  • Redirect to appropriate page on larger ice storm. – Chacor 23:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I'd support a Rename of this article, as it only focuses on California - and California wasn't the only state hit by a nasty cold snap. --Dennisthe2 00:22, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I learned a lot reading this article, and how can you consider it not notable? Tyronen 01:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep 1 billion dollars of citrus damage is pretty significant. Snow in So Cal is pretty significant. It needs a bit of expansion, but the event is still occuring, so it will evolve. 69.236.24.132 02:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Thusly my suggestion for a rename. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dennisthe2 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC).
      • ...hooboy, that bot wasted NO time! --Dennisthe2 03:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I was specifically searching for a page on this subject and was impressed to find it - then amazed to see it was up for deletion! KazakhPol in West of US and A, not living, obviouslyness... --Oscar Bravo 14:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
    • What? I did not understand that at all... KazakhPol 18:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
      • KazakhPol is not living in the western U.S., obviously, is what he said. As far as I know, it's a Borat reference, so to speak. bob rulz
  • Keep and Rename - One of the biggest cold snaps in many years. It could use a rename, however; Western U.S. cold wave of January 2007? Or January 2007 western U.S. cold wave? bob rulz 02:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
    • It is irritating that it would even be considered for deletion. We have an article on every single tropical system that ever existed, even ones that never affected lands, and were extremely minor, but we cannot have an article on a cold snap that caused snow in LA, and $1 billion dollars in crop damage. Give me a break!69.232.32.81 03:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Snow in Southern California is very rare and therefore noticable. Plus, the fact that a state of emergency had been declared due to crop failure also is notable. guitarhero777777 05:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Somebody help me. When was the last time snow fell on 30th parallel on sea level since the ice age ( in recorded history)??! Mbralchenko 17:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • There are so many keeps and renames that I see a clear consensus. Weather1019 05:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Almost. Clearly it's a keep, but now we need to decide - keep as is, or rename to something else? WP:SNOW doesn't yet apply, as far as I can tell. --Dennisthe2 19:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Rename, current title is not the best title where the article belongs. -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 17:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The impact of this weather event was far-reaching. --Czj 21:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
