February 2019 North American winter storm: greyzxq talk 16:58, 29 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Events-related deletion discussions .  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge into 2018–19 North American winter#Mid-February storm complex Per non.  Indeed does not seem to be notable.  108.58.27.76 ( talk ) 13:44, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per nom.  Also delete January–February 2019 North American cold wave and January 2019 North American winter storm (category 1, the lowest on the Regional Snowfall Index ).  Very little, if anything, worth merging.  Clarityfiend ( talk ) 14:44, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] We should not delete the cold wave article, because (1) it brought the coldest temperature to Illinois in state history, (2) it has over 110 references, (3) it caused 22 deaths and nearly a billion dollars in damage, and (4) it brought a nearly unprecedented cold wave to places in Montana.  I agree January 2019’s winter storm article should go, however.  107.77.223.214 ( talk ) 16:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:BEFORE .  Media (local and national) obsessed that year over school closings and the political optics; it became one of the two or three major issues in that fall's local elections and even into 2021 (ask Mayor Garcia how she feels).  I remember having to dress in multiple layers of clothing, and commuting an hour as a teacher, only for DiBlasio to flip-flop.  See, e.g. , [19] .  Few nominations have been done with so little reason.  Bearian ( talk ) 14:18, 5 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Bruh that CNN article is from five years before the snowstorm happened.  Also, such evidence of coverage has not been provided.  Also, the storm only produced around an inch of snow in NYC.  I think you got this confused with February 2014 nor'easter .  69.118.237.29 ( talk ) 23:21, 5 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep – while the winter storm doesn't have a lasting effect , it does have in-depth coverage of the winter storm.  Numerous sources cover this, including CNN , ABC7 Chicago , ABC News , Boston Globe , CBS News , and others.  Even though the winter storm dropped just one inch of snow in New York City, snow fell in the Western United States, breaking records and falling in unusual places for the first time, including snow for the first time at a national park in Hawaii , Seattle broke the city's snowfall record, and prompting a state of emergency for the state Washington .  I'd also agree that BEFORE is also a factor in this as well.  These sources can also be helpful in improving the article and reflecting on the effects of the storm, especially the Western United States and Hawaii, and maybe even adding sources for the unsourced sentences.  And, if y'all want to start deletion discussions for the articles January–February 2019 North American cold wave and January 2019 North American winter storm , you can do so on a separate deletion discussion page!  Tails Wx 00:22, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep : Passes WP:GNG .  Five unique secondary reliable sources (plus more listed by Tails Wx above).  Article is a start class, so we aren’t looking at a stub-insta merge style situation.  At this exact moment, I’m not entirely opposed to a merge since a merge into 2018–19 North American winter wouldn’t be a bad idea either.  If an editor was willing to add more references and do some slight expansion to the article (maybe a low-C class article), this should be considered a strong keep then.  My weak keep is strictly based on it passing notability requirements, but if others are considering a merge (assuming no expansion occurs) then I’m not opposed to it either.  Elijahandskip ( talk ) 01:29, 6 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It fails WP:NOPAGE IMO, by not significantly expanding on the section above.  That’s grounds for merging.  It also needs a lot of citations, if anyone feels like improving.  69.118.237.29 ( talk ) 23:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

PaulGamerBoy360 ( talk ) 18:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep .  February of 2019 had several storms in North America such as the wind storm in Albany , floods in California , "snowmageddon" in Oregon , and the snow storm in Hawaii that have lasting coverage.  I think if this article were expanded to include the other storms (rather than just the one from Feb 11-13 in the Northeast) then the article can meet notability.  Otherwise, it's just one of many storms in the month of February that could be covered in the larger article.
