Talk:List of people with hepatitis C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion in the past. The result of the discussion was keep.

[edit] Possible additions

I checked the first 200 "What links here" entries at Hepatitis C. Following are the biographies that list diagnosis. I'm a little hesitant about some of these because they weren't all documentable and some of these people are living. We should probably delete the unverifiable diagnoses per WP:BIO and refactor this page, but I thought I'd put this up for discussion temporarily. Sourced names should be fine to add to the list.

1. Rio Reiser - WP bio states he probably died of Hepatitis C. I haven't been able to confirm this through a reliable source.
2. Luis Ocaña - same as Rio Reiser.
3. Egon von Fürstenberg - same as Rio Reiser.
4. Gene Weingarten - [1]
5. Herbert de Souza - Does this count as reliable? [2]
6. Mike Tetrault - Another borderline reference: his official website confirms the diagnosis by quoting the Wikipedia biography. [3]
7. Elizabeth Young - [4]
8. Neil Hawke - same as Rio Reiser.
9. Jeannine Parvati Baker - [5]
10. Lucy Saroyan - [6]

[edit] Christopher Lawford

You are missing Christopher Kennedy Lawford who speaks publicly and openly about having Hepatitis C, treating it, and *clearing* it. I don't know anyone that uses the word *cure* quite yet. The disease is still very *new* and sometimes the virus comes back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PeachStatePam (talk • contribs) 2007-02-23.

Thanks for that. I've added it. Colin°^Talk 09:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Possibly the newsman Frank Reynolds as well. You might want to check out http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=102891848 He is keeping a list too but I can't seem to keep two windows open to compare. Sorry. Keep up the good work though! This is an important list!  :-)
