Pink lightning (storm)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Complete bunk. No sources after 2 years, and no sources exist, because it's complete bunk. Additional side note: created by user with only one edit.  Running On Brains (talk) 15:48, 26 August 2016 (UTC
 * Delete I so wanted this to be true, it looks awesome! I can find no citations in the usual places. Gareth E. Kegg (talk) 16:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting topic. 1. --John Jaffar Janardan (talk) 16:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Confirmed sock. -- The Voidwalker  Discuss 21:53, 26 August 2016 (UTC)


 * That's not a valid citation for the supposed phenomenon though. Even that article says the pinkness was "caused by neon lights". We need meteorological or scientific papers to support this, obviously. Gareth E. Kegg (talk) 17:05, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - NOTE: I've recently trimmed a lot of the obvious baloney from the article under consdieration here. I can't say that I've ever heard of this particular topic before, and I've been a meteorologist for over 20 years now. Colors in the sky that we see with the human eye tend to be either optical illusions or a construct of the way our eyes have evolved over many millions of years.

 * Delete as hoax. "Higher chance of causing wildfires" my aunt... (and the random, unsourced, misreported lightning strike stats don't do anything for the article either). -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:30, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
