Talk:โควิด-๑๙

RFV discussion: May–July 2020

 * I can find no example of the spelling with Thai digits - but I can find plenty of examples with European digits. The citation gave Thai digits, but on following it up, I found that the source used European digits.  I have corrected the citation.

The information in this entry should be transferred to the entry. If evidence can be found for the form with Thai digits, I propose that the form with European digits be made the main lemma, and this entry be demoted to being a rare alternative form. --RichardW57 (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I have no personal preference on either set of numerals, but the template "th-x" just doesn't support the Arabic numerals. Anyway, I've moved โควิด-๑๙ to โควิด-19, as the latter seems to be more generally used. And you didn't have to remove the source of the quote. --Bitterschoko (talk) 16:56, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry about removing the source; that was an accident after fighting to get something reasonable out of before starting a long battle to fix it.  (Cleaning up its discussion page was battle enough!)  However, changing a quote from the original is a bit naughty.  At one point I thought I'd have to settle for just copying the lines from the generated text. --RichardW57 (talk) 17:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

"โควิด-19" is directly transcribed from "COVID-19" so it appears everywhere even in official documents that usually use Thai digits -- I can confirm. --Octahedron80 (talk) 02:44, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * So it looks as though the page (currently a mere redirect) โควิด-๑๙ should be deleted. I was surprised to hear the '19' pronounced as an English word; the pronunciation as a Thai phrase (word?) seems commoner.  I've fixed  to support European numerals in words. --RichardW57 (talk) 11:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
