List of floods in Bangladesh

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I was hesitant to nominate this page for deletion as I'm sure a good list of floods in Bangladesh could be created. However, I think that the current article has no useable content and there does not seem to be anyone currently interested in creating such a list. The article was previously proposed for deletion about a year ago. At the time, I saw that the article had no actual content, but instead just consisted of links to non-existent sections within the article. The article creator hadn't edited it in over a year and there were no other substantive edits. I nominated the article for speedy deletion as having no content, but User:DGG declined the speedy nomination and the prod. However, he had mistakenly thought the links in the article went to actual content, rather than being to non-existent sections of the article (see here). When I pointed out that it actually had no real content, DGG changed one of the links to go to an article on flooding in Bangladesh in 1999. However, I think that just made the article more confusing, as there is now one good link mixed in with over 100 links that look blue but go nowhere. I informed Wikiproject Bangladesh of this list here about a year ago, but my post got no replies and no one has edited the article since. As there are only two floods in Category:Floods in Bangladesh and not enough content at Floods in Bangladesh to split out into a separate list, I don't think this article could be made into anything useable until someone knowledgeable on the subject decides to do work on it. Since I don't think the content in the current version will be useful once someone does get around to creating such a list, and as keeping the article around would wrongly suggest we have a list of floods in Bangladesh when we really don't yet, I think the current article should just be deleted.

 * Speedy Delete Per criteria A3, as the article has no content besides links to non-existant sections. Yoenit (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Meets speedy criteria, nothing but links elsewhere. Two years was ample time to make it into something useful. GregorB (talk) 21:47, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Yoenit is right - this meets A3 and has had long enough.  Nole  lover  22:04, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems to be a useless and incomplete list, with no real content. – sampi ( talk • contrib • email ) 23:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy, per A3. The topic is important, and some day someone will take some time to write it. Right now, it's a blank page, and there is no point in keeping it. --Ragib (talk) 01:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
