The topic of this article does not appear to be notable. I am only able to open one of the sources, which only refers to it as a "possible low-intensity tornado." There is no mention of major damage or casualties. The prose of the article pretty much just amounts to "a tornado happened." WP:NOTNEWS may apply. Media coverage of minor tornadoes is WP:ROUTINE.

Support - not notable at all. No casualties, no major damage and a very weak tornado.greyzxq ^talk 19:57, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete Per reasons by nominator (TornadoLGS) and Greyzxq. Elijahandskip (talk) 20:11, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Tornado is so minor, it wouldn’t even warrant a section at Tornadoes of 2022 or a mention at Weather of 2022. As there is nowhere this tornado should be mentioned on Wikipedia, there is no WP:ATD, hence delete. 100.12.169.218 (talk) 21:31, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Per reasons by nominator (TornadoLGS), Greyzxq and 100.12.169.218. The tornado is so minor that no other articles link to it, and it does not carry any significance as the damage is little. Almost no information can be found on this storm.Timothytyy (talk) 00:19, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete WP:NWeather "The vast majority of tornadoes do not qualify for a stand-alone article, however, tornadoes that some might consider "notable" tornadoes of an outbreak can be given a subsection in an outbreak's article." This is tornado is not notable and there is no outbreak article for it. RandomInfinity17 (talk) 17:27, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete Per reasons by TornadoLGS (the nominator), Greyzxq, and RandomInfinity17. Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 17:33, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete as per all of the above. The tornado being weak and harmless, and thus run-of-the-mill, especially qualifies this one as being not notable.TH1980 (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete - per all above. This article is legit 1 sentence long and is making something on a not notable tornado. Hurricane Chandler (talk) 00:12, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
