I was really ticked off to read a current "news report" about this where neither the "journalists" nor the "regulators" are willing to list which retailers sold the infected cantaloupes and which didn't.[1] It is readily possible for anyone to look up individual chain stores and see what they say about the cantaloupes, or what people say about them.[2][3] We have a list of supermarket chains in the United States. But it is too big a job for one person - might take a whole day for a casual Wikipedia volunteer to assemble such a list, and who has the time? More to the point, who wants to do it if it's only going to be deleted as too detailed, too POV, too informative etc. So I just want to throw this out there: would a (inline sourced) table of retail chain status, at least the national retail chains and very preferably also the regional chains, be welcomed here?

If the article is going to be moved to 2011 United States listeriosis outbreak in cantaloupes, it seems to me that this is something that should be proposed at WP:RM rather than made as a non-controversial change. Thus I have moved it back. Twice now. In my view, unless there is another listeriosis outbreak in the U.S. in 2011, adding "in cantaloupes" would be unnecessary. But it's probably best to have a discussion, since opinions will differ. Good Ol’factory(talk)21:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that unless there is another realized outbreak that is notable, we should keep this title to be general, like it is now. The spinach and beef outbreaks were just scares and no one has gotten sick from them (or if they have, no one has died). So, unless another listeriosis outbreak in the US becomes notable, there's no reason to change this article title. SilverserenC23:38, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree that the title should remain as "2011 United States listeriosis outbreak", as there are currently no other outbreaks of listeriosis in the U.S. They have mentioned some recalls due to Listeria, but that is very different from actual outbreaks of disease.
