2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in Sichuan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article appears to be simply a collection of official announcement translation plus a table and an infobox, that doesn't actually have any encyclopedic content C933103 (talk) 03:21, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Response This characterisation is incorrect. The epidemiological case reports may be lengthy but the article included a few reactions and official measures, one criminal investigation case, and one other event related to law enforcement. Almost the same could be said for 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Macau and 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Hong Kong. Rethliopuks (talk) 08:23, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Needs a TNT for sure. Puts in far too many words what is in Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/China medical cases by province, basically WP:RAWDATA. Reywas92Talk 05:17, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment This article has the daily and total sub-provincial data, which that template which I maintained regularly does not contain. You're welcome to make a new template containing the daily sub-provincial data for Sichuan though. Rethliopuks (talk) 07:24, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I would recommend either moving the case reports to other more appropriate places (like wikisource?) now, or summarize the information available in those case reports using other ways, so that the article could be read more comfortably. C933103 (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. Needs improvement, but there's no reason to assume that this article cannot be improved. Otherwise many U.S. state articles right now merit deletion. WP:BEFORE C1. "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." Examples of U.S. state articles whose content isn't encyclopaedic right now: Missouri; Arizona; Idaho. Rethliopuks (talk) 07:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep The "Government responses" section, along with the table, are salvageable, but the Epidemiological timeline and Events sections both need a Tsar Bomba. As with many U.S. states, we don't need government responses that aren't strict lockdowns / curfews to be clogging the mainland China main article.

 * Keep Give it a chance for potential expansion. The massive scale of 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in mainland China means updating becomes unwiedly for areas with notable pandemic situations like Sichuan. Should there be problems in the article, then these could be fixed. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:44, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep It is a current situation facing by many countries and a current event that is happening have chances generates more independent significant coverage.Jai49 (talk) 10:34, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
