Synthesis

Why is this season really singled out? Secondary sources should be shown that compare it to other seasons, to establish notability. Particularly notable events like the Kornati deaths could get their own article anyway. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

IIRC, 2007 was a year of particularly severe forest fires in Europe. 159,000 hectares in Croatia sounds rather bad. (No ref on that though, and no comparison to other years, as duly noted.) I still feel the article meets the threshold, but needs to be clearer in explaining the significance of events apart from the Kornat incident. GregorB (talk) 15:23, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

==November 2012== Meets all six WP:BCLASS criteria. While the article "reasonably covers the topic", and thus meets the B2 criterion, this is its weakest department, and the one that would require major improvement in order to elevate it to GA-Class. The so-called "Kornati tragedy" (or "Kornat tragedy"?) is the deadliest disaster in the history of Croatian firefighting, and would definitely warrant a substantial article of its own (c.f. Mann Gulch fire). Yet, the event was: 1) given just a brief (if informative) description in one of the sections, 2) unreferenced (before I added some refs), and 3) not mentioned in the intro, despite being more important than everything else put together. This is what future work on this article needs to address first. GregorB (talk) 21:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC) ==April 2015== Downgraded to C for coverage and accuracy. The article puts forward the NATO bomb conspiracy theory, ignoring the official investigation completely. GregorB (talk) 15:16, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
