San Tan Fire of 2006
Not notable. I checked to see if this had made the news (Outside of San Tan), and it has now(Typo- has NOT). Therefore, it is not notable enough to warrent its own page. Gekedo 23:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC) This listing was incomplete. Yomangani 00:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - The statement that "I checked to see if this had made the news (Outside of San Tan), and it has now." doesn't justify deletion.  If the event has been reported on in the national news media, this would suggest notability, not non-notability. John254 01:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per John. Delete, because it hasn't made any headlines. I didn't realize that was a typo at first. -- Bp28 02:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I'm tempted to think that the nom's sentence has a typo, and s/he meant to say "I checked to see if this had made the news, and it has not." Maybe I'm wrong in reading it that way, but I could only find one news reference on Google, and that's only a local news channel's report. -- H·G (words/works) 02:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * East Valley Tribune: Fire breaks out at SRP power plant in Gilbert
 * The Arizona Republic: Gilbert Power Plant Burns
 * Arizona Republic: Fire burning inside the San Tan Power Plant in Gilbert is now under control
 * Merge into the article on the plant if we have one, it was not an event of national or lasting significance.--Peta 03:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: It was regionally significant, but it doesn't appear to have had national import or to have created long term effects that will require historical explanation.  Geogre 04:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-noteworthy event per Google News and other media searches. The sentence in the nomination was probably a typo. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 05:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete wikipedia is not here to document everything that happens in your local town. Hell our local (and only) pub burnt down - do you think I made an article on that? Viridae Talk 08:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete While yes, it has been documented, the only reason it's even of local interest is that people wondered what the black smoke on the horizon is. One  of many transformers blew, the plant continued to function normally, no power was lost anywhere.  We have no article for the plant (or all but one of its ten or so sisters in the area).  Non Notable to the core.


 * Comment Hem...put 'has now' down to a typo on my part. At the time, I was intending to type 'has not' --Gekedo 12:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete... no enduring encyclopedic importance. WP:NOT a list of every single explosion in every single town. -- Kinu t /c  14:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Even with newspaper sources, all fires are not automatically notable. wikipediatrix 17:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 18:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am from nearby Chandler. I saw the smoke, but KSAZ-TV gave me the news first. -TrackerTV 19:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
