Talk:Grey December

Propose to merge back to 2006-07 bushfire season article
I really don't see that this article is justified as a break away from the main one about the bushfire season. Neither is of sufficient length to justify two articles. This is the only place I have heard the term "Grey December" and I note someone else has called for a citation.--Golden Wattle talk 00:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Agree with all points, merge into 2006-07 Australian bushfire season. -- Longhair\talk 01:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds fair enough to me. If some sort of name for these fires does emerge, we can think about splitting them later. Rebecca 04:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It think it would be useful to merge the two articles for now, especially as the information is constantly being added to and it's useful to have the information all together during its development phase rather than split the effort. I think a split could still occur down the track, but would be best left until the bushfire season is concluded to see everything in perspective. A separate issue is the name of this article which is creative but appears to be not based on anything that can be referenced to a source in the media or elsewhere.--Melburnian 05:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I've no problem with merging, but removed the deletion notice from the article because (a) I don't believe summary deletion is the way to go until a merge is done, and (b) there was no notification to the original author. Philip J. Rayment 08:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is an embarrassing neologism - I never one heard the term used in the Australian media during December, did the original author invent it? Also there is no requirement to notify anyone when an article is listed for deletion. --Peta 02:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
