The result was keep. There is apparently consensus that there is sufficient material here for more than just a dictionary definition. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Siberian Express

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced term apparently made up by some weather reporter. A WP:BEFORE search yields anecdotal articles from 2015. Fails WP:GNG. — JFG talk 10:09, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per WP:NOT. The article here is just describing the word which can be covered in Wiktionary. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:31, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Satisfies GNG with potential to expand beyond a definition. James500 (talk) 16:15, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Agathoclea's links added to JFG's links (strangely enough). It's a metereological phenomenon, so we can hardly expect its life and times and an interview with it, but the sources show that it is both used often enough, and detailed enough to be worth a short encyclopedia article, rather than a dictionary definition. --GRuban (talk) 18:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: it's a term / phenomenon that people would reasonably want to look up on Wiki. For sources, please see Ask Tom Why: Tom Skilling on meteorology, weather and natural disasters. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:01, 31 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Also in The Living Earth Book of Wind & Weather - Page 117 by Carl A. Posey ( 1994):


 * A bad winter across Europe and the United Kingdom is usually a gift from Russia, and the torrent of frozen air that sometimes spills out into eastern Canada and the United States is familiarly called the Siberian Express. Buried beneath this ...
 * Etc. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:18, 25 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - Usage by press and academia. The "Before" even had someone from NWS use the term. StrayBolt (talk) 03:45, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete This occasionally media trendy term is nothing remarkable as cold air effecting the U.S. comes from other places as well, such as Canada. A Wiktionary definition would suffice, as WP:ROUTINE coverage does not make this article meet WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not the Weather channel and in the real world, in winter when it is very cold outside, people notice that it is very cold outside, not the catchy names weather forecasters often use to make the weather sound more interesting. Such terms might make weather coverage sound cooler then saying a cold front is moving in from the north-west, but all that actually matters to people in the real world is that Saturday is supposed to be minus 15 degrees. When I was younger and in still in school, we had six weeks straight of sub-zero temperatures because cold air was pushed down from Canada. Do you know what I noticed and cared about when watching/reading about the weather? That it was absolutely freezing outside and in my room, not the trendy way the weather media tried to describe the situation to increase viewership ratings.

 * Keep Per GRuban. 208.54.87.254 (talk) 06:28, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per K.e.coffman and GRuban. I didn't have a lot of hope for this article initially, but I think we're well past DICDEF by now.  Daß &thinsp;  Wölf  01:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
