2014 Alberta floods

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hasn't been expanded from 3 sentences in over 10 days. Seems like news, with no lasting coverage. 117Avenue (talk) 02:03, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Coverage is WP:ROUTINE news. A flood of this small magnitude will not have lasting coverage unlike last year's 2013 Alberta floods. An article for last year's event is not a precedent for articles on every flood occurring in Alberta that follows. Hwy43 (talk) 02:58, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. It was severe for many people, but the biggest flood in a year is not notable event in the long term.  --Rob (talk) 09:03, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Just a routine WP:NOTNEWS violation at this point. If substantive consequences, actually comparable to the more genuinely notable 2013 Alberta floods, actually emerge over the coming days, then we can start a new article when that happens — but as long as all you can actually say about it is "a flood happened", the flood in question does not merit permanent coverage in an encyclopedia.
