[edit] Is this seperate article needed?

As I said in my merger edit, while I find this article interesting, does it need to be seperate from the International response to Hurricane Katrina article. As it is, we are getting way too many articles for tihs one storm, and it seems that these 4 paragraphs would do better in contex with the rest of the world.

It needs to be separated for the same reasons Operation Flaming Dart, Operation Starlite and Operation Hastings are separated from Vietnam War. Remember that Wikipedia is also for "the rest of the world", not just the United States. We need to stay focused on countering the systemic bias in Wikipedia, and also keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopaedia. --Tsaddik Dervish 16:50, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I will admit this, when I made that proposal, I was not aware that there were about 4 other similar [insert nation]'s response to Katrina's out there, so this was not an attack on Russia or such. I do continue to believe that we are evolving out too many articles about this storm, as horrible as it was. I will stand off and watch for now. Donovan Ravenhull 10:53, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
