Talk:February 2023 North Island floods

Created new page
I have created a new page for the flood events, as they appear to be more significant than to have only a subsection on Cyclone Gabrielle's wiki page.

"...the coverage and impact of this one is an order or magnitude higher than the others- there wasn't a huge amount of attention paid to those two in comparison to Gabrielle, with people drawing frequent comparisons to Bola from the 80s. I feel like Gabrielle definitely merits its own article and will be getting referenced in years to come fairly consistently in a way that Hale and 06F won't be" - From CG's talk page.

This is an unprecedented event, with many events and impacts coming from the floods.

I shall continue to update the page, but if the community feels that this page isn't warranted, please let me know here. Thank you and stay safe! Lord A.Nelson (talk) 02:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * It's the same thing as Cyclone Gabrielle. I think they should be the same article. There is a list that a couple of us put together at Talk:Cyclone Gabrielle of more detailed regional effects. I think we need to be bold and drop this into the cyclone article uping the detail of that. ShakyIsles (talk) 18:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The way I understand it is that the February floods were caused by Cyclone Gabrielle and thus the information about its effects should be contained to that article even though it probably has to share space with minimal impacts in VA, SI, PNG, NI, AU & NI. I still wonder though if one overall article about the January and February flooding would be better, however, only time wil tell.Jason Rees (talk) 15:17, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that this page isn't needed. The information here can be incorporated into the main page for Cyclone Gabrielle. Maple Doctor (talk) 04:58, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

I've taken the above as concensus for merge into Cyclone Gabrielle and threw up the template. A lot is already covered there. Be good to add anything missing over there. That article is light on regional level detail. ShakyIsles (talk) 20:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * How long until this page is deleted? Maple Doctor (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Any thoughts ? Jason Rees (talk) 14:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Formatting
I'll need help with formatting, as I am unsure on whether effects from the floods should be placed in the timeline section as they happen, or the impacts section under their correct label for easy reading. Lord A.Nelson (talk) 02:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
