Entirely unsourced list with fairly fuzzy inclusion criteria and possible WP:BLP ramifications. Kolbasz (talk) 13:52, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• The lack of sourcing and inclusion criteria is certainly problematic; given that this page has been around for four years without appreciable attention, the problem seems unlikely to be repaired. This seems a less-maintained duplication/variation of the related article list of vaccine topics. Maybe a redirect back to that page, with our without a merge?
  Honestly, though, it looks like even that page isn't really an article or encyclopedic list so much as an overgrown navbox or halfway attempt at a WP:PORTAL or weird pseudo-category page. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 15:00, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Vague inclusion criteria make the list meaningless. Presumably anyone who has been vaccinated (which includes the vast majority of the world's population) could plausibly be included in this list. jps (talk) 15:06, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Either side you're on, it feels like a bizarre form of an attack page where 'for/against' sides are laid out in a way that seems more appropriate for an RPG game than for an encyclopedia article. Nate • (chatter) 04:46, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per all above. If this were useful it would still be redundant with sensible categorisation - David Gerard (talk) 10:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The list of people who are pro-vaccination would essentially be a list of all articles on doctors, with a very tiny number of exceptions. The anti-vax lists are already covered in the anti-vax categories. This list is an example of false balance. Guy (Help!) 11:20, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Completely pointless list.Rathfelder (talk) 07:10, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
