List of fictional diseases

Poorly referenced, unclear inclusion criteria, largely in-universe fancruft. The references in the "further reading" section might support the creation of a Disease in fiction article, but this one should be deleted. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:16, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep but this article does need a tidy-up. Such a list might serve a purpose, but some of the information in the column headed "Symptoms" are not really symptoms but causes of the disease or descriptions of the illness. Vorbee (talk) 07:49, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The references provided in the further reading section seem to be excellent and confirm that the topic passes WP:LISTN. I spot-checked that the list has famous cases like the dreaded lurgi and the red death.  It does and so we're good. Andrew D. (talk) 10:48, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – A well maintained list that has been around since 2005 with edits and additions as recently as July 2018. Current references are adequate to show Notability. ShoesssS Talk 14:06, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - the list is fairly clear, and serves a legitimate encylopedic value. It would make more sense with "cause" or "vector" as a column to filter the symptoms issues, but that's a cleanup issue. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:49, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
