This article is a copy of information that is available on List of United States tornadoes from June to July 2018 and Tornadoes of 2018. This outbreak doesn't meet the usual Wikiproject standard for inclusion (i.e. substantial number of tornadoes, EF4+ tornadoes, deadly tornadoes, urban tornadoes, etc.) and should be deleted. Information can easily be covered in the aforementioned articles. This was recently created by an anon user who may have little to know knowledge of Wikiproject guidelines regarding marginal outbreaks. United States Man (talk) 01:21, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

• Slight Delete - While it does not meet WP:NWX, I am having second guesses due to $320 million being the damage total. Elijahandskip (talk) 01:50, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

• Weak keep There was WP:lasting coverage of the event 2019, 20202021. I'm not that familiar with the quality of these sources, but the first two seem reliable. I don't think an essay based on wind speed is that useful in determining notability. Femke (talk) 17:28, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
• Keep per sources provided by Femke, and it further was covered by Deadline to Disaster (episode 4, season 1). This outbreak seems to have had some lasting coverage. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 12:54, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep there are definitely sources on it, it caused $320 million of damage, and there were >50 casualties caused due to the event. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 18:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
