Requested move 8 March 2020

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.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. While most supporters agree with removing the year, there is no consensus to replace "lockdown" with "quarantine" or to move the page in general. I suggest to split the RM in two for possible alternate opinions regarding the year and the event.(non-admin closure) © Tbhotch™ (en-3). 20:40, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

– WP:CONCISE and consistency with 2020 Hubei lockdowns, which are unprecedented at that scale (population 50M+ compared to the similar 15M+ in Lombardy, Veneto, and other northern regioni). The original move rationale riffs of WP:CRYSTALBALL. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 17:26, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

  • As author - I think the new title fits better. Though there is almost certainty that we will have just one lockdown of Northern Italy in this year (and likely for the next few years, or decades), "coronavirus lockdown" seems to be a better description. Juxlos (talk) 17:54, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Comment Whichever way the request goes, the other page at 2020 Hubei lockdowns should be matched or changed rfor reciprocity. Sleath56 (talk) 18:16, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Should be quarantines cos thats the proper word and commonname --Almaty (talk) 18:57, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment The word "coronavirus" should really be in the title. What was the lockdown for? A terrorist attack? A nuclear meltdown? Outbreak of plague? Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
  • What other border shutdowns / quarantines have occurred at the scale of even northern Italy? CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 00:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep in mind that the article title will be read by people in the future as well. What if a lockdown happens somewhere in Italy in 2030 or 2050? It's helpful to make it clear in the title that the lockdown is because of the coronavirus. – numbermaniac 07:41, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Evidence of coronavirus lockdowns being the common name? No rigorous WP:RS analysis has been provided yet. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 00:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
  • The lockdown/quarantine is 24 hours old, but I see both used rather interchangably. Doubt there's going to be an order of magnitude level difference. Juxlos (talk) 01:45, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Would a better title be 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Lombardy and have the information there? Most of the discussion is on that region. Other regional articles could be created as needed. CrazyC83 (talk) 02:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Around 6 million people outside Lombardy are also locked down, so that would be hard. This article would be focusing on the lockdown anyways while the mentioned article would lean to the epidemiology, etc. Juxlos (talk) 09:29, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment I propose the title Northern Italy coronavirus lockdowns. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 03:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
This proposal seems to be moot now that the quarantine covers all of Italy. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 16:27, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
@廣九直通車: There's also lockdowns in Daegu and a number of counties in Washington State. Not 'too general,' given this lockdowns are related. —SquidHomme (talk) 11:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose All of Italy is on lockdown, and going on with a few people here who have commented, I think we should merge it with Hubei 2020 Lockdowns or make a new article taking info from this one and the Hubei one, adding information about the lockdowns in some counties of Washington State. •rslashthinkong the oof man 18:18, 10 March 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rslashthinkong (talk • contribs)
  • Oppose, all of Italy is currently under lockdown. BanditTheManedWolf (talk) 23:17, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Strong oppose The entire nation is in lockdown and Italian government has issued warnings to their citizens to not come out from their residences unnecessarily and it implies to all of Italy. Abishe (talk) 02:59, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose Per Abishe and Rslashthinking. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 03:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose Italy page move. Maybe update Hubei's to match current Italy's naming, i.e. 2020 Hubei coronavirus lockdown, for eventual content merge or a list of coronavirus lockdown articles. I am leaning towards a list or a summation page as different regions/countries have different responses and learnings which can be detailed in their own pages. robertsky (talk) 04:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose per Robertsky. The Hubei article should probably be moved to include "coronavirus" in its title. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 15:40, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Support New names--Dthomsen8 (talk) 22:11, 11 March 2020 (UTC).
  • Oppose per Abishe. PhilKnight (talk) 22:21, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Support removing 2020 from the title - there's no need to disambiguate by year. Italy hasn't done this before. Jim Michael (talk) 12:05, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Support moving to Italy coronavirus quarantine or 2020 Italy coronavirus quarantine. "Quarantine" appears to be the predominant word in the sources. Daß Wölf 23:14, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Support Remove 2020 from title and changing to Quarantine for reasons stated above TheTeaDrinker (talk) 12:59, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Support Removing 2020 from the title of the Italy article. Not sure about the other one. Renerpho (talk) 22:42, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose per Robertsky and Nice4What. The Hubei article should probably be moved to include "coronavirus" in its title. Inclined to agree with the sentiment from SquidHomme that there's room for an overarching article on Lockdowns worldwide. Yadsalohcin (talk) 16:17, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
    Comment An overarching article on corona-related lockdowns is overdue, given that Spain, France and Israel have today joined the list of countries on nationwide lockdown,[1] and others are likely to follow. Renerpho (talk) 01:56, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
  • no Oppose: The entire country is in lockdown since 13 March 2020. Unless the proposer intends to talk only about the goings-on in northern Italy, I don't see any reason for the article to be renamed. --Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 18:28, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
  • support removing “lockdown” from title as it has carceral connotations/implications. “quarantine”, “movement restrictions”, “stay-at-home orders”, “social distancing measures” ... would seem to be more accurate. Caffelatteo (talk) 18:26, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Oppose following what Lugnuts and Tenryuu 🐲. Coronavirus or COVID-19 (IMHO better) must be included for reader's clarity. Stormtrooper (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 9 March 2020

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.

The result of the move request was: Closed as moot The locus of the discussion is whether the word northern should be in capital letter. The lockdown is now nationwide and the page renamed so the discussion is no longer relevant SYSS Mouse (talk) 01:28, 10 March 2020 (UTC)(non-admin closure)


2020 Northern Italy coronavirus lockdowns → 2020 northern Italy coronavirus lockdowns – Per MOS:COMPASS, the first letter of the word "northern" should not be capitalized, as "northern Italy" is not the proper name of an entity, meaning that "northern" is only the geographical adjective associated to "Italy". Ritchie92 (talk) 14:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Northern shouldn't be in the title, because part of the affected area is in Marche, which is in Central Italy. Jim Michael (talk) 15:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Maybe just "Italy", then? Would be a little bit oversized though as only one out of the 20-ish provinces are not in the north. Juxlos (talk) 16:11, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

There was a bold move of this page that obviously makes this move request now meaningless. So I guess it can be closed. --Ritchie92 (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

2020 Italy coronavirus lockdown → 2020 coronavirus lockdown in Italy – Can we change the title to "2020 coronavirus lockdown in Italy"? This is more appropriate and is in line with other similar articles like 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Italy or 2020 coronavirus lockdown in India Amazingcaptain (talk) 16:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Comment If you like to request move like this, can you requesting rename title from 2020 Hubei lockdowns to 2020 coronavirus lockdown in Hubei for same reason. 36.77.128.157 (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Support moving both the Italy and Hubei titles, for clarity and consistency. My understanding is that the lockdown of Hubei, in particular, was directed by the national government, and not the Hubei government. BD2412 T 04:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Support per nom. ~ HAL333 06:19, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Support per consistency. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 06:31, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Support. Too many nouns in apposition as currently written. Einsof (talk) 15:46, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment Since everybody seems to be supporting this, how may I move it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amazingcaptain (talk • contribs) 16:14, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
