- Delete - a non-notable tornado, tornadoes happen all the time, most of them are not on Wikipedia. Also the name of this article is rather odd. Usually named storms have much shorter names. But since this storm was so unimportant it was not a named storm. The Weather Channel writes articles all the time about every single weather event going on, that does not make them notable. They have a need to generate new content every day regardless of whether it is notable content or not. Thus there are no sources passing WP:GNG. Yetisyny ( talk) 08:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete This is obviously not the name of a tornado; it's the wording of a headline about a surprise tornado or storm. I see nothing (nor can I find it online) that makes this particular bit of weather notable, nor that the article title is a recognised term. Fails WP:GNG. Nick Moyes ( talk) 23:23, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Setting aside the title, this doesn't meet WP:EVENT. There are some sources ( [1], [2], [3]), but no lasting effects and no national or international significance. With four and a half years of hindsight it's clear that WP:PERSISTENCE applies: "Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article." – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 22:16, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:EVENT and WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Some of the weak sources that I found even mention this as a "possible tornado" meaning they are not sure that this can be even called a Tornado. in any case a non notable event. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 20:35, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
