Ashfall warning

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is likely a hoax, since the "example" given talks about a nonexistent eruption of Mount Rainer in 2021. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 18:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - this doesn't seem like a hoax, and is mentioned by the US National Weather Service (NWS) (though very briefly). It's not the same thing as an Ashfall advisory, which is actually mentioned in the NWS' list of Weather Watches, Warnings and Advisories. Most weather conditions have an advisory, watch, and warning, but for the ashfall condition there is only an advisory. If there were more detail on the warning (and watch) from the NWS, it would likely be more notable and better covered in this case. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:29, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Doesn't belong in the mainspace. Per WP:NOTNEWS, Wikipedia is also not a newswire service. KidAd  •  SPEAK  18:33, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I was considering draftifying it, but after taking a closer look, it looks more like a volcano enthusiast's fantasy. The example on the article is clearly written up by the creator as Mount Rainier is misspelled as Mount Rainer. Delete per nom, probably eligible for speedy deletion as a hoax.

 * Comment Please note that the creator of this article has also created Beach hazards statement, High surf warning, High surf watch, and Blowing dust warning. I really think this needs admin attention. KidAd  •  SPEAK  18:42, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I think they created those articles based off of Ashfall advisory, which was created in 2019 by another user. Granted, that article has a source. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:57, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems like spam to me. The "lede" of Beach hazards statement is directly ripped from a NWS pdf on the subject, found here. Speaks to my point that Wikipedia is not a newswire service. KidAd  •  SPEAK  19:11, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Didn't realize that it was directly copied from elsewhere, and never disagreed with you, just stating what it looked like to me. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 19:13, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No disagreement from me either. Just trying to say that this page is a part of a larger pattern of non-constructive editing behavior. KidAd  •  SPEAK  19:17, 11 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete: per CSD G5. –– FormalDude  talk  17:38, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as hoax. --Lockley (talk) 17:57, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete not on, presumably a hoax. User:力 (power~enwiki, π ,  ν ) 03:37, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
