 * Keep This is clearly a subset of the global list. As heatwaves are becoming more common and India is especially hot, it may be reasonable to split them off.  In any case, that issue is not a reason to be deleting anything -- see WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Andrew D. (talk) 18:44, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as creator. The global list is organised according to date, and is not in tabular form, so the heatwaves specific to India are not easily found.  Further, this list includes several years for which there is no Wikipedia article and are not on the global list so it certainly does not duplicate the information there.

 * Keep It is easier to find the information per nation with separate list for nations instead of searching over the long list in the other article. Perhaps if that list was in columns where you could click and sort by nation, then this one would have no purpose.   D r e a m Focus  19:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

 * "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into sections. For example, a list of brand names would be far too long to be of value. If you have an interest in listing brand names, try to limit the scope in some way (by product category, by country, by date, etc.). This is best done by sectioning the general page under categories."
