List of countries receiving snowfall
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT; snow falls in lots of countries, that doesn't mean a list of those countries is encyclopedic. What next, List of countries receiving rainfall? Was nominated once before in 2005, but AFD standards were lower then and many of the "keep" comments were "it's interesting", or worse. Masaruemoto 03:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:IINFO, totally pointless list. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 04:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This list is just slightly shorter than List of countries receiving sunshine. DCEdwards1966 04:15, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The map and photos are pretty cool, please be sure to move them to snow if the result is delete. Wl219 04:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I dunno... I'm a deletion dog, and this one is close. It is associated with the Snow article, as suggested for lists. On the other hand, there are no references. If every listing was referenced I think I'd Keep it. It's a lot better than the typical "Video Game Bimbo's Who Show Their Coochie" lists that show up here. MarkBul 05:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete is this a joke?-- Sef rin gle Talk 05:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - really pointless. Cs1987 05:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Snow Delete. Arbitrary cutoff altitude and even hot countries once in a long while get snow. Clarityfiend 07:12, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not serve as a means of navigation, could not be a (useful) category and is largely unreferenced original research. Pedro | Chat  07:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

The list is very professional and rich of useful information about rare and unique snowfalls made by the best world expert in this category. Forsure Wikipedia will loose if the list is deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.9.146.173 (talk) 10:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC) --- The list contains very interesting information (thanks to me too :-))), maybe it was the way how it was created that is questionable. Maybe the title should be changed and the content reorganized. Rare snowfall information should be kept maybe in a list Snow by countries and a list of countries where snow has never been reported on their territories may be more interesting. I have already made a list of countries where frost has never occurred, if you give me time I will create the one of countries where snow has never been reported. Anyway, you can do it easily just by picking up the countries which are not in this list ! Clarityfiend is clearly ignorant in this field, since there are DOZENS of countries where a single flake of snow has NEVER been reported.

 * Melt Seems incredibly pointless. A list of countries never to receive snowfall would be interesting... Pursey 12:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete —  Is way to general because it snows in way to many places, but it's an ok list. Yamaka122 ... :)   13:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I was originally going to vote delete, but this has been up for AfD before with the decision to keep. I see no reason why we should decide differently this time around, even if it does go against my own "beliefs". User: (talk • contribs • count) 14:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The article, as titled, sounds like a rather indiscriminate list. On the other hand, it would be useful to have a list of average snowfall and mention of where it falls in each country.  I don't know if we already have such an article, but a reorganization of this list would provide some useful information.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Change name to Snowfall by country, and add it to Lists by country. The problem was with the name, which is causing it to be interpretted as a "list of members" rather than as "list by country".  Framed in a more appropriate context (with new name), the article is entirely encyclopedic and fits in Wikipedia's "by country" section.  Th e Tr ans hu man ist    18:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to Infrequent snowfall and either delete those parts of the article not meeting that (admittedly arbitrary) criterion, or move them to Snow. Sheffield Steel talkersstalkers 20:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Let's replace this with something really stupid like "Category: Countries receiving snowfall" and we can add that tag at the bottom the page of every article about a country.  Mandsford 01:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and snowball, as suggested by Clarityfiend. Bearian 01:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
