Fehufanga has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: These are not defining categories for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia isn't a log of people's medical conditions. See also the English Wikipedia's discussion. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 21:53, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

• Delete. People who survive cancer often die of cancer. The absence of a condition does not make a good category. In the case of a death, we have in most countries a certification system which is reliable. And they're dead. There's no end of people who walk around saying "I've survived X". We'd never be able to verify it. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:53, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
•  Delete This doesn't really belong in an encyclopedia.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 09:30, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
•  Delete Doesn't need own category. Would fit fine into the normal deaths in (YEAR) categories. Bobherry Talk My Changes 23:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
