Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Borjomi wildfire
Wikipedia is not a news archive, per #NEWS. Also, these two articles are confusing. The one on the park says "The total area of the park is 5, 3 thousand square kilometers"(sic) so I can't tell how much of it the fire affected. The reference cited from Conservation International, dated August 27 says "fires inside the national park were relatively small and have been contained" and that "the damage in and around the park was limited to about 10 hectares" but that 300 hectare (741 acres) had been damaged  outside the park. This is not a lot of land, compared to other wildfires which have been in the news, such as List of wildfires. I cannot see how this wildfire would make it onto the list of notable wildfires. The smallest fires there are still well over 1000 acres and are there only because of large loss of life. Even the larger 950 hectare (2300 acre) claim by the government of Georgia would not make the list of notable wildfires, unless there were special factors such as loss of life. The fire's only claim to fame comes from accusations that it was deliberately set via Russian helicopters, or that somehow this forest is more important than other forests/parks in the world
