 ==Deaf Culture== 
 Hi, 

 I agree with you that, more than the other physiological conditions listed at that CfD, the community of the deaf do share a common, vibrant culture.  The easiest way to phrase this user category, in order to permit its survival against objections, is ""Wikipedians interested in Deaf Culture.""  This also allows hearing people of appropriate inclination (educators or relatives of the deaf, for example) to join in the effort.  The finding of the CfD was that a physiological condition, in itself, created no special status for purposes of collaboration.  Personally, I think this finding is a little silly; but, the result does make the valid point that people without a particular disability can nevertheless have an abiding interest and expertise in that disability.  These interested people should not be excluded merely because their bodies work more ""normally.""   If you phrase the category in the manner that I've suggested, I believe you've have no problems.  Best wishes,   "
