Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heavy Snowfall of Late 2010 in the United Kingdom
with Winter of 2010–2011 in Europe. It does not matter whether or not it is news at this point. As it stands it is currently breaking records, and http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2010/1201/1224284487918.html fatalities have been recorded, albeit in the Republic of Ireland which has been affected by the same weather event as the UK. The point about whether or not is |news is irrelevant. This event started on the 24th November in the UK, earlier further east of Britain. At what point is it no longer news? We are nearly 2 full weeks into the event. Do we have to wait an undefined period into the future before we are aloud to inform people of it? The article, if deleted, would only end up being recreated, due to the fact that this event is record breaking. Why bother deleting in that case? That's just wasting time and effort on an article that will inevitably be kept/recreated. Simply tag the top of the article as something that is documenting current events and information may change. I have a feeling Mr Snottywong and other deletionists are not from the British Isles - a few feet of snow may not be noteworthy in the USA or Canada, but it certainly is in these parts
