Great Yarmouth explosion

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Event with limited coverage. Old bomb found, people leave the area, bomb exploded, people return. No injuries, no property damage. Oaktree b (talk) 03:09, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment events like this always sort-of meet notability on a technical basis: there will be immediate news coverage, and Yarmouth being a seaside resort of some size will has guide-books and histories written about it, future versions of which will inevitably mention the incident, providing some sustained coverage, though maybe with limited depth. But the nominator is right; this isn't a major event. I don't think it needs an article of its own. It might be worth a mention in the main article on Yarmouth??

 * Delete Events like this should meet WP:NEVENT and as a local event with little lasting significance, this one does not. It has a brief mention in World War II bomb disposal in Europe and that should be sufficient for Wikipedia's purposes. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to World War II bomb disposal in Europe where it is mentioned. While it is not notable enough to be kept, there is some notability so it should not be deleted either. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 18:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to World War II bomb disposal in Europe. WP:NOTNEWS applies. Mztourist (talk) 04:47, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to World War II bomb disposal in Europe - not news, highly unnotable. greyzxq  talk 22:20, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
