List of tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Earl (1998)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The problem with this article is that it's not notable. Tornado outbreaks happen all the time, particularly with landfalling tropical cyclones. The hurricane associated with the event isn't that notable (unlike, say, a tornado outbreak associated with Katrina), and the tornado outbreak itself isn't either - only one death and a few million damage. More pressing, most (if not all) of the content is already in the main article. The only thing the list article has is the table up top, which isn't really that necessary. In essence, it's a content fork. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Unsure as we have many articles about tornado outbreaks. What makes it less notable as, for instance, April 2009 tornado outbreak? --Matthiasb (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The info is all duplicated from another article, fewer fatalities, fewer tornadoes, much less damage, fewer strong tornadoes... should I go on? ;) Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:39, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
