What are the criteria to include someone in the notable deaths section? This list is going to grow rapidly. Natureium ( talk) 01:08, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Navigation templates are particularly useful for a small, well-defined group of articles; templates with a large number of links are not forbidden, but can appear overly busy and be hard to read and use. Good navboxes generally follow most or all of these guidelines:
- All articles within a template relate to a single, coherent subject
- The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article.
- The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent.
- There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template.
- If not for the navigation template, an editor would be inclined to link many of these articles in the See also sections of the articles.
I support User:Animalparty in that this template should not become a laundry list of deaths of people who otherwise have no relation to each other than geography; that's not what navboxes are for. The list is already overly long and will only grow longer. Opencooper ( talk) 20:25, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
While the notable deaths have currently been removed from this template, I have initiated broader discussion. Please see a discussion regarding this template and several related templates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject COVID-19#Coronavirus pandemic templates and notable deaths. Thank you, --Animalparty!

J4lambert, I don't think criticizing Trump's handling of the pandemic response qualifies for inclusion in this nav temp. I can't image how many inclusions that would precipitate. —valereee ( talk) 18:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
The "Notable people" section appears to be focused on officials directly responsible for federal and (in some cases) state responses to the pandemic. Should any local officials like Sara Cody also be listed?
Category:Officials associated with the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic seems to have a similar purpose as the "Notable people" section of this template, but there is a proposal to delete that category. If the category is deleted, it seems unlikely that there would ever be a category that corresponds to this section of the template, making it more difficult for readers to find local officials associated with the government response from general articles such as COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

This template clearly needs some cleanup. We're not going to list every film released during the pandemic just since it was released during the pandemic. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 04:15, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Could the scientist Kizzmekia Corbett please be added to the navbox listing under Scientists? 108.18.207.147 ( talk) 01:54, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
