Weather in 2006

 * – ( View AfD View log )

One of only 4 "Weather by year" articles (I am bundling the others in this nomination). Lot of unsourced material that has been tagged for years. WP is not a weather service. At best we can merge selected items into List of extreme weather events. MakeSense64 (talk) 07:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages:


 * Redirect All to List of extreme weather events. The material is not sourced on the page itself, but it appears to be a summary of main articles that are sourced. My biggest complaint is the title doesn't really suggest what is actually is (a summary of notable weather events - which isn't WP:WEATHER) and I find it unlikely that somebody will search Wikipedia for "weather in 2006", as opposed to a specific weather event in one of the linked articles. -- Ritchie333  (talk)  10:46, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - There are also sections with "predictions" like you can see in the 2007 article. Multiple issues with most of them. I agree that the names are poor. If kept they could be renamed to "Extreme weather events in 2006" or something like that. MakeSense64 (talk) 11:39, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge & redirect all per above. This kind of looks like a huge mess and something should be done to try to standardize all this. OSbornarfcontribs. 02:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete (or merge) agree fully with nominator's rationale – article prone to WP:OR Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 15:09, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
