Early March 2009 Nor'easter
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This was speedy deleted yesterday under WP:CSD, but I pointed out to the admin who did the speedy deletion that A7 doesn't apply to snowstorms. However, the article has now been recreated, and I do think that the storm in question is not notable. I live in the Washington D.C. area, and it is not unusual to get snow in early March here. While this snowstorm had slightly more snow than an average storm, it was no more distruptive than a typical snowstorm. I haven't heard anything about this storm being particularly disruptive or notable in any other region (compared to a typical snowstorm). Since the article didn't complete the AFD process, I don't think WP:CSD should apply, which is why I am nominating it here. Calathan (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- agreed that G4 doesn't apply, since the discussion didn't complete. (I'm the admin ref'd above, btw).--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete nothing that differentiates it from any other snowstorm (contrast last month's UK snowfall, which was the largest we've had in eighteen years) Sceptre (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - How is this snowstorm any different from other ones? (It seems like this one lasted a couple of days. The snowstorms we had last month were (a) the biggest one since 1991 and (b) with the exception of Wednesday, we had snow EVERY day that week.)

 * Delete We've had this thing happen nine times this year in Wisconsin...it's called a snowstorm. The only reason it got the attention it did yesterday in the media was it was on the East Coast, it was a slow news day, and it hadn't snowed like that in New York and Washington in awhile. Definitely not news.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Snow Delete Someone had to say it. Anyway, yeah, I can sort of see this being a little different since it was unusual for the southern states and late in the season and all, but at the end of the day, it was snow. Townlake (talk) 03:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. The article describes normal bad weather. If the subject were a hurricane, there would be more than merely news interest, but a common snowstorm is not of that magnitude. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
