I really don't think we need a separate timeline for this fire - I can't find a single other wildfire on WIkipedia which has its own timeline article. The progression of this fire is described adequately in the main article, and having a separate page just for a timeline is unnecessary. In fact, the majority of timelines I can find on here are for long-lasting events, such as wars, and countries or cities with a significant history. harrz ^talk 22:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Merge with the main article. I think a timeline is important, especially for an event of this scale, but for consistency a merge would be best. -NorthropChicken (talk) 23:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Strong Keep This is my seventh timeline article, so I've some experience in the matter. The complex of events are of such magnitude that a stand-alone timeline is called for. The Palisades Fire is just one history-making strand; even just its first two days shall burgeon beyond the bounds of the article proper. kencf0618 (talk) 00:57, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

• Merge at least until a post-fire investigation really elucidates exactly what happened. Otherwise this is going to be a misinformation liability especially with the fire active and still mostly uncontained.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

• Merge too close to the event. If a timeline is desired, it should be on the wildfire page. Also, this fire is a part of a multitude of fires and I think a broader timeline of the wildfires would be more beneficial. Heart ^(talk) 04:19, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
