'Propose for Deletion': This article is just a list of standard international responses, and is flag cruft. Its not notable and does provide any useful information about the event. Karun1234 (talk) 21:48, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - This article could be of use to people, but a separate article doesn't make since. ~BLM (talk) 23:34, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge Such information should be in one of the Katrina articles. 70.29.208.247 (talk) 05:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A well sourced article, and it is notable when the world comes together to aid victims of a calamity. I consider this one especially important; it's amazing how many Americans have the view that "We give foreign aid to people all over the world and nobody helps us when we need it". Mandsford (talk) 12:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete its just a list of standard responses, similiar in content to the International Response to the Poland crash. 124.176.26.4 (talk) 20:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A well-written article on this subject is indeed possible (although it needs a complete rewrite; preserving the citations while converting the list of statistics into encyclopedic prose). I'm not sure what "flagcruft" is supposed to mean: the article can have the same content without individual flags next to the points. ThemFromSpace 00:25, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This article has no relevance and does not provide any useful information about Hurricane Katrina. It could be merged in a summary to say "Many countries provided the US with support" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.200.195.128 (talk) 06:02, 22 April 2010 (UTC) — 123.200.195.128 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Keep, This subject has clearly been covered in depth by many sources. Qrsdogg (talk) 17:15, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, Its just flag waving nonsense, notable and without any citations. 124.176.26.4 (talk) 02:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- And, as you pointed out in your first delete vote, its just a list of standard responses, similiar in content to the International Response to the Poland crash. Is there anyone else who wants to delete this besides SPAs and IP addresses? Mandsford (talk) 13:24, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable and well-sourced, so no case for deletion. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Mandsford and Alzarian16 David V Houston (talk) 15:55, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
