May 25, 2018 at 20:36 comment added Ramiro de la Vega By the way, $\omega_1$ is not meta-Lindelof either (I believe for ordinals, meta-Lindelof and metacompact coincide). So the theorem cannot be pushed up even changing "finitely many" by "countably many".
May 25, 2018 at 19:53 comment added Ramiro de la Vega Spaces satisfying the conclusion of your theorem are called metacompact. The ordinal $\omega_1$ is not metacompact since countably compact metacompact spaces are compact.
May 25, 2018 at 17:09 comment added Joel David Hamkins I guess this argument uses only $T_1$ and not fully Hausdorff.
May 25, 2018 at 16:30 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Thanks Joel for this partial answer! I was thinking about how to carry on the induction to larger cardinals, but it seems like one would get a "predecessor problem" (in your argument, you have only finitely many $k<n$).
