List of healthcare systems forced to ration care for COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic
Listcruft of the highest order. Fails WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and also bears a vague, unwieldy, sensationalist, and redundant title. The term "healthcare system" can refer to various things depending on context, but "sum of all hospitals in a particular city, affiliated or not" seems like an unfamiliar meaning. Also, citation needed that they were "forced to" do anything. "List of cities in which hospitals became full in 2020" would more precisely reflect the article's contents, if kept. I suspect such cities are more numerous than shown, yet not quite enough to justify merging to List of cities. The list is probably unmaintainable. ―cobaltcigs 23:32, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. I just don't think this information belongs in its own article. The selection of systems to include in the list seems rather arbitrary as well, putting undue emphasis on those particular countries. The comments aren't informative either. Ovinus (talk) 12:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment, does/should WP have an article about "Impact of COVID-19 on Healthcare Systems" that could include this sort of information? Coolabahapple (talk) 00:23, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree with Ovinus and nom. I also don't think that there is anything worth keeping from the article so I would oppose a redirect/merge Spiderone  17:03, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm also in agreement with all of the above. I think virtually every healthcare system has had to ration, so it's just going to be a list of everywhere. Sixula (talk) 20:10, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Looks like a listcruft to me. Riddhidev BISWAS (talk) 16:29, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
