Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/October 2013 Great Plains blizzard

Keep: Needs to be expanded, as the tornado outbreak, while small, spawned several significant tornadoes, including one violent one. In terms of relevance of the tornado event, an outbreak of similar magnitude, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Hattiesburg,_Mississippi_tornado, has it's own article. Ultimately, if this article were to be deleted, it would need to be because nothing is written about the tornado outbreak; if the tornado event section were expanded, it would document an event similar in magnitude to the Hattiesburg outbreak earlier in the year.

First of all, there is WP:OTHERSTUFF. Secondly, Hattiesburg was different, as it involved a violent tornado moving through a relatively large population center and caused significantly more damage and injuries. The tornadoes from this event affected a few small towns, but were otherwise limited to rural areas. So the tornado outbreak alone is not enough for an article. Though, I think that the tornadoes, the blizzard, and the flooding combined are potentially enough for an article. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:25, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
