 5 to 1), is also difficult to diagnose; most people who have it don't know, so it goes unreported and thus, untreated. This kind of list goes far in alleviating this stigma, and encourages people to get tested, so it has great educational value. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 05:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Support - Well sourced list. Minor info I miss is the nationalities. But I see this also hasn't been added to List of poliomyelitis survivors. Garion96 (talk) 23:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Support - Hepatitis C is a disease that is quickly becoming a silent epidemic. It is astonishing how many people are unaware of how the virus is transmitted and what it can do to you. Outreach and education are so important to the Hepatitis C cause right now and I only wish there were more opportunities like these to make people aware. I completely support this list's nomination to be a featured list. Jessica, HepCBC www.hepcbc.ca —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.102.91 ( talk) 21:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Question why is this a "list of people" and not a "list of celebrities"? It seems almost disparaging to the common folks! Nergaal ( talk) 00:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC) reply
