Per WP:NOTNEWS - this blackout had no notable lasting effect such as the Northeast Blackout of 2003 did. –xeno^talk 00:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a point-of-order it was deleted as a prod (and the re-creation could be considered a "contesting of the prod"), so that doesn't really have too much relevance. –xeno^talk 00:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. One might hope that Toronto Hydro and Hydro One took steps to make their networks more reliable as a result of this blackout, but I cannot find documentation of this. One might also hope that people in Toronto learned to take precautions against a possible future blackout, but most people probably didn't. But it did affect a lot of people who worked or lived in the affected area. - Eastmain (talk • contribs • count) 02:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, it's WP:NOTNEWS for Wikipedia. The 2003 one was, however summer's over. ConCompS talk review 02:27, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This was a minor blackout--I live in Toronto and it was a nuisance, but hardly worthy of an article. The 2003 blackout on the other hand was significant and obviously goes beyond WP:NOTNEWS. freshacconci talktalk 03:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
