 * Comment as with the nomination immediately above, I don’t think we’re close to the territory where an entire article needs to be deleted. Mccapra (talk) 23:49, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - This feels like a WP:POINTY nomination... the notability is pretty obvious, and non-english sources are allowed. Fieari (talk) 00:03, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep – in addition to the sources cited in the article and the ones listed by User:Jumpytoo, more are available at zh:2019冠状病毒病辽宁省疫情. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 06:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as it’s clear there’s no shortage of sources and no real concern about verifiability has been advanced. Mccapra (talk) 07:20, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
