 * Keep Notable researchers, notable topic, not a non-encyclopedic cross categorization... I see no reason to delete this. However, if really desired it could be upmerged into Sickle-cell disease. Jclemens (talk) 02:15, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: Would supporting merging information into Sickle-cell disease where their sickle-cell research is sufficiently notable, though not as a list without explanation of their contributions. PriceDL (talk) 15:38, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment – This material seems to me like it would work better as part of Sickle-cell disease, in paragraph form (say, one or two sentences per person). XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. We are WP:NOTADIRECTORY and the list has an overly broad scope. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:05, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
