Delete This topic do not deserve for a encyclopedic article. This article documents the name of some notable people who died from tuberculosis. But such list is unencyclopedic. Firstly, tuberculosis is not a serious disease like AIDS, Anorexia nervosa etc. If we want to create lists of people died due to a particular disease, then numerous such trivial lists can be created, like List of malaria victims, List of fracture victims, List of gastroenterotitis victims, List of pancreatitis victims. list of colitis victims etc. etc. If we create such list after lists of all the diseases mentioned in medical science, then wikipedia will not become encyclopedia, but some "Do you know" or "Quiz" or "Believe it or not" type website. Secondly, as I have told above that tuberculosis is not a serious disease like AIDS (at least due to the advancement in medical science), hence list of tuberculosis victims cannot become an article. There may be articles like "List of AIDS victims" or "List of Bird Flu victims" because AIDS or Bird Flu are serious disease now, compared to tuberculosis. In wikipedia there are articles like List of deaths from anorexia nervosa, List of deaths by accidental drug overdose etc. because the cause of death is a serious issue in today's medical science and society. But tuberculosis or malaria etc. numerous diseases are not. Hence I am nominating this unencyclopedic article for deletion. Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 16:22, 1 January 2008 (UTC) reply
