– These pages were created last year and this year and are incorrectly titled as a season. They are global in nature and last the entirety of the year. As a result of their length and broad scope, they should be titled similarly to Tropical cyclones in 2021 and Tornadoes of 2021. Noah^Talk 13:14, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Per the nominator. Since these articles all refer to global wildfires as a whole, rather than wildfires in a specific region, the term "season" isn't really applicable here, given the different climatological norms across the planet (especially when you look at the Northern Hemisphere vs. the Southern Hemisphere). This is close to Tropical cyclones in 2021 and Tornadoes of 2021, in terms of scope. As such, these articles should be renamed accordingly. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 17:07, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
