Fails WP:LASTING, WP:INDEPTH, WP:EVENTCRIT - "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance."  // Timothy :: talk  07:25, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge, with Beijing. There are better sources available here, and here. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:09, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Reply: The article is about Europe, it mentions Beijing in the last sentence, but the source is about Europe, so there is nothing to merge. Someone can certainly add the above to the Beijing article, but again nothing here to merge.  // Timothy :: talk  16:27, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It's because the record winter temperatures in Beijing are notable, routinely high winter temperatures in Europe are not (per nom). SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:40, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Reply:: The article has been updated and based on sources found, it also includes South Korea's town Pahong reaching 24.9 C on February 21st. The previous known record of high winter temperature was 24.5 C.

 * Keep, given that this event set numerous heat records across two continents, I think it has a good chance of passing WP:10YT. Devonian Wombat (talk) 09:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
