I believe we should create an article pertaining to the coronavirus global pandemic and the effect it has had on competitive play as a documentation of a notable event in competitive Smash history that is still not only ongoing but also growing. The tentative title would be: '''2019-20 coronavirus pandemic and its effect on competitive play'''. I wanted to see what the rest of the community thought before just creating it, and I initially ran the idea on discord but figured I should make an actual proposal on the wiki. Also, Cookies and Cream has already done a good job documenting the toll the pandemic has had on the scene [[User:Cookies and Creme/List of tournaments affected by the coronavirus threat|in this page]] where he has listed major tournament cancellations, postponements, and other ways they have been affected. The actual article would be based largely on his page plus whatever information related to the situation and whatever happens in the future.

It was also brought up on the Discord that it may be a good idea to have a '''list of major world events and their impact on competitive play''', which would be more general and cover things like natural disasters as well as pandemics. (The name could be tweaked a bit.) I'd be in support of that, since that way we could have a section noting the impact of COVID-19 while still putting off making an individual article until we know its full extent. What do you all think? ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 16:55, March 12, 2020 (EDT) | It was also brought up on the Discord that it may be a good idea to have a '''list of major world events and their impact on competitive play''', which would be more general and cover things like natural disasters as well as pandemics.

: | :'''Support''' for an article along the lines of '''List of major world events with notable impacts on competitive play''' that would include the coronavirus. Whether the virus warrants its own article could be discussed later on.
