Article is totally unsourced and any assertions that prove notability should be unsourced. WP:BEFORE search shows vague results that may not be this storm as with no sources there’s nothing to base which storm this even is. Should be deleted per WP:TNT and restarted. Nominated on behalf of User:74.101.92.237 at Talk:October 1997 North American storm complex#Reason for deletion. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

  • Keep — Article now has 3 sources, including one from 2018 and 2022, so it passes WP:NEXIST. Original reasons for deletion no longer an issue. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:29, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Science, Environment, and United States of America. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:56, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep notable coverage in [http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/9710/25/plains.snow.pm/index.html CNN], [https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/march-97-blizzard/ CBS News], [https://www.proquest.com/docview/418485589/A1830E9E02CA444DPQ/546 Chicago Tribune], [https://www.proquest.com/docview/408339223/A1830E9E02CA444DPQ/552 The Washington Post], and lots of local news stories online. Those sources should indicate passing of notability guidelines. Tails Wx 12:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

::I've also expanded the article which should meet notability guidelines. Tails Wx 23:56, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

:::After further researching, I found 1997 Western Plains winter storms, which should be merged to this article or even redirected to this article should it not be deleted. Tails Wx 12:12, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

  • Withdraw - article has been improved and notability has been established. Also, a merge/AFD should be started for the article tails found above. 74.101.92.237 (talk) 14:03, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
