Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Nonthaburi Province

Separate article?
I don't think having separate articles for Thai provinces is going to be a good idea. The unprecedented provincial action notwithstanding, Thailand functions as a unitary state and the public response is still overwhelmingly guided by national policy. Yes, there's a lot of news coverage that could fill the article (and would be too much for the main Thailand article), but Wikipedia isn't supposed to be a news ticker. I think that keeping in mind the goal of writing an encyclopaedia, ultimately most of the coverage should be condensed; details about individual cases and incidents need not be included. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:16, 30 March 2020 (UTC)


 * The initial purpose of this article was to use it as a rough exemplar for the layout and style of other province-specific articles, should the need arise in the future (which was mostly why I specifically chose Nonthaburi to write on, as there's enough news coverage to compile into a decent sized stub, but wouldn't be as time consuming to work on compared to say, Bangkok). I do agree though that the subject isn't notable enough at the moment to warrant a separate article, and on second thought I guess I should've published this as a draft instead. My original plan was to only create separate articles for provinces with a relatively high concentration of cases and where amphoe-level data is available (Chonburi, Pattani, Yala, to name a few), although that's probably not necessary anymore for now – as for what to do with the rest going forward, would you suggest combining all future province-level content into a single separate article (i.e. "2020 coronavirus pandemic in Thailand by province") or as a section under the main article? — Tony Patt (talk • contribs) 08:42, 30 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that maybe the first split should be to create a Timeline of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Thailand article, to offload information about individual events from the main article. The by-province content could probably be a section in the timeline article. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:19, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I vote to merge and agree with a separate timeline page, which has been done for other countries - see Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that major events in Thailand should also be included in the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic main timeline, now divided by month and region.

I've merged the content to Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, which I recently created. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:27, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
