Nominees

The lists featured in the article are the physicians and medical experts speculated to possibly win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine based on verified news agencies. Such lists are quite appropriate side by side with the official list of nominees to be revealed after 50 years, in observing predictions, and speculating deliberations and nominations. The list will be used in analysing who were the favourite physiologists and medicals doctors to win a specific year and the shortlisted individuals by the Karolinska Institute's Nobel Committee, and as to who were among the officially nominated or favoured to win despite not being nominated. The article will be a good reference for analysts and observers of the Nobel Prizes. For example, I have also created similar lists from 2020 to 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Therefore, do not remove the lists. JB Hoang Tam (talk) 23:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

If this section is to stay, I strongly suggest converting it to prose. Presenting it in a table form misguides the readers that this is the "official" list of candidates, as typical in other award articles. --Tone 14:35, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

More detailed explanation of the work

I feel like this page would be infinitely more meaningful if it included a few paragraphs at least on the history of the work and, more importantly, a general background of the findings and their significance in warranting a Nobel.
