February 1956 tornado outbreak

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This seems to be a hoax. All but one of the counties in the tables are fake, and most of the cities are also redlinks. The article is unreferenced, and there are no references to be found. The Tornado History Project doesn't show any tornadoes in either Kansas or Nebraska during February 1956. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:07, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I would suspect that all other contribs by this editor are, too. See Special:Contributions/HavalJamal12. • Freechild talk  03:13, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, the other article that editor started, June 1860 Mid-Mississippi Valley tornado outbreak, is a real event per the NOAA, though it's also unreferenced and some of the facts appear to be wrong. They also seem to be persistently adding Fujita scale ratings to tornadoes which happened before the scale came into use, though most of that has been reverted by now. I'm not sure what's going on with this user. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 07:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * His hoax articles are better than many "real" ones FWIW. If someone can flip this kid from the Dark Side he could be a benefit to Wikipedia.LoveUxoxo (talk)


 * Delete and infinitely block  for perpetrating this sneaky vandalism. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 05:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Hoax. If I knew that specific code for speedy deletion (Zed X-Ray Puppy Chow?) I'd suggest that too. Indefinitely block User:HavalJamal12 and his immediate family, the fine them 5 Drachmas. LoveUxoxo (talk) 06:58, 6 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Hoax. I also looked at both this and June 1860 Mid-Mississippi Valley tornado outbreak, and came to same conclusion as TheCatalyst31. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 10:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
