2015 North American heat wave

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a significant heat wave. Related wildfires are treated in their own articles. List of record temperatures in various locations is WP:INDISCRIMINATE. — JFG talk 08:28, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge into List of heat waves. My explanation from the nomination for the 2017 article applies:
 * This article combines local news events, each of which is individually non-notable, into a single article. To be notable, the article would need secondary sources that evaluate the heat wave across North America as a whole and demonstrate that it is notably unusual from heat waves that occur every summer. Unlike the 2018 article, this 2015 article no longer documents a current event, and I'm unable to find sources showing that this is anything other than a run-of-the-mill heat wave.

 * Delete We do not need a Wikipedia article on every time some weather records are broken. Lasting notability from local events not established. Reywas92Talk 21:27, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. A heat wave is not automatically notable just because you can list a bunch of record high temperatures — a heat wave has to have significant and sustained effects that generate ongoing coverage beyond just routine weather reports. Bearcat (talk) 12:52, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 *  Keep or merge - Keep or merge into List of heat waves. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:30, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Lack of adequate sourcing precludes moving text around. We do not merge inadequately sourced text to articles; we throw it out. -The Gnome (talk) 07:19, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
