2014 South-Eastern Australian heatwave

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced, including dead links. Much of the contents is not sourced at all. Apparently not an exceptional heat wave compared to the early 2009 episode and the 2012–2013 Angry Summer in the same region. Trivial, anecdotal information such as Retailers were also caught out as they struggled to sell winter fashion items such as coats, boots, gloves and beanies.. Sensationalist wording unwarranted: The heatwave finally ended on May 24, having stretched an astonishing 9 days. NINE FULL DAYS!!! Overall, fails WP:NEVENT for lack of strong immediate or lasting effects. — JFG talk 20:17, 23 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not the weather channel; editors are contributing to the wrong place if they think it is. Without any long-term ramifications, I fail to see why such an article was created. Props to JFG for starting this process on weather articles. Not everyone enjoys when policy is enforced, but it is what makes the encyclopedia great.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:47, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Very routine reporting even for a standard heat wave. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:32, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:NEVENT Not sufficiently remarkable to meet notability criteria on the long term timescale of an encyclopedia. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:52, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
