*”’Delete”’ but no objection to a selective merge to maybe [[Audrain County, Missouri]], or restoring to merge to a list. I found a couple sources published a while after the tornado,[https://www.newspapers.com/article/mexico-ledger-audrain-has-had-several-cy/183341365/][https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-weekly-intelligencer-the-audrain-cyc/183341575/][https://www.newspapers.com/article/columbia-missourian-weather-facts/183341325/][https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-vandalia-leader-cyclones-in-county-f/183341231/] so it’s got some significance in a local way, but these aren’t really enough to build a good event article, imo. (Honestly, we should have a “tornados by state or large county” style set of lists; they’ve almost got to be notable in aggregate and it would be a good way to preserve information on ones that had local impacts) [[User:GreenLipstickLesbian|<span style=”color:#EB0533;”>GreenLipstickLesbian</span>]][[User Talk:GreenLipstickLesbian|💌]][[Special:Contribs/GreenLipstickLesbian|🦋]] 06:00, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

1891 Missouri tornado (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails GNG. No major coverage after 1891, outside of database entries, and a single (dead) user-generated source is all that’s given outside of those two. I don’t think this should be treated any different from more recent tornadoes with no lasting coverage. Departure– (talk) 23:01, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per GNG. High fatality amounts do not necessarily correlate to a storm’s notability. EF5 23:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
