Unlike other similar articles like 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Sabah, this one isn't for a specific country or state within a country, but for a largely undefined region (the Klang Valley article calls it "There is no official designation of the boundaries that make up Klang Valley"). It is not feasible or useful to have these articles for areas that aren't clearly defined and which overlap with other, clearly delineated areas (like the states of Malaysia).

- Rename to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Kuala Lumpur - I feel this article could be a little broader with the new name. Interstellarity (talk) 12:37, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect Dear god people, don't create nearly-empty pages just for the sake of it! Don't WP:SPLIT unless there's actually enough content to form a new subarticle! The Sabah and Sarawak articles aren't needed distinctly from 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Malaysia yet either! Reywas92Talk 00:45, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
@Fram:, name changed and that article will be expand sooner. angys (Talk Talk) 11:10, 18 March 2020 (UTC) @Interstellarity: Infact cases in Malaysia mostly do not separate two states as one entity. And KL is small so there are so many people who cross the border everday, plus KL once belongs to Selangor. So separate it is not a good idea. angys (Talk Talk) 16:32, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect
or mergeto 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Malaysia. There is no distinctive information here except for the numbers of active cases of coronavirus in two Malaysian states -- 161 and 113. This doesn't need to be a separate article when the main article about the pandemic in the country can cover statistics like that. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:05, 18 March 2020 (UTC)- I am now supporting a redirect only, with no merge. The numbers I mentioned above have not been updated since this article was created, even though this is a topic which one might expect to be updated on a regular basis. Since the article is presumably outdated already, the information should not be merged. By contrast, 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Malaysia#Cases by states is already being updated daily. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:38, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Malaysia. No substantial content, besides many states in Malaysia are heavily interlinked (in terms of human movement, transportation and so many things). Chongkian (talk) 02:54, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- Its now been moved to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya but is this title an arbitrary selection or does it reflect a natural area? We could have 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk but that would be a bit arbitrary. I agree that the old title shouldn't have an article since there's no clear inclusion criteria. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:04, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
