[edit] British winter of 1946-1947

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The article adds nothing to its primary external source, which was easily substituted for it where appropriate in articles that link there. I don't think we want articles on every "notable" meteorological season in history. Tcatts 13:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I think we do - if appropriately referenced and construed encyclopedically. In any case, inline linking in this manner is not the preferred style. — Zanaq (?) 14:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral. More notability needs to be established rather than various records being broken. At the beginning it is mentioned in a post-World War 2 context. If that was expanded on and the authors proved why such a harsh winter affected England any more at that time than normal, I might change to keep. SliceNYC 16:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I found some references here that could be used in this article. The subject is interesting, and this enclyclopedia has plenty of space for it (unlimited actually). Here is a link to the 14 MSN hits. In them you should find several non-wikipedia clone articles about this. Also note, as this is older than the web, a better place to look would be in the public library. I am sure that sources exist, and this looks important to me. Remember that just becuase an article needs improved does not mean that it needs to be deleted, that is why we have {{cleanup}} tags and the like.—— Eagle (ask me for help) 19:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As google is not the repository of all knowledge. Lots of records were broken and the post-WWII angle is an interesting one. Vickser 22:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This was an exceptionally severe winter in UK and therefore notable. However this should not become an excuse for an article on every winter. Peterkingiron 22:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is one of the top handful of most famous events in British climate history. Piccadilly 14:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
