Article necessary?[edit]

Is this article really necessary? Only one fatality, max rating so far EF2. An argument could perhaps be made if there are any tornadoes assessed as EF4 or a few as EF3, but even then I'm not sure this can't be handled between Tornadoes of 2013 and List of United States tornadoes in January 2013.

I'd wait a few days before discussing deletion to see how many more confirmed tornadoes file in. More surveys could still come in, and looking at the map, a few more could still touch down before this sweeps out to sea. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:14, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I sort of thought this was "jumping the gun" as well. I don't think an article is required, but an extensive section on Tornadoes of 2013 is a must. United States Man (talk) 04:00, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename[edit]

Should we rename this simply January 2013 tornado outbreak? That seems to be what we've done in the past when there aren't multiple outbreaks in a month. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 16:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The name is more specific. Everything seems fine with the name. No good reason to move it. United States Man (talk) 02:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It's already here - there's no point in moving it. And we don't always do what the OP has suggested (January 22–23, 2012 tornado outbreak for example). Inks.LWC (talk) 06:48, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm, alright, works for me either way...I just remember November 2006 tornado outbreak, May 2007 tornado outbreak, June 2008 tornado outbreak sequence, February 2009 tornado outbreak, April 2010 tornado outbreak, etc. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 06:58, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
