List of companies mandating Covid-19 vaccine

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is an unnecessary list, as it only seems to represent some major companies the U.S. and will be useless when COVID-19 is over since no companies will be mandating it by then. Until then, the list will likely never be complete and I don't see its need to be a Wikipedia article. See WP:LISTCRUFT. Waddles 🗩 🖉 01:03, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

*This list was part of the article COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the United States before that article was redirected to COVID-19_vaccination_in_the_United_States. Vaccine mandates seems to be a legitimate encyclopedic topic so a stand alone list seems acceptable. Covid-19 may never be over and companies may continue to have mandates. If not, having a historical reference may prove of some value. The date the mandate is dropped could be added if that happens. There are lists on Wikipedia that will likely never be complete.

 * If that's the case, the article should probably merged into COVID-19 vaccination in the United States in form of a short, descriptive prose noting some of the first or most notable among the companies to mandate the vaccine. It's also mostly unclear and unorganized for who the companies are mandating the vaccine for, whether it's for customers, employees, or both and which country the mandate is in. While there are many list articles that will never be complete as you mentioned, this is a more extreme case, because it's nearly everyday we hear news about companies mandating COVID restrictions/requirements, so this list will rapidly become outdated unless someone is there every week to add, remove, and edit entries. <b style="color:white">Waddles</b> <b style="color:white">🗩</b> <b style="color:white">🖉</b> 02:23, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Delete The contemporary and fast-changing nature of this topic is likely to mean the list is never accurate. Completeness issues aside, this will need so much monitoring as rules from individual companies change and will run into WP:TOOSOON problems. The topic is already well covered on here. There is already an abundance of caviats attached to those companies listed - do not foresee this getting simpler. The list at the moment includes a trade association and audience members which I am not sure falls under the rubric of the list as well as erroneously stating that all TSX60 companies are mandating vaccinations. The TSX60 entry links to an article that is constantly updating as companies change their policies (Who will monitor this?). While these are fixable problems the list is unmaintainable - WP:NOTNEWS.

 * Delete - Too indiscriminate of a list, especially given the FDA's recent full approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. --MuZemike 11:23, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes that opened the flood gates. It means in some ways this list may soon be as useful as "List of schools that mandate the measles vaccine".John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:52, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This has the potential to grow very large especially since basically any company that requires any employee to get the vaccine can be included. Also for multi-location companies, as long as they mandate it for any emplyee for any time at any location they can be included. This has the potnetial to be very long, especially if some locations mandate all employers in their local create this mandate.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:49, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Also, I have to say on a certain philosophical level the fact that we not only inclde those who allow various exemptions but those who allow an alternative route of weekly testing makes this list mean less than it claims it means.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:53, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment The list also has serious scope issues. For example, we have lots of evidence of various universities mandating vaccines for employees. So no one has really presented any evidence that the scope of this list makes sense. All the more so because including mandates on audience members seems to deviate from the idea company mandates implies.John Pack Lambert (talk)
