DYK for 1991 Andover tornado

On 1 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1991 Andover tornado, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Tornadoes of 2025 moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Tornadoes of 2025. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because is unnotable and seems WP:TOOSOON because there aren't any yet. The existence of the article decieves the reader into thinking there have been some. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Cremastra (u — c) 21:35, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Take it to AfD. E_F⁵ 21:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Really? By the time the AfD is complete it might be fine because some notable tornadoes might have occured. AfD would be needless drama. Cremastra (u — c) 21:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly why I want it to be taken to AfD. There's no point in draftifying an article that will be needed within the next few days. I'm even going to say to WP:IAR, as no documented year since 1950 (when records began) has gone without a tornado. E_F⁵ 21:39, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with that is; someone will end up recreating the article, and then it would *technically* meet CSD. I think redraftifying it is a perfect idea. I or someone else can re-publish it on January 5 if we see tornadoes then. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:42, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So why not just keep it in mainspace? As taking it to AfD will, people trying to constantly recreate it will also cause unnecessary issues. I've noticed that there's been arguments over publishing this every single year for several years, and I don't see it changing. Again, I'm IARing on notability per the fact that this will inevitably be notable, albeit in a few days. I don't think it decieves anyone. E_F⁵ 21:43, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is; it’s still just a tiny bit too soon for main space; but that time will come very soon. We have to actually see tornadoes first. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cremastra is right about the fact that publishing it now would be deceptive. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree with that. "There have been no tornadoes in 2025" isn't deceptive. E_F⁵ 21:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here lies with WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL, it deceives people into thinking that there have already been tornadoes. Now again, not now does NOT mean not ever. It just means it’s not notable yet. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:49, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But AfD or PROD in my opinion would be a waste of time. Because it likely will end up being notable enough for main space before the AfD ended. Just not right this very second. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see you moved it back, which I see as needlessly disruptive. I don't see why you're being so antagonistic about this. I'm not taking to AfD; that would be worse than leaving it in mainspace. Cremastra (u — c) 21:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:DRAFTNO, you shouldn't move a draft back to draftspace if Another editor has objected to or reversed the move (see the move edit summary I made earlier today where I specifically stated "IAR moving and challenging draftspacing" and my above comments). I'm not being antagonistic, I'm arguing my position. But alas, no point fighting an unwinnable battle. E_F⁵ 21:51, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will add (and this applies to both of you) that continuing to move the page back and forth is a form of edit warring. I would recommend leaving it in draft space; at least until January 5 (unless a significant tornado is confirmed beforehand). Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:55, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I'd move it back as a DRAFTNO-vio, but am not trying to end up on the WP:EWN. E_F⁵ 21:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, feel free to draftify it, I revoke my objection. E_F⁵ 22:23, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And apologies for the back-and-forth article-to-draft-to-article-ifying, I just wasn't exactly sure where I stood on it (but obvious where I lean to). E_F⁵ 22:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Cremastra (u — c) 22:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is, as I said above. The topic isn't notable, but, more importantly, the existence of the article suggests to readers – decieves readers – that there have been notable tornadoes. Let it sit in draftspace for the three days or so. Afd will just prolong this and annoy approximately everyone. Cremastra (u — c) 21:42, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think we need to take it to AfD @EF5, @Cremastra. I would think once we have our first significant severe weather event (which looks to be in a couple days); it would be ready for publishing. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 21:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also add that waiting in draftspace works well since we can move it to mainspace at a moment's notice if need be. For Hurricane Clyde, this also works since we have had times when the first notable tornado/outbreak of the year was outside the United States. TornadoLGS (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objections to that. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 23:42, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair. E_F⁵ 23:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricane Clyde: Is it still deceiving, now that a damaging tornado has been confirmed in Argentina? Someone else has published it, so it's no longer in my hands, although now that a confirmed tornado has happened I will object to a draftspacing. E_F⁵ 17:43, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be left in main space at this point. Now that there actually have been tornadoes confirmed. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage image rotation

Just a heads up, you can set images to rotate on specific days of the year. I used to do this (and may add it back to my userpage) with a userspace template. I even set special pictures on holidays that are not on a fixed date (except Easter, I gave up on that one) by checking for the day of the week. - ZLEA _T\^C 04:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tornado track maps

I don't think you understand the gravity of you creating a tornado track map, so I'm going to tell you straight up here. As I said before, wxtrackercody is the 1 that typically handles the map making. However, his plate can be lightened if you can make maps too, which is great! In fact, see of you can go back and make maps for some of the other recent outbreaks that don't have one if you want. ChessEric 21:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I freaked out when I saw "I don't think you understand the gravity", but then read the rest and... thanks. Mine suck, but as Cody doesn't make them for every outbreak, it's better than nothing. They only take a few minutes to make, I can probably knock five out in the next hour. :) E_F⁵ 21:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
