WP:UPNOT. The creator is advised to use Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki for this. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:33, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's a sandbox. The user is a contributing editor, and has the privilege, as we all do, of experimenting in the sandbox.  Robert McClenon (talk) 14:16, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:UPNOT has no such leeway.--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:41, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * *Delete. I was going with a keep opinion before I saw this:
 * "These are NOT real tropical cyclones and this page is just to put my imagination and see what it would look like on Wikipedia''."
 * This would fall under WP:UP as it does not appear to be an experiment or a test. From my understanding the user chose to keep this just to see what it would look like rather than use it for something. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:23, 17 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. It looks like playing, not related to mainspace, but the user is editing mainspace storm articles.  He has only just arrived, let's see how it plays out.  The dating of Typhoon Warla in the year 2080 makes it clear that it is not real.  I think it is testing related to article editing, and is within user leeway, if the user continues to contribute.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:35, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * We really do hold a mirror up to Wikipedia in times like this, when we're apparently digging through editors' sandboxes to find content to send off to MFD.--WaltCip- (talk)  13:25, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Why though? We have WP:BADSAND which actually encourages editors to check up on possible things that don't belong there. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:11, 18 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per those above. No need to bring such things here. Blank, after a reasonable amount of time, if problematic. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 02:33, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I do not see anything wrong with my sandbox, also meaning that I don't know why it should be deleted. As said by Joe, I am just playing around. I also want to see what they look like on the Wiki. - CyclonicStormYutu (talk) 13:05, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep nominating this type of thing for deletion isn't productive. The page has legitimate uses (e.g. testing how template formatting works) and the author is making useful contributions to articles.  Hut 8.5  19:17, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Neutral Editors in the past have had this sort of sandbox deleted because they are viewed as hoaxes and could potentially bring confusion to other people who dont read the info properly etc. However, I have to bear in mind how likely it is that someone would stumble across the page and figure out that its an active tropical cyclone and be scared into action because of it.Jason Rees (talk) 18:38, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps if they didn't know what the word "hypothetical" meant.--WaltCip- (talk)  19:03, 20 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - as long as this remains in as a user sandbox, it doesn't hurt anything.  SMB9 9thx   my edits  06:12, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Bruh, leave the person's sandbox alone. It ain't in mainstream so I don't see a problem here.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:06, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
