Library damage resulting from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake

Library damage resulting from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Mainly to see what people here think and because Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information, but see further comments below. Carcharoth 00:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I'm nominating this to generate further discussion, as I feel that the article in its present form violates the concept that Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There is some notable stuff in here, but after the non-notable stuff has been weeded out, what is left could be put somewhere like 2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake#Other_effects, or a new section created on the cultural impact of the disaster.

• Article history - I have notified the creator here. Please also note the creator's contributions (from 2-6 November 2006: a draft of this article, a US Department of Defense photo, and moving the draft article into the main article space and a few more edits there). The draft article is at User:Elesemichelle/New sub page. Carcharoth 00:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I wouldn't consider this indiscriminate, though I think it might be good to add a section in the opening that establishes the significance of the article. —ShadowHalo 01:34, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and comment - Damage from a hurricane is notable, and the article seems properly sourced. I think the only qualms I have is that the article may be too specific, but the sheer amount of information warrants this topic to have its own article.--Ķĩřβȳ♥ŤįɱéØ 03:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Damage from a hurricane? :-) You mean a tsunami don't you? Carcharoth 04:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. For an event like this, I really believe we need many subarticles to cover it. The tsunami had a gigantic effect on many aspects of life. In the big picture, library damage may seem like peanuts compared to other effects of the disaster, but I wouldn't go as far to say it is an indiscriminate collection of information. If anything, we need more articles about the tsunami. --- RockMFR 04:56, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep can't believe we have this, can't believe I'm saying keep it, but it is well-referenced and demonstrates some notability, particularly in saying a famous library in Aceh was destroyed and its valuable collection lost. Just create a Ancient library damage in Pompeii to avoid recentism. ;) CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 05:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - purest cruft, WP not an indiscriminate collection of info. Just because it's true doesn't mean there should be an article on it. Moreschi 18:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
