Ok so, while the article is cited, I think it fails the broadness category. There are multiple tornadoes in the confirmed tornadoes section that don't contain anything about the tornado. And it's the majority of tornadoes in that section. This is weird to me, especially about an article of a storm that killed 58 total and took place in 1975. I can understand a lack of information in maybe 1918. But 1975? There has to be more information you can use to talk about the storm. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:58, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Onegreatjoke, what do you expect to find about these tornadoes? From my understanding, they occurred way out in the countryside, and the only damage for most of them would be to fields (and maybe some unlucky cows or sheep). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Even though they were on the countryside there's possibly still more to talk about. Maybe you could find some newspaper sources on a newspaper archive website or something. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think it's unlikely many newspapers would talk about tornadoes which didn't cause incidents, when there was an abundance of other tornadoes which did. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:40, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Though. looking here https://www.newspapers.com/search/?query=Great%20Storm%20of%201975&p_country=us&dr_year=1975-1975 on newpapers.com shows over 200 thousand entries that's possibly for the great storm of 1975. Though I don't have a subscription so I can't check these for anything. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:34, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Well it's over 100 thousand on there. mine said 200000 Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:35, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've had a look through around half a dozen reports on ProQuest; all of them focus solely on the McComb tornado. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- Well if you can't find anything we'll see if Femke can. If they can't then just close this a keep due to a misjudgment of mine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, no interest in this topic. Gotta save electricity. If no specific faults can be identified, it should be closed a keep. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 09:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
