Catastrophic illness

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Doesn't seem to warrant its own article, per WP:NOTDICT. Perhaps it could be made into a disambiguation page with a brief description such as the one currently on the page, redirecting to various illnesses deemed "catastrophic", however.  Giftiger Wunsch    [TALK]  13:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * For the record, I think delete is more appropriate though; what could be classified as "catastrophic" illness is the subject of debate, essentially.  Giftiger Wunsch    [TALK]  13:32, 18 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep or Merge to Illness which would be improved by this referenced content. Not all illnesses are "catastrophic." There are numerous books and magazine or medical journal articles found at Google book search which have "catastrophic illness" as their subject: . If the section at Illness there becomes too long, then a separate article could probably be spun off. There is no policy or guideline reason it could not be a separate article now, but the short article at present could be a part of the main article. It is a topic of concern worldwide, as shown by a Taiwan article . Far more than a dicdef. Edison (talk) 15:27, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Does not seem to warrant an AFD as the process described at WP:BEFORE has yet to be exhausted. The topic is notable, being the subject of numerous books. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Many books have been written about this thing, covering it in detail.    D r e a m Focus  10:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
