 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability not established. This flood didn't cause a widespread impact. It was only along the Mary River, which floods every couple of years, where flooding affected some people. There was no tornadoes and only minor flooding elsewhere. Shiftchange (talk) 23:12, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2013 March 6.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  23:32, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge with January 2013 Eastern Australia floods. Obviously the title of the merged article will need to change to cover the entire summer flood season.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:32, 9 March 2013 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge per Lankiveil. The floods were over a period of time covering both months and related. BerleT (talk) 03:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * In what way were they related? The flooding which occurred in February lasted a few days. It wasn't the same weather system.  They don't compare on area affected, cost of damage (by a significant order) of magnitude or by the type of damage.  There were no tornadoes neither did several regions have trees down all over the place.  It is hard to remember the February flooding of the Mary River or Sunshine Coast creeks in comparison to the January event.  I would support a listing on Floods in Australia, however it wouldn't be appropriate to merge it to the January event. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:04, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment: Still insufficient discussion to establish consensus, please address whether merging would be appropriate

 *  Redirect Merge to with Floods in Australia, no need to merge as it is already the information is not yet listed there. Agree that there insufficient notability for a standalone page. J04n(talk page) 10:27, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge with January 2013 Eastern Australia floods, and consider renaming to 2013 Eastern Australia floods.  The Blue Canoe  17:39, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That wouldn't be appropriate because that whole article is about the damage and floods which were due to an ex-tropical cyclone. There is no need to change the scope of that article to cater for another smaller event later in the season. - Shiftchange (talk) 01:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Even though I created the article, I believe a merge is needed here. Rhain1999 (talk) 07:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
