Talk:Undercounting of cases and deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic in India

Merge proposal
Most of the text of this article concerns the method of counting Covid-19 cases in India, and there are a few under undue/unrelated details such as 'overcounting' of the cases and 'Figures and estimates'.

Just like it has been done with all other countries, we should better merge this article to Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in India, which is basically empty since it has only charts and maps but lacks content. It would be a better fit for all content added on this article. शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil (talk) 07:32, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil; I have made additions to the article since this merge proposal was posted. Do you still think that a merge is needed following these changes? DTM (talk) 10:05, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil; expanding Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in India is a good idea. But is a merge needed? Just asking again following the additions to this article as stated above. DTM (talk) 11:30, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree with merging to the Statistics article. "Undercounting" in the article title implies that India is intentionally underestimated figures like China. That is clearly not the case. Another solution is to change the title to Undercounting of COVID-19 pandemic cases by country and dedicate a section to India along with other nations.

 * I agree with the suggestion above and hope will agree as well. शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil (talk) 04:02, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Abhishek0831996, शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil, merge complete. This talk page can be retained or this section can be moved to Talk:Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Creating an article related for the world in general raises the issue whether this topic has been covered in any of the other numerous COVID-19 related articles. There are lines here and there. Then there are also topics like Mortality displacement. This aside, merge is done. DTM (talk) 07:30, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe the article could also be called COVID-19 pandemic excess mortality by country. DTM (talk) 10:52, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This is the closest to undercounting— COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country DTM (talk) 11:13, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
