List of genetic and rare diseases
238 kb of copy & paste from a cited source, mostly redlinks or redirects (since several of these are known by more than one name). Almost a speedy as a plain collection of links. Was originally at "list of rare diseases" but since the cited source form whihc it was originally copied was called genetic and rare diseases I moved it; some genetic disorders are not, after all, rarer than others. Was kept by default at Articles for deletion/List of rare diseases. Just zis Guy you know? 10:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I will call this to the attention of an editor who may know more about this list, but why is the AfD not noted on the article page? Sandy 12:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete It'd be an important list, a helping hand in work, but not like that. Some of the diseases are not rare, etc. Anyway we have a List of genetic disorders with nice tables, abc order. NCursework 13:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of genetic disorders. Sandy 14:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of genetic disorders. Or maybe House (tv) -- GWO
 * Keep and move back to List of rare diseases. As the source  states, this is not a list of genetic diseases, but a list of rare diseases.  (The words genetic and rare diseases do appear in the source, but they refer to the group providing the information, not the list.)  Therefore, it is not redundant with List of genetic disorders.

 * Keep this is at least as encyclopedic as lists of episodes of long-in-syndication tv shows, fictional characters in those episodes, fictional military units, and the rest. When does fiction become encyclopedic while fact is just "cruft" and gets deleted? Carlossuarez46 20:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - This article is encyclopedic. Mário 19:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
