Fails WP:STANDALONE. No reason for this when we already have List of deaths due to COVID-19. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 00:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree that this list is redundant and we don't need a separate list for every country that someone has died in Spiderone 10:13, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Redundant. There is already a list on the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa article. LefcentrerightDiscuss 14:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa#Notable deaths, I think that's a better target than the main list. postdlf (talk) 18:47, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll also note that the main list is having a size issue, it is so large that it is causing the reflist template to not display properly (see discussion). Splitting by country may not be a bad idea. postdlf (talk) 18:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think that should only apply to those with more deaths. Foxnpichu (talk) 15:23, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect So that the article can be created whenever it gets bigger. Accesscrawl (talk) 03:45, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
