@Schwede66: -- Trying to follow this update and see why the article was deleted. Please can you help me with any additional details? Was it sent to AfD etc? Seems like the article was in good standing when I submitted. Please can you help check? Thanks. Ktin (talk) 14:40, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Blablubbs and Materialscientist: - I think this article has been deleted as a part of a mass deletion effort to remedy a particular SPI's creations. Please can you help restore this article? I had re-written this article from scratch and as such I believe this article should not be deleted. Appreciate your assistance. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 14:59, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If the article does get restored, the DYK review will be done. Fingers crossed. Schwede 66 15:37, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktin: I would recommend asking Materialscientist to overturn the deletion given your substantial contributions; as far as I know, they have pings disabled, so you may need to reach out on their talk page. --Blablubbs (talk) 15:52, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you everyone. The article is now restored. @Schwede66: over to you at your convenience. Have a nice day everyone. Ktin (talk) 16:35, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktin: This article has had an interesting start in life! It is new enough, as a fivefold expansion, and long enough. The article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. The hook fact is cited to the Guardian obituary, "... the floods of July 2021 – in which more than 200 died – in Belgium and Germany were made significantly more probable by global heating." whereas your hook states "proving that 2021 European floods across Germany and Belgium were linked to climate change", which is not the same thing.
