This has been crosslinked from
this deletion review. Depending on the outcome of that discussion, it's possible that a thoughtful sysop might be able to extrapolate enough to close this early.—

Delete. Per
WP:BLP, it seems sketchy to call out particular living people for having a disease. I agree with Lightburst, this seems like a thinly veiled attempt to preserve some content from the deleted page

It's not, though. Independently created by an established but still relatively new user who's clearly in good faith. I can see why people make these, I just don't agree with them.—

In that case, I admit I was wrong about this being a content fork. However, I feel this is still against BLP.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule applies to "health care clearinghouses, employer-sponsored health plans, health insurers, and medical service providers that engage in certain transactions", which, although
WP:NOT fails to specify, I think we can safely say Wikipedia is not.

Snow delete Even if the DRV of the other page is overturned, this is not at all acceptable: excessive cross-categorization.

Delete per
WP:IINFO, being diagnosed with COVID-19 is not nearly significant enough to the subject to warrant such a cross-categorisation. I doubt we'd even bother mentioning it in the subject's article in most cases, unless they died from it. A list of people with a disease isn't necessarily a problem, and
List of HIV-positive people is a featured list, but that disease is life changing and COVID-19 isn't. Hut 8.5 07:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC)reply
Comment Probably a lone voice here, but I'd wait for the outcome of the DRV. If the main list is restored, then I see no reason why sub-lists can't exist, providing everything is sourced, etc. LugnutsFire Walk with Me 08:15, 23 March 2020 (UTC)reply
Speedy Delete Not only is this article a breach of
WP:BLP, this article is also a breach of law in several countries, publishing lists of medical prognosis without consent can allow action be taken against wikipedia, seriously, these lists and anything else like this should be exterminated by admins ASAP.

Delete and ban the creator from BLP articles, please. Serious BLP concern, and excessive over-categorization.

Delete While the split would be reasonable if we're going to have this kind of article in the first place, in order to keep the size manageable, the other concerns above are completely valid as to why we shouldn't have such lists to begin with. To use nom's example, if we were to maintain lists of individuals with impacted wisdom teeth, splitting it into articles for cross-country skiers, musicians, etc. would be reasonable to keep the size manageable, but we shouldn't have such lists to begin with.
