It looks like this update has been made. —ADavidB 06:15, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would think that there should be a standalone article devoted to the flooding in eastern Kentucky. Because scores of people died and it’s been almost two years and the floods still get mentioned on the news. It’s definitely notable and it is DEFINITELY an event that has (and will continue to have) a lasting impact for years to come. 108.147.10.55 (talk) 20:26, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Eastern Kentucky?
There needs to be a standalone article on the floods in Eastern Kentucky on July 27-28, 2022. It DEFINITELY meets WP:LASTING as the local news media continues to mention the floods even almost two years later. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 23:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone share their thoughts on this? At the very least, shouldn’t the EKY flood section be expanded? Or should there be a full article devoted to Eastern Kentucky? Because over 40 people died , millions of dollars in damage was done, and I know for a fact that people will be talking about this for years, I happen to also know that WYMT-TV had a special segment last July to mark the one year anniversary of the floods. So it definitely meets WP:LASTING if it’s still being talked about a year, two years later. And the floods killed twice as many people as the floods in West Virginia back in 2016 did (and the 2016 flood still occasionally gets mentioned on local news and it’s been nearly eight years.)
And also as a side note; I am also the IP editor behind 108.147.10.55, and I made that comment about two months before registering. (As I eluded to in my edit summary, I had previously made the comment immediately above this as an IP address too, but it was a different IP, and I re-attributed it to my username).
Yea, that's the tricky part of dealing with broader flood articles like this, and their scope. Personally, I think there should be yearly articles like Floods in 2022, which would be a parallel to Tropical cyclones in 2022. Or perhaps even Floods in the United States (2022), splitting up the currently-existing Floods in the United States (2000–present) into ones for each year. That way, individual significant events would have articles, as WestVirginiaWX (talk·contribs), without removing other valid content. I'm not sure the best approach for this article, as there are several options, but I don't think it should stay as it is. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:04, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you on that, and I was honestly going to probably bring that up too (and probably will on the WP:WEATHER talk page.) I think there should be yearly flood articles. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 00:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
