some of this category's contents should be diffused into subcategories rather than being in this category directly. The category is getting too long in terms of the number of pages that are in it directly. Okay?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 04:13, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it that some of the entries in this category are "people with" a certain disease? Surely such categories are classifications of people and not diseases. Vorbee (talk) 17:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give a few examples? I just looked over the first two pages, but I didn't see any. Natureium (talk) 19:52, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are three subcategories with names beginning with "People with" and containing articles about individual persons. So those categories are categorized with "Rare diseases", but the articles in them are not. --Pipetricker (talk) 15:43, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added small cell lung cancer into category of rare diseases, as per National Organization for Rare Disorders. I am surprised nobody added this earlier, but it's never too late. Why is it now showing up on this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rare_diseases
