 * Keep - It could not be more notable. Besides, it is an extremely well-sourced articles.  Kudos to its editors!!!! XavierItzm (talk) 00:00, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - France reported 2 deaths, that is so notable already. I mean seriously, this is an unfolding event and fast-growing facts are coming in every single day. At this moment of time, we should focus first on how to gather and collect all of those data, instead of focusing which one not notable enough to be immediately deleted. If we want to talk about deletion, at least wait until this outbreak has been subsided and we shall see which articles have no substantial content or which articles are redundant (can be merged with other related similar articles). But those shall only be done after this outbreak has been fully subsided, not now when we keep hearing the first infection in every new countries in Europe or Latin America, and also when some cities have been declared emergency.

 * Speedy Keep per above. -- hueman1 (talk)  12:27, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Delete It would make a lot more sense to maintain the main article 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Europe sensibly, instead of spreading epidemic rampant panic articles here in wild salami tactics.There is currently no epidemic in France.

 * Comment. If you think that 2020 coronavirus outbreak in France should be merged, not deleted, you should withdraw your nomination and close the discussion, and then go through the process of Proposed article mergers. Thank you. --Neo-Jay (talk) 21:26, 27 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - notable event. --Mvvnlightbae (talk) 20:52, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This is Wikipedia and wiki publishing at its best, and an important public service. The reason cited for deletion -- "there is currently no epidemic in France" -- seems like an agenda of censorship. 2:21 28 February — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.207.45 (talk) 07:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I live in France and this page is a useful source of information. If you have this much detail for each country in a single European page it would become unmanageable. MeBeMe3000 (talk) 08:11, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep This is currently the biggest and most important news out there. The article provides critical information for both travelers and regular people in France. Please close this as keep ASAP. Adoring nanny (talk) 10:55, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep This is an important event.-- Shwangtianyuan  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year  10:56, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * KEEP! This article by far is better than any other similar articles such as 2020 coronavirus outbreak in the United States or 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Italy which does not go into detailed information (such as source, origin, status, etc.) about the victims and patients of the outbreak. On the contrary, this article does! So why do you have to delete the better article while keeping the poorly updated/outdated one? — Squid Homme  (talk) 11:28, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep without question. This article now undergo major expansion as time progress. There are not reason to delete that notable article. Arguments about there is no epidemic in France is false and hoax.  ~Nick~  is not understand the actual situation in France that now have 41 cases in the country. Is this cases isn't epidemic? No way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.1.28.78 (talk) 12:12, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
