[edit] August 28 1101AMCDT NOAA Bulletin

Listed as speedy candidate by an anon for already being transwikid, which isn't a CSD. My vote is delete, unencyclopaedic, but if wikisource wants it it might be worth for someone to check if it's been transwiki-ed. --fvw* 05:25, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

  • Move to wikisource. Not encyclopedic, but still interesting. --Barista | a/k/a マイケル | T/C 06:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete/Transwiki per nom. --Alan Au 06:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Already at wikisource:August 28 2005 11:01 AM CDT NOAA Bulletin. —Cryptic (talk) 13:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Cryptic's link shows source text was already transwikied appropriately. Barno 22:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, the transwiki is enough. Note that being transwikied as a result of a VfD is a speedy criterion, but this was not VfD'd.-Splash 22:48, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, this information has no business on its own page. There is too little useful info and that info will soon be outdated. It's basically just posting one of the National Hurricane Center's advisories as its own article. --E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 03:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete maybe merge with another related article or trans to another wiki. Certainly notable, somewhere. CoolGuy 05:29, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Hurricane Katrina, and let it stay there after that page has settled down. It was a true mass meme, on the Internet and in mass media, but only for one day. It is notable (I mean that in the colloquial sense, not the Wikipedia sense) for being the most terrifying NOAA bulletin in history, but it only had currency for about 12 hours. If it belongs anywhere, it's in the Hurricane Katrina article as a footnote to history. MCB 05:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwikied already to wikisource:August_28_2005_11:01_AM_CDT_NOAA_Bulletin. This is a most unusual statement by NOAA, sounding almost like the The War of the Worlds broadcast, so it should be preserved. Merging into Katrina would be inappropriate, since the page has already had to be split due to its large size. Close nomination and state result as transwiki. --Titoxd 05:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Move to Wikisource.--Kross 13:56, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or rename. This will be a historic document that accompanied the mandatory evacuation in New Orleans and hence save tens (if not hundreds) thousands of lives. It's effect is hugh and something to write about. --Vsion 17:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or rename. Same reasons above. --CFIF 01:15, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't see how an article on this document is expandable. By all means, mention in Hurricane Katrina that the NOAA report's tone was unusual, and link to it on Wikisource, but a separate article about the document is analogous to having articles about press releases as well as the events they describe. See also Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources. —Cryptic (talk) 01:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
