There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 00:35, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The request to rename this article to SARS-related coronavirus has been carried out. If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

SARSr-CoV → SARS-related coronavirus – This article was recently renamed (from a title different from what I am suggesting here). However, I suggest that this proposed name would be more WP:RECOGNIZEable for most readers. I suggested this title in April 2020, but at the time the consensus was to not abbreviate SARS. In the more recent discussion, the abbreviation of SARS was agreed, so that objection has since been overturned. I suggest that the name is now overly abbreviated to the point of making it difficult for people to understand what the topic is. I doubt that most readers understand what this fully abbreviated name means. I also made this suggestion in the recent discussion, but no one responded to the suggestion during that discussion. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:14, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Convenience link to the previous move discussion last month (which was a bundled nomination affecting four pages) —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:33, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Support – In the previous move discussion I said I was unsure between the titles "Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus" and "SARSr-CoV". I think the proposed title is clearer than either of those. For non-specialist readers, the current title is too easily confused with SARS-CoV-1. —Mx.
