[edit] La Nina Droughts of 2005-06

No widespread news coverage of any such drought (we already have an article on the Horn of Africa crisis), partially original research. PROD tag was removed by original starter (and to date, only editor) of the article, when it was titled "Worldwide Drought of 2005-06", and had even more speculative statements. Are we really sure it was a La Nina-caused drought? Strong delete. NSLE _(T+C) at 00:53 UTC (2006-04-08)

• Strong delete. I live near one of the areas mentioned and we have not had a drought. This article is false.--Adam ^(talk) 00:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as false information. I would know, I watch The Weather Channel. Royboycrashfan 01:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• comment. We are currently experiencing a drought relating to La Nina - much of New Zealand is expected to have to start conserving power due to the low levels of this country's hydro-electric storage lakes (the lowest for about 15 years). Similar conditions hav also affected parts of Australia (mind you, some of Northern Territory's currently underwater). I doubt if the drought's widespread enough to be considered as a worldwide problem, but it's only partial nonsense, not complete bollocks this time. Grutness...wha? 05:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Might affect wine production? T K E 05:34, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• definitely in much of NZ's South Island wine areas (Canterbury, Marlborough, Central Otago), ut Australia's wine areas are in the southeast, which escaped the droughts. I don't see mention of wine in the article, though, so (pardon me but) it was a bit of an odd question. Grutness...wha? 00:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - It appears to have an image to back it up. Kilo-Lima|^(talk) 10:01, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - yes, an image of the US, showing just droughts in TX ad OK (that sparked the wildfires earlier this year). It doesn't say how it's La Nina-driven, nor notes that the Pacific Northwest is hardly experiencing drought conditions... NSLE _(T+C) at 10:08 UTC (2006-04-08)
• Strong Delete due to a drought of sources to back this information up. Yes, I said drought. Sethimothy 00:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete article appears to be false as per Adam. —-- That Guy, From That Show! ^(talk) 2006-04-09 06:03
• Keep and expand and fix- so this article needs some work but come on I reworded the title so it says La Nina droughts (with an "s" at the end to prove that this is not a single drought) and the sources are at the bottom of the article. Storm05 13:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
