The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." 444:
addition, the nominator implies that we need more academic articles for this topic to be notable, and this is not true either. We need reliable sources, and we have them already that list films in this manner. I would also note that among the three major references, there is overlap in film titles. Some films like

is yet another source that talks about diabetes in films. I find it reliable because there are medical professionals who analyze some of the films (all of which are already included in the list). EDIT: I think we could have a decent number of paragraphs above this list, combining this new source with

I agree that this is a slippery slope given how many diseases there are, but diabetes is easily in the top 5 most common diseases (in developing countries). Also the number of films produced is (still currently) manageable, if it was books it would be too indiscriminate (over 100x the number of books

While it may make sense to have articles on genres/subgenres, such as the home invasion film, and on prominent themes such as homosexuality in cinema or maybe the representation of illness in film, if they are discussed in academic film studies publications or by multiple serious critics, I can't see

Actually, we have only one solidly reliable source: Ferguson's "The Cinema of Control: On Diabetic Excess and Illness in Film". The other sources do not speak to notability. Aside from Ferguson, the only talk of diabetes in film are from diabetes advocacy groups (which literally cover all aspects of

It may not be as common a plot element in films as, say horse racing, insanity, parenthood, crime solving, combat, or shipwrecks, but it does not have to be the most common thing. It was clearly used a a major plot element in the listed films to provide some reason for urgency, as in Panic Room, or
955:
For what it's worth, diabetes is very uncommon to see in films. Dr. Ferguson (the academic reference in this article) said so himself, and his article named the majority of the titles already listed. Whatever titles that do not have a footnote to him are just other references being used instead (so

This stand-alone list is not attempting to be a list of films in a particular genre. It is a list of films with content in common. Film genres and film content can overlap (like with home invasions), but they can also be mutually exclusive. This list is based on references outside of Knowledge, so

Many of these films aren't "featuring" diabetes, diabetes is merely mentioned. If we had pages for films that mention any concept, where would be stop? As has been mentioned, a page featuring films for "diseases" with some sort of limitation on what diseases, would be a useful page and a lot more

To expand on my original comments, the nominator says the list is not notable. This is not true, as I referenced the notability guidelines for stand-alone lists above. The sources used in the article justify such a list, so unless their reliability is disputed, there is a claim to notability. In

Why not? Such a list is clearly a reliable source that can be used, and if we have more than one list, there is precedent in the world outside of Knowledge for a list in it. I understand that this is a topic of marginal notability, but it still has basis in reality. I referenced the notability
606:- per the sources provided by Erik in the article. It meets the Knowledge criteria for Stand-alone Lists as a referenced unified topic. (I also like Clarityfriend's and Erik's ideas for the possibility of expanding the topic to include other well-represented diseases: creating a general 589:
to films). I think an article on "films featuring disease" is a great idea, if it's delineated in the top 5 or 10 diseases, and perhaps some consideration about fiction vs documentary since documentaries may be too indiscriminate, except for certain ones (difficult line to draw). --

Are you saying the other sources are not reliable? Assuming they are considered reliable, then per the notability guidelines for stand-alone lists, they absolutely qualify in supporting the list topic. If the sources' reliability is questionable, let's review them. We have one from

enough coverage on diabetes in film for it to be a notable topic. There's a lot of lists of films published with different connections or common features, but just because a movie magazine/website does a "top ten films featuring X", we don't need to have an article on it. --

Knowledge is not intended to be a source of original and previously unpublished content, but that is not the case here. 567:. This helps provide context for the relevance of this stand-alone list. As I said above, a source does not have to be "academic" to indicate notability. This is clearly a topic of minor—not nonexistent—note. 196:
There isn't significant coverage of the topic in sources; there seems to be only one academic article about the subject. While it may be an interesting list, it simply isn't notable. See also,

Still, I think it would be more palatable to have individual lists depending on available references. Maybe there could be a mix of both? 147: 82: 532:
