Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug is a former administrative district of the Russian Federation.

Why does this article exist? Is Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug a likely search term? There is no travel information here, and nor will any be added. Ground Zero (talk) 03:42, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Also created by an apparent block-evading banned user. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:51, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Outcome: deleted. Ground Zero (talk) 18:37, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This disambiguation page distinguishes between Lake Hopatcong (New Jersey) (an article about a town) and Lake Hopatcong (Park), which redlinks and likely fails WV:What is an article. I suggest we delete the disambiguation page and move Lake Hopatcong (New Jersey) to Lake Hopatcong. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 14:01, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not a destination or travel topic but a factual, encyclopedic page that's not needed. At most, the National Weather Service merits a brief (probably no more than 1 sentence, if that) mention on the United States page with a link. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:07, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    As the creator, I kind of think now that this would be better on Wikipedia, so you guys can Delete this article. I might try to make something similar that is better suited for Wikivoyage, but in the meantime a deletion can happen to this. ANormalWikiEditor (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    It could be moved to your userspace if that would be more convenient for you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:21, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I could definitely imagine the scenario where someone could use this to understand what weather alerts, etc. actually mean. e.g. I don't know how this works globally, but in America, when you check a location's forecast and there is an X% chance of rain, that doesn't mean X days out of 100 it will rain, but X% of the territory is expected to get rainfall. I didn't know that until I was in my forties (but I am notoriously dumb...). I think this could plausibly be repurposed and moved to a more appropriate title about how to plan around weather events and what it means when you see weather notifications from various authorities. That would involve refactoring a decent amount of this and deleting some of it, but keeping some very practical information that I think someone could put to good use. —Justin (koavf)TCM 22:12, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    We already have Severe weather. If you'd like to create an article that covers weather and weather alerts more broadly, you can, but no individual country's weather service is a suitable topic for an article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:33, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I think this is borderline travel topic, but this is far too complex for Wikivoyage and would be better suited to Wikipedia. //shb (t | c | m) 22:31, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The bits that are practical would be much better in Severe weather (and related topics), United States#Climate and United States#Stay safe. While I can envision a Weather in the United States travel topic that includes guidance on using NWS tools and alerts (for example, on a recent trip I did need to learn the difference between a Tornado Watch and a Tornado Warning!), it wouldn't look much like this article.

  • Delete Not really useful to a traveler. Mrkstvns (talk) 01:40, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or transwiki if there is a community (perhaps Wikiversity?) that would accept this article. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 03:37, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or move to "Weather forecasting" and rewrite it to cover similar agencies and their forecasts in other countries. The article is lacking in the practical information for a visitor to the US to get weather forecasts - what radio stations broadcast them (& when), is there an official app etc. AlasdairW (talk) 22:55, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    (There is in fact a web page, which I use.) Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:53, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Outcome: clear consensus to delete. //shb (t | c | m) 06:25, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
