2001 Eastern North America heat wave

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Strong Delete. Non-noteable event. The article read like a story. There are no references or other links provided and I have not found one myself while surfing over the internet for the past 10 minutes. Even if we could find sources-there are many heatwaves across the world every week, just because it happened in America does not make it noteable.

 * Just because there's not a lot of articles on non-U.S. heat waves is no reason to not make articles for U.S. heatwaves. It's a reason to make articles for non-U.S. heat waves. bob rulz 01:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete. non-notable, no citations. Anastrophe 19:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep Very notable and lenghty heat wave that occured across the area. Although article can use some expansion and sources too. I've also alerted WikiProject Meteorology about the afd--JForget 23:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Notable event. It does need sourcing, though. Not being sourced is no reason to delete something; it's a reason to find sources for it. bob rulz 01:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and source. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 02:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per JForget, bobrulz, and Norton. Of course it was notable, although the August  2003 heatwave was worse in terms of body count and the blackout, if I recall. Bearian 00:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - There are now sufficient references, and it is evidently a notable event that has received attention from reliable sources. — xDanielx Talk 22:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
