- List of victims of the 1913 Great Lakes storm (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Mourning the dead is not something that Wikipedia should make a spectacle of. This list has little to no value in an encyclopedia and per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of victims of the Virginia Tech massacre (4th nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of victims of the Columbine High School massacre (2nd nomination), people tend to agree. Let the dead rest in peace. Axem Titanium (talk) 05:42, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There is a slightly POINTy feel to this nomination as this list was mentioned in another AFD. - Mgm|(talk) 12:16, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge links and sources and redirect (for attribution) to Great Lakes Storm of 1913. While the names themselves belong to non-notable people and the list is basically OR (there's not even any certainty all the people listed are dead. Having the information available is useful in the article on the storm. I therefore support merging the references, external links and further readings provided in this article. - Mgm|(talk) 11:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, though preserve any overall summary information. WP:NOTMEMORIAL Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:30, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If we preserve anything, we can't delete the history. We need the history to give proper attribution as required by the GFDL. - Mgm|(talk) 21:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
