In its current state, the cold wave article gives WP:UNDUE weight to Greece, (since the cold wave also impacted Turkey, Cyprus, Israel and other countries) and does not sufficiently describe the cold wave itself, rather talking more about the snowstorm, which is not directly caused by the cold wave, but by a mixture of frontal and convective precipitation collectively known as Storm Elpis.

• 15:23, 1 February 2022 (UTC) Hi there , the article above that i created belongs to Historical cold waves 2022 . I dont think is historical to see snow in a mountainious region like Turkey or in Jerusalem at 800 meters altitude..seems to be someting very common the winter months... but for Greece south is extraordinary. I dont want to open fight against Turkey but if you think storm Elpis had huge weather impact in terms of Historical why dont you write your own article ? I wouldn't aggree with the total merge of my article with storm Elpis article , this could have it removed from the Historical cold waves of January 2022 page ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pun89 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  Comment, while I'm having a bit of trouble understanding you, if I got it right, you're making a WP:GNG argument. I am not arguing that the cold wave would never deserve its own article, but simply that in its current state, your article is not easily differentiated from this one in terms of content, scope or end-goal.

  And also mind you, the cold was historic for certain regions of Turkey and the Levant as well, and while you'd be right that, for example, in Istanbul -9.1C isn't unprecedented at all (even though it still breaks a daily record), snow in Antalya (a city warmer than all of mainland Greece) definitely is.

• Strong Draftity and Scope Change - I believe the January 2022 Greek cold wave should be draftified and have the overall scope changed. 12 Hypothermia deaths just occurred in Turkey, so the cold wave is still in effect, it just isn't only Greece. Maybe change the scope and title to be "Southeastern Europe cold wave" and I know that would be notable. Storm Elpis and the new hypothermia deaths qualify for the Weather of 2022 timeline, so notability (in general) is there. Would you be ok with that @Pun89:?

  Yes , it's true for Antalya , southern Turkey ,right ?Ok ok you want to merge the "greek cold wave january 2022" to "South Eastern mediterranean cold wave January 2022" ? Permission granted and sorry for the trouble .

  • @Elijahandskip: Is there any source to associate the new hypothermia deaths with storm Elpis? Are they part of the same weather event? --C messier (talk) 17:24, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

No, because they aren't from Storm Elpis. So here is the basic idea. Storm Eplis is a singular storm, nothing more, nothing less. During/after Storm Eplis, a cold wave continued to remain in the aftermath of Elpis. The hypothermia deaths aren't from Elpis, however, they are from the cold wave that followed after the storm. That is why I am arguing for a scope change, not for the merge, but on the cold wave article. As stated in the initial merge proposal, the cold wave affected more than Greece. So if the scope is changed to include all of the countries affected by the cold wave, then a merge is not needed. This is a similar situation to the February 2021 North American cold wave. The cold wave is different from the two winter storms that occurred. Same situation here; the cold wave is different from Storm Elpis. Elijahandskip (talk) 17:32, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I agree these should be the same article, the cold wave was the storm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TurnipCream (talk • contribs) 13:38, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

If you merge the article to Storm Elpis , the original one will be disappeared ? if yes we have a tiny problem ... if not we are ok .

The article cold wave in the '21st century cold waves of 2022' section must include an article talking about the impact of the cold wave Elpis in January in Greece !!! This is very important for many greek amateur meteorologists who love study weather events ! Pun89 (talk) 18:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Also ,that event had a great impact in the country's capital because it was a very rare phenomenon and it cannot belong anywhere else but in the 21st century cold waves of 2022 section . Pun89 (talk) 18:27, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Missing information for Grecce

More information needs to be added for Greece, regarding impacts from Storm Elpis. TropicalCyclone101 (talk) 19:55, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
