List of people with bipolar disorder

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Recently an IP posted a proposed deletion of the page. I've removed the proposed deletion and am opening up a formal deletion discussion, as I feel that at the very least this is the type of thing that should be discussed. Here is their post:

"See Articles for deletion/List of people with autism spectrum disorders as to why it should be deleted. There are no objective medical tests for bipolar disorder, and the article has a huge potential to cause major WP:BLP issues."

I feel like a formal discussion will lay any concerns at rest one way or another. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  18:26, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like this was discussed previously at Articles for deletion/List of people believed to have been affected by bipolar disorder, but was in 2005, before many policies came into play. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  18:30, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. Valid list article as many sources discuss famous people with bipolar disorder. This AfD is part of a series of driveby bad-faith deletion nominations by Special:Contributions/2606:5580:30C:7F9E:0:0:0:0/64. All of them should be kept. Binksternet (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * What about Articles for deletion/List of people with autism spectrum disorders? It seems to not be too much different. 2606:5580:30C:7F9E:D05B:81E5:63E3:29CD (talk) 19:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * My thought was that this could put rest to the concerns. I wasn't aware that he did this out of bad faith. Also, IP - please don't respond to every post. It's kind of heavy handed, as one post at the bottom of the page will do. This could be seen as harassment by these editors, as it's a bit much.

 * Okay, I understand. I got too carried away.  I will take your other suggestions into account. 2606:5580:30C:7F9E:D05B:81E5:63E3:29CD (talk) 20:30, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep provided that all entries on this list are well and properly sourced, I see no policy-based reason that this should be deleted. Natureium (talk) 19:19, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. Having reviewed most of the cited sources on this page and familiarised myself with the Wikipedia guidelines for biographies, dismissing this proposal is obvious to me.Unoc (talk) 19:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Should Articles for deletion/List of people with autism spectrum disorders be undeleted then? 2606:5580:30C:7F9E:D05B:81E5:63E3:29CD (talk) 19:59, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment Sorry for replying too many times to other editors.  However, for editors that think this page should be kept, should Articles for deletion/List of people with autism spectrum disorders also have been kept? 2606:5580:30C:7F9E:D05B:81E5:63E3:29CD (talk) 20:32, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete this seems like a BLP violation for the living people, and is likely speculation by recent historians about the dead. I see no need for this article and a strong BLP reason to delete this. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:37, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * By that reasoning nothing is needed.★Trekker (talk) 10:16, 8 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Strong keep This is something that should clearly exist. Anything that is speculation can simply be removed if that is an issue.★Trekker (talk) 10:16, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
