Talk:List of pneumonia victims

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Votes for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on May 19, 2005. The result of the discussion was keep (no consensus) and move to better title.

[edit] Rename

The name of this article is long and wordy. I suggest maybe moving it to a title such as:

List of pneumonia victims

or something of the sort; the current title is quite bad. If anyone has any comments or proposals, please let me know! Otherwise, I will make the move myself in like 5 days. Thanks. --Jared [T]/[+] 21:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Lists like this will never be complete, and that is why this one was removed from the Pneumonia article. However, some editors did not want to delete the list, so it still exists and was left as a "See also" link. Really, it is meaningless to even try to make a list of all the people (or even all the "famous" people) who have suffered such a common disease. In the USA alone there are about 4.8 million cases of pneumonia each year, and more than 60,000 deaths each year from pneumonia! [1] And how many of those people were "famous?"

Even with the "never complete" disclaimer, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen on wikipedia. 76.3.11.12 (talk) 04:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

You should check out List of jazz albums. I'll donate £50 to the charity of your choice if that list ever becomes complete up to 1950. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 09:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Goulishly jumping the gun on Heath Ledger's death

Is this just a game to see who's first at reportage? There has been speculation, but the results are still pending on the NY medical examiner's report regarding actual cause of death. The entry is unsubstantiated gossip, at this point, and not fact!
