Talk:Statistics of the COVID-19 vaccination

Question: using WikiData or better solution than a WikiText article on a single language?
Hi wise Wikipedians,

I just try to start a page for tracking COVID-19 vaccination, but not sure if it is the best approach: shall we keep it as a Wikipedia article page that works only on a single language and have challenge to move and share in other WP languages and articles of EN Wikipedia, or shall we use WikiData or other open source relational data and transclude them into EN Wikipedia?

Get 1500 to qualify DYK
If we are lucky enough to grow this page to 1500 words within first 7 days, we might be eligible for DYK and thus we could get more WPians to help to ramp-up this collaboration to collect vaccination. Shall we try?

Deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it has received widely coverage by many WP:RS. -- xinbenlv Talk, Remember to "ping" me 23:03, 11 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Was this topic's creation discussed anywhere? Which statistics will be presented here that aren't included in COVID-19 vaccine? Our World in Data maintains a comprehensive collection of vaccine statistics. How will this topic differ from what is already available on OWID? - Wikmoz (talk) 07:52, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

This page needs more data
I believe most mainstream media have released detailed data as far as the delivery of vaccines. This should be the priority data that the page can cover for now as most of the process of the vaccination is rather new. Numerous countries are still in talks with countries that have received doses to get minor shipments of the vaccines. I can't add much to the topic because my inexperience. It would be nice to get the statistics based on all available vaccines, and have this as a ratio with the availability of doses, which should also somehow help track the relevant numbers. Also I believe this page should be protected due to its importance. Thanks for creating this page, hope some skilled people join the editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamgoku (talk • contribs) 23:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Merge
I believe this material would be better as a section of the new Deployment of COVID-19 vaccines article. Thoughts? John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 23:23, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for asking. I am open to that option. I was anticipating that people are interested enough to see a full featured table growing with daily updates for global countries. But It seems as of today, not many editors join the force to update it (yet?). xinbenlv  Talk, Remember to "ping" me 00:38, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Remove: This would be a noble effort if the data weren't already recorded by OWID and available in multiple tables and graphs. Accordingly, I don't think it's worth the effort to recompile the same data. Total vaccinations and vaccinations as a percent of population are presented in Deployment of COVID-19 vaccines. - Wikmoz (talk) 20:32, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This sort of data is better presented in Template:COVID-19 vaccination data; it doesn't make sense to have a prose version. As far as historical data, it's not really encyclopedic as Wikipedia is not for excessive listings of unexplained statistics, and the resources pointed out above fulfill that purpose.  The intentions are good, but I'll redirect this to Deployment of COVID-19 vaccines.  John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 02:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
