I'm not certain this topic merits a page of its own. I could see Response to natural disasters being a suitable subject, but what we have here is not much more than a statement of the obvious with a few stats thrown in. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:14, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - posthate. No real content, a "no, really?" first line and a second paragraph that smells strongly to me of WP:SOAP. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:23, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I've worked with Guerillero a lot, SOAP is not his style. I'm not sure what the story with this is; as it stands it isn't much of an article, however being from a place where natural disasters strike, I can say that there is a viable article with this name, just not this article in this form.

- It was a project I worked on for a day and lost interest. I was, at the time, trying to plug many of the holes wikipedia has in the topic of homelessness. The topic is notable. It is a major cause of homelessness worldwide. After every disaster you hear about the number of people left homeless. I will also admit the the article is shit. I think I put only a few minutes into it. I would userfy it myself but I doubt that I will feel the urge to turn it into a real stub. --Guerillero | My Talk 13:44, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- While the subject may have a stand alone notability, eventually, in the current state I suggest merge to Homelessness. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:36, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This is really a one-fact article. That fact should be included in Homelessness and Natural disaster. It doesn't need its own article. Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I merged the two articles together. --Guerillero | My Talk 19:56, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural close needed (creator merged the article as suggested, nothing left to discuss). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 15:09, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
