Can we move this page to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Washington, D.C., and keep the scope limited to D.C.? ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:19, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Ser Amantio di Nicolao and Natureium: Curious for your thoughts. I have a feeling we will see creation of other U.S. state articles as well, so limiting the scope here might be helpful so we don't set the precedent of articles for metropolitan areas. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:20, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- My original idea was to limit the article to DC, but the area is so dense that people are going to be infecting others across the borders in all directions, and any actions that one state takes to limit the spread are going to be of limited effectiveness if the other two are not enacting similar measures. I am thinking of this from an epidemiological perspective, rather than a political one, so if this does not make sense to others, I would not be against moving it.

- Natureium, I'm concerned about editors creating similar articles for other metro areas. Since you're not against moving, I will do so now, and I invite you to please move over content from the US article applicable to this one. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:28, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- I meant after discussion with more people, but whatever... Natureium (talk) 20:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Natureium, Do you mind if I archive this (seemingly now moot) discussion? ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:38, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- Another Believer, No problem. You don't really need to ask before archiving an inactive discussion on an article talk page. Natureium (talk) 20:45, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
