Talk:Smokehouse Creek Fire

Issues with multiple separate fires.
This article has multiple issues and struggles with conflating information regarding separate wildfires that are not the Smokehouse Creek Fire. The death caused by the wildfires, as well as a large portion of the information attributed near Amarillo is actually from a separate large fire called the "Windy Deuce" fire. (link)

There are a couple approaches that can be done here. I think the best case would be to move the article to "2024 Texas Panhandle Wildfires" or something along those lines, such as what was done for the 2023 Hawaii Wildfires, since those were also multiple separate fires.

 * Yeah, it's tricky. This is now the largest wildfire in Texas state history and it certainly qualifies for an article in its own right, but it's hard to separate from the wider Plains wildfire outbreak it occurred within. A lot of the details are muddled. I would be in favor of starting a new article for the outbreak itself and linking the two. Penitentes  ( talk ) 19:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Noting that 2024 Texas wildfires was recently created for any moving, merging, or summarizing by interested parties. -- Kinu t/c 04:08, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Are you sure the death was caused by the Windy Deuce fire because according to the InciWeb map it looks like the only fire near Stinnett is the Smokehouse Creek fire. 2600:1700:40F1:3FD0:41F3:86A9:D36B:A463 (talk) 05:33, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
