List of extreme temperatures in Europe month for month

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article uses primary sources to claim that each of the temperature recorded in each month is indeed the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe, even though no published sources for it existed. It also uses the disputed 48.5 record which has not been resolved yet (I could not find reliable published secondary sources that recognize the 48.5 reading as the highest in Europe, only the 48.0 in Athens from WMO, a reliable secondary source. A simple search using Google indicated a lack of reliable sources on this topic. Therefore, it is mostly original research. The article was also created after an edit in which the editor inserted in the disputed 48.5 record was reverted in the next edit, suggesting a POV fork as well.

 * Some claims of monthly temperature record are sourced (the sources are in Italian) and explicitly stated so there, but I don't know if http://www.meteogiornale.it/ is a reliable source. So the article topic is not WP:OR, although the unsourced statements may be. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete The majority of the data appears unsourced, which begs the question as to why one would create a list (of all things) consisting of mostly unreferenced statements. As it is, this is a big blob of unreliable information.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:29, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- mostly unsourced so we don't know where the data comes from and why it should be trusted. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:08, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
