October 12-27, 2013 windstorm outbreak

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The information here is a bit indiscriminate. Wikipedia is not a list or repository of loosely associated topics (it is a series of storms that have little association with one another, and will be forgotten within weeks). Wikipedia is not a newspaper (again, these are largely topics from the following day's newspaper). I'd hardly say there is significant coverage, since it was just a series of storms that happened to briefly produce tropical storm force winds, which caused minor damage. I don't think a series of storms that caused minor power outages and hail is worth keeping, so I propose deletion, as opposed to merging (since the info is borderline trivial, and there's no where to merge it to). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:03, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Very Weird. As per nom. - SimonLyall (talk) 06:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete As per nom. An odd choice of topic, especially since we had a storm event on 10/11 September 2013 centred in Canterbury that was truly notable.  Schwede 66  16:38, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
