Both the floods in South Kivu and the floods in western Rwanda are near Lake Kivu, so due to both events being extremely close to each other in both location and time, I think this page should be merged into an article titled 2023 East Africa floods Quake1234 ( talk) 16:34, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
The result was: rejected by

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2023 Africa floods; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Overall: @ Tails Wx and Sherenk1: Saw this in the queue so I thought I'd give you a review. Article looks all good, I believe the "when?" tag can be overlooked as there is no date mentioned in the source. Could you bear to shorten the hook slightly? My suggestion is ... that after the 2023 Africa floods, relief efforts to help victims of the flooding disaster were disrupted by continuous heavy rainfall? I think it sounds a bit snappier.

I'm going to exercise my best judgement here and suggest that this nomination needs another review, due to the split. This is nomination is quite the mess and does not even point to the correct article any more! @ Tails Wx, Sherenk1, and Blaylockjam10: ping now involved users.

Yesterday, a merger of the pages 2023 Rwanda and Uganda floods and 2023 Africa floods was actioned. This merge was actioned at 17:27 UTC, less than one hour after the discussion was started. In the mean time, only one !vote had been given, with no rationale. No courtesy pings were given to the editors of the article or people involved in the DYK nomination (myself). I do not see this as a fair merge, let alone a sign of consensus.
In terms of content, this article is largely based on the Rwanda and Uganda floods article, as seen by this (rather janky) Earwig's comparison. My view is that there is coverage of the Rwanda floods individually, so an individual article is justified. I think both articles can coexist, as this is more of a "summary" article. A hatnote would suffice to provide a link to the Rwanda and Uganda floods article. In short, I am leaning towards thinking the merge should be reversed. The merge was obviously rushed and gave no time for discussion. I hope we can find consensus on this issue.

I propose re-splitting the floods from May 2023 out of this article into a stand-alone article titled (1) May 2023 East Africa floods, (2) May 2023 Africa floods, or (3) 2023 Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda floods. This was previously named 2023 Rwanda and Uganda floods, which was renamed to the 2023 East Africa floods. This was then merged into this article without much discussion. Majority of deaths documented in this parent article are from Cyclone Freddy. Splitting the article for floods in Rwanda, Uganda, and DR Congo would be best as it would clearly pass WP:GNG (as it did pre-extremely fast bold merge). Elijahandskip ( talk) 18:45, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
