Why is this article called "Chronology" while all of the other months' similar articles are called "Timeline"? Should this page be renamed? LizRead!Talk!22:08, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
This page and the others are far too detailed and stray too much into WP:NOTNEWS territory. I get that these events are foremost in people's minds, and that it feels like we're helping by giving morbid day-by-day tallies from every country in the world, but this page needs to be consolidated and rebuilt as an encyclopedia article. For example, daily totals can be more concisely represented in chart form. Before that's done, I don't see the point of a naming discussion because, depending on how the page is constructed and aligned/remerged with similar ones, a different title may be more appropriate. -- Netoholic@15:08, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support after reading the request (originally oppose). The "Chronology" term was only used because of the old section heading. If the article was created freshly now, this is what it would be called. >>BEANS X2t15:02, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also support name change for consistency, but all of these need to be entirely reworked. Daily "X country reported N cases and M deaths" with an arbitrary selection of countries repeated over and over serves no reader well at all. We have loads of statistical tables that present this data, the NEWS presentation is not navigable and worthless at its size. Reywas92Talk08:08, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
