The result was   merge to Arkansas River. Consensus is merge and redirect to the river; that's its listed in fish Kills seems good, but shouldn't be the main place for these. As a separate article, it isn't notable.  DGG ( talk ) 03:56, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Mass death of freshwater drum in the Arkansas River

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails notability. This is a trivial news event of no lasting importance, and was probably inspired by the telephone game currently making its way around the Internet claiming that various mass animal deaths are "spooky". Even a year from now, nobody will care about this event, so an encyclopedia article is not needed. — Gavia immer (talk) 03:22, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I just added it to the table in Fish kill. It is extremely minor compared to other incidents that don't even have (or perhaps merit) articles. Mention in Fish kill article table ought to be good enough. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep for now. Since it occurred a week ago it is difficult to judge the long term impact. The toxicology report isn't even out yet. It has been reported in New York newspapers and on NPR. Unlike the nominator, I don't have a crystal ball to see the future. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Arkansas River. It is an important information, however, it is too recent for a stand alone article. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:13, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good idea. It's actually mentioned here. Maybe it could just be moved to the river article. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:26, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, the article about the river is a more suitable place for this unfortunate event. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:39, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Merge and redirect to relevant articles. If the toxicology reports become notable, then the article may be recreated. I originally create the article because I could not find its contents covered elsewhere here.Smallman12q (talk) 15:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: For what it's worth, if there's a consensus here to merge the material into the location article, I don't have any problem with that. I do have an issue with a separate article on the event. — Gavia immer (talk) 00:06, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I have already merged into fish kill and started bird kill for the recent bird death articles. They never seem to be more than a paragraph each, so lets have one big article listing the occurrences. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:11, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
