Keep Definitely a well-covered and much-referenced thing [1]. Looking through the connected articles, Lightning#Lightning leaders goes into some detail, but with specific reference to lightning only. The phenomenon is more general and would benefit from standalone treatment, with generous links to special cases - which is what the article already does. Keep and add some of the readily available sources. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:57, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Complete failure of WP:BEFORE. Yet another case of assuming unsourced means unsourceable. In depth sources are easily found, this book spends several pages introducing the topic [2] and later devotes a whole chapter to it [3]. Other book sources with in-depth coverage include [4][5][6]. As for "part of a larger topic", I've never heard such an inane rationale for deletion. Everything is part of a larger topic. Shall we reduce the whole encyclopaedia to just one page?

Keep per Elmidae and Spinningspark. I might suggest a move to Leader (electricity), but that's not for this discussion. —⁠烏⁠Γ ^(kaw) │ 00:09, 09 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
