Merger

This article should be merged with 2025 Equateur disease outbreak as they are both about the same topic.173.27.3.111 (talk) 05:25, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article is much developed. I support speedily merging 2025 Equateur disease outbreak into here. Indeed, I'm not certain there's any content in 2025 Equateur disease outbreak not already here, so 2025 Equateur disease outbreak could just be redirected here.

I've merged 2025 Equateur disease outbreak into here. Bondegezou (talk) 09:46, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Title change and refocus?

Given that this is now officially recognized as a malaria outbreak (with some complications), it would be clearer to change the title to 2025 malaria outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; the lede could also be updated to reflect the current view of the outbreak. Any objections? Klbrain (talk) 09:39, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest 2025 Équateur province malaria outbreak, to match 2024 Kwango province malaria outbreak. Bondegezou (talk) 09:44, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine too. Klbrain (talk) 12:37, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: There have been some merges and changes to the article title and scope, but it seems to have settled down now. It certainly took a while to sort out, but there seems to have been effective collaborative work done as the story unfolded.
