 * Delete Poorly sourced, indiscriminate list with rampant BLP issues. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 19:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - too indiscriminate of a list, and also per reasons similar to Articles for deletion/Critics of COVID-19 safety measures that have died from COVID-19, as this could be used as a POV fork. --MuZemike 21:46, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * What a weird article it was. Lembit Staan (talk) 22:46, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Article was poorly sourced, contained little text, and made zero sense.TH1980 (talk) 01:04, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:DELREASON: Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia, specifically because Wikipedia is not a place for non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations. At time of writing, the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases is in the hundreds of millions, representing a few percent of the global population. That a significant number of "politicians and public figures" would be included is not exactly astonishing, and trying to list them all is WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I am at a loss as to what the WP:LISTPURPOSE is supposed to be here. TompaDompa (talk) 11:53, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. As noted, hundreds of millions of people around the world have contracted and dealt with COVID-19, and there will likely be several million more to come before we're actually out of this mess — so the fact that some of those people were politicians is simply to be expected, and not in and of itself a topic of sufficient importance to justify maintaining a comprehensive and indiscriminate list of every politician who ever contracted a communicable disease.
