Lake Fire → Lake Fire (2015) – This is no longer the primary topic. I don't think there is a clear primary topic in this case, so disambiguating all articles is my preference. The current title could redirect to the yet-uncreated Lake Fire (disambiguation). PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke • inspect) 22:04, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a table for superficial comparison of the three fires:

Year	Acres burned	Injuries	Structures damaged or destroyed	Pageviews October–December
Lake Fire (2015)	31,359	6	4	287
Lake Fire (2020)	31,089	4	36 (not a typo)	300
Lake Fire (2024)	38,664	7	5	1130

The most recent fire has the most attention right now, but I would expect it to drop in years to come. Otherwise, the three fires have roughly similar long-term significance. I'll be going offline for the next few days, so I'll let the discussion play out without comment. Cheers, PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke • inspect) 22:04, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support - 2015 and 2020 were long enough ago so their pageviews have basically leveled out. 2015 is defo not a PRIMARYTOPIC, and neither is 2020/2024, so disambiguating them is a good idea. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 22:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
