Great Blue Hill eruption prank

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

trivial event, unless there's a lot more out there than it looks like. NT  DGG ( talk ) 01:59, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * As Google and GBooks searches of the string <"Great Blue Hill" erupt> show (see "find sources" link above), this prank did get considerable attention at the time, and it continues to show up in books and articles about notable Aprils Fools pranks. The prank is already mentioned at Great Blue Hill, and I am inclined to think that's good enough.  I might suggest a merge and redirect, but I am not sure if there's anything to merge that isn't already in the Great Blue Hill article, or that "Great Blue Hill eruption prank" is a likely search term. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Great Blue Hill, where it is already perfectly adequately covered, basically as a one-liner. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:25, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above, or delete. There doesn't appear to be enough here for an article. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:31, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep It's only mentioned there because I put it there. I am planning on expanding it in the future, and hopefully will do a Did you know hook out of it, since there is coverage to scrape by there. Regardless, I don't mind a merge for now, as I can easily re-create it in the future. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 15:15, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep – Passes Notability (events). The event has received significant coverage beyond the original news cycle and outside of the local area including . --Hirolovesswords (talk) 04:52, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Note – The article has been expanded a great deal since it was nominated for deletion --Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:13, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Possibly too local. Also, the best time for a DYK suggestion (April 1) has passed. —  Wylie pedia  16:05, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The plan is to do it next year, since I discovered it on April 1 of this year, just so you know. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 18:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
