Delete — Article is a contentfork of Tornadoes of 2024 and WP:Weather has basic criteria for tornadoes that get articles (WP:NWEATHER). Hey Cutlass, honestly, I would withdraw the AfD and then just do an instant redirect to Tornadoes of 2024#February 21 (Indonesia). The AfD is just too-long of a process (since it is a seven-day process) for this and a BOLD redirect is what I would have done. So, unless you feel we need seven days for this discussion, just withdraw and BOLD redirect it. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 01:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The event didnt even cause any deaths, something that automatically makes it near unimportant unless it causes hundreds of injuries. Lukt64 (talk) 02:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The one thing thats sure is notable about this tornado is that it occured in Indonesia, a tropical country located in the equator, which doesn't get affected by the Coriolis force, So a tornado with this magnitude shouldn't exist in Indonesia, yet it did, I feel like we should keep the article because of this one fact, I think this is notable enough.

That's not for us to decide. If academic journals start publishing articles about this, then we can talk about it. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:19, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. An event being in the news does not make it notable. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:18, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It being in the news is not what made it notable, Like I said before, I feel like it occuring in Indonesia is what made it notable, Take a look at the Port Orchard tornado, It didn't even cause any casualties, it might even deal even less damage than the Sumedang tornado, but it has an article nonetheless, because its rare, My opinion is to probably just make it a redirect at minimum.

But why is high casualities 200 homes damaged? 50 people injured? Great achievement (talk) 07:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect into Tornadoes of 2024#February 21 (Indonesia). Not enough information (yet) for having its own article. 82.174.61.58 (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not meet GNC criteria, obviously. Cinadon36 16:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now, but in the future, such an article could be merged to a country tornado list. I have started Draft:List of Indonesia tornadoes, and based on List of tornadoes and tornado outbreaks in Asia, there appear to be enough tornadoes for there to be a list. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above 68.129.15.101 (talk) 00:53, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a weather event with no deaths, also fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 03:16, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Tornadoes_of_2024#January–February_(Indonesia): Nothing to suggest standalone notability. Owen× ☎ 00:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
