Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/May 2016 North American storm complex


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Closing this as 'keep' as there are no arguments for deletion after the nominator withdrew their nomination. How the content of the article might be organised, whether by way of a merge or into a list, can be discussed elsewhere. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:24, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

May 2016 North American storm complex

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:LASTING. I realize it set a record, but are weather records really all that significant? A cursory search didn't reveal discussion of meteorologists, climatologists, or disaster management specialists continuing to show interest in this event. Daask (talk) 19:19, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator. Loosening up on WP:LASTING for a minute, I'm thinking about WP:IAR and reconsidering this on the basis of whether keeping this content is a net positive or net loss for Wikipedia as a whole. I'm inclined to think that it is a net benefit after all. I also don't trust my ability to find relevant sources on this subject area. I apologize for my rash proposal.

 * I don't know off the top of my head where this should go, but it should not be deleted from Wikipedia. It should be merged upward into another article. Noah Talk 13:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you content to keep the article as-is or should we merge it? If you are content to keep it, we could close this discussion with a Speedy keep. Daask (talk) 14:53, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

 * We are currently looking at all of the Wikipedia articles that involve the weather, in the hopes of combining them into one wikiproject and improving the content/driving standards up across the wiki. One of the ideas that has been proposed is to create a list of significant floods by country (State if needs for the US/Others). As a result of the disaster declarations, I see no reason why this so called storm complex wouldnt go into lists for Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.Jason Rees (talk) 12:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
