stub, not wikified, not written in the style of a Wikipedia article, not linked by any normal Wikipedia article, Three Years of Natural Disasters covers this topic better, Famine in Northern China seems to be a too generic name for becoming a redirect to Three Years of Natural Disasters Deleteme42 22:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as dup of proper article. Also agree that redirect won't work. hateless 03:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Given that the date ranges don't overlap, I don't see how these are duplicate articles unless the dates are in error. As the famine supposedly resulted in 20 million deaths it clearly seems notable. Stub/Wikify/Style issues are reason for cleanup and expansion, not deletion. — RJH (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Delete — The date range seems to be an unsourced error, repeated several times about the net without checking. If there was a famine 1969-1971, it's not well sourced. Maybe in the future there will be open records and the article can be created again. — RJH (talk) 19:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
