User:TerryE/CFS people

This is a rough cut of a data-mine of all people linking to or referring to CFS/ME in their bio pages.


 * Invitation to other users: Whilst this page is in my user space I welcome constructive input from other users either here or on this pages associated discussion page. I have place advisory guidelines at the head of each section for users making changes.

Content supports tagging as Living ME/CFS Sufferer
These are WP:BLPs where (in my opinion) the article includes a credible reference to the subject being an ME/CFS sufferer. If you feel that any individual here is wrongly categorised add a brief bullet on the talk page describing your reason. If you are certain that this will be non-controversial, then by all means remove the name from this list. If I have missed one add in the alphabetic slot and tag with an  -- added by ~  note. My presumption here is that the editors of the bio in question have followed WP policies in creating the article, so if it says that "X had to give up work in 1988 ... due to chronic fatigue syndrome" then I accept this statement.

Dead ME/CFS patients
These are bios of recently deceased people where (in my opinion) the article includes a credible reference to the subject being an ME/CFS sufferer. By recently deceased, I mean in the last 25 years or so, because before this any determination of CFS would be suspect. If you feel that any individual here is wrongly categorised add a brief bullet on the talk page describing your reason. If you are certain that this will be non-controversial, then by all means remove the name from this list. Same editing caveats as above.

No material refrence

Other tags
This is a mixed bag of associations. If you feel that I have clearly made an error here: please update, same rules as above.
 * Some have carried out research and published papers on CFS
 * Some are prominent advocates for CFS and some prominent critics
 * Some are mainstream doctors with a reputation for CFS care
 * Some are reasonalby reputable, though alternative, medical practitioners and are absolute fringe.

My current thinking, following the AIDS category model, is to create categorry for living, dead CFS sufferers, plus possibly other categories for advocate, critic, researchers and only include people in these last three category where there involvement is notable.
