Contested deletion
editThis article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because... (The timeline doesn't even begin until April 1 (tomorrow), so there is no way the article can even have content. Sure, I created this page a little early, but that is no reason to delete it. It will likely have content by tomorrow (or the day after, depending on what happens in the political sphere.)) --Mgasparin (talk) 00:15, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - The article was created on 28 March and I moved it to draft as there was no content. The creator moved it back to mainspace within hours. A conversation followed on User talk:Mgasparin#Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency (2020 Q2) moved to draftspace, in which Mgasparin assured me content would added in two days. Assuming good faith I tagged the article "under review" so other editors would not nominate it for speedy deletion in the interim. That assumption of good faith was clearly misplaced as no content had been added. Attempts to discuss it further have just been met with sarcastic comments. Given that it still has no content, and when content will be added is, as pointed out above, dependent on politics, then the WP:A3 criteria for speedy deletion is still valid. --John B123 (talk) 01:30, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

References for Coronavirus cases
editHi Buster7, I think as far as refs are concerned, I would accept any reference provided that someone could go to that reference and view the coronavirus cases as they were ON THAT DAY, and not as they are currently. The biggest problem I have found with these sites is that they often only give the number of cases currently, not as they were sometime in the past. Mgasparin (talk) 00:26, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Right, thats a problem. Let me reconsider and search for some continuous source that locks in the # for that day. ―Buster7 ☎ 06:14, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- I just thought of something. If you look at the Internet Archive, you can see all the cases as they were on that day as the sites get captured quite often. Mgasparin (talk) 05:26, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
