2016 American Northeast heat wave

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is just ordinary summer weather, with anecdotal sources from a single day. Zero notability. — JFG talk 08:39, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable. According to this article, no records were broken. Newslinger (talk) 10:29, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The article lacks the scope and sourcing to demonstrate that this is a notable event and nothing else turns up in a Google search. Alansohn (talk) 17:19, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete on account of subject lacking verifiable notability. Where are the sources? At some point we should be able to distinguish serious reporting from the summer silly season. -The Gnome (talk) 17:42, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete We do not need a Wikipedia article on every time some weather records are broken. Lasting notability from local events not established. Reywas92Talk 21:28, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 *  Keep or merge - Keep or merge into List of heat waves. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:31, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing that really surpasses an ordinary heat wave in the current sourcing (even less than similar deleted articles). Breaking a few records isn't the bar that will satisfy GNG on this subject. You generally need a severe heat wave that causes widespread blackouts, death (beyond a handful of people already vulnerable to heat exposure), etc. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:04, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
