Comment: to List of heat waves#2010–present. However, reading the discussion here and the article itself, it actually looks like there's solid  for deletion (i.e., we don't ).

Meets  as it has set temperature records in many locations and has caused a significant amount of deaths ''according to reliable sources'' along with tens of thousands of power outages and allowing the formation of wildfires. Arguments for deletion have little basis in policy and seem to just be  and strawman negative  repeated for paragraphs on end
