Created by Tails Wx (talk). Self-nominated at 05:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/August 2023 Mid-South U.S. floods; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi Tails Wx (talk), review follows: article created 4 August and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the information cited; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing form the sources; hook facts are both stated in the article and check out to sources cited, preference probably for ALT0 as the more interesting; a QPQ has been carried out.

August 2023 Mid-South U.S. floods → August 2023 Southeastern United States floods – Mid-South isn’t a very helpful geographic term, also Missouri could arguably be considered the Southeast. 97.125.147.175 (talk) 22:56, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Missouri, Tennesee and Kentucky seem neither south nor eastern – especially since we're talking about the western part of Kentucky and the western part of Tennessee. Upland South, Central or mid-south seems like the best way to describe them. Note that the article about the Southeastern United States indicates that it is not clear whether they should be included there. But why is "South" capitalized here? Isn't that contrary to MOS:HYPHENCAPS? Move to August 2023 Mid-south United States floods, August 2023 Upland South United States floods or August 2023 Central United States floods. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:16, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Missouri is not in the Southern United States and is not in the Eastern United States, so it should basically not be considered to be in the Southeastern United States. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or August 2023 Upland South floods, since Wikipedia considers "Upland South" unambiguous. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:31, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per BarrelProof's reasoning, and August 2023 Mid-south United States floods would be best. Tails Wx (they/them) ⚧ 02:23, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No it wouldn’t, because absolutely no one is going to be able to find the title of with that weird keyword. Support August 2023 Upland South floods.173.23.45.183 (talk) 13:54, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
