• Keep Delete It does exist. The reference in the wiki page is very hard to access--I was unable to, but I did find another report of the same case: Plum, Claus M.; Warburg, Mette; Danielsen, Jørgen (1978). "Defective Maturation of Granulocytes, Retinal Cysts and Multiple Skeletal Malformations in a Mentally Retarded Girl". Acta Haematologica. 59 (1): 53–63. doi:10.1159/000207745. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 16:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC) My keep vote was based on a misunderstanding of notability criteria. I now revised my vote to delete. amended 16:51, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Existing, as defined above, it's not what we're looking for here. Notability is what we are looking for and if the only source is a 1976 paper, I think it is not notable. That it is a rare syndrome would not mean that writing about it would also be so rare. CT55555 (talk) 01:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  That's not an argument for deletion for a disease/syndrome. See WP:HEA. Diseases that have been officially diagnosed in one or more humans, animals, or plants are notable. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 16:18, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:HEA is part of Wikipedia:Notability (natural sciences), which is very clearly marked as a failed proposal. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:26, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  My apologies for not noticing that. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 16:49, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep About two pages of journal articles in GScholar to show it exists. Oaktree b (talk) 02:48, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Only at most six of those results are about the article subject. The others are mostly about fruit or air power. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  In fact, just three of them seem to be of any real relevance-- Plum's original paper, and a couple of cites by his colleague Mette Warburg. PepperBeast (talk) 11:13, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Sourcing limitations cause me to question notability and reliability of said sources. NiklausGerard (talk) 09:39, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
