[edit] Ontario Weather Service

Ontario Weather Service (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Originally tagged for AfD a few days ago, but not followed through. I removed the tag and cleaned up the article, but have been unable to find any reliable, third-party sources for it. It does exist, clearly, but of the first 5 pages of a Google search, there is nothing but forums, linkfarms, advertising and YouTube videos - nothing independent or talking about the site itself. The only exception is a bare mention on the National Weather Service's website, but this is also just a link, not any form of commentary. So I'm proposing we delete the article as lacking notability for inclusion. People may wish to refer to the previous version before I cleaned up, which had a rambling, referenceless history of the site which I removed. ➔ REDVEЯS is standing in the dark 11:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

  • I agree with the deletion. This "Ontario Weather Service" article here in Wikipedia was written as an advertisement. To me I think of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. In encyclopedias, factual definitions are given not advertisements for products and services. Socalweatherbuff (talk) 18:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
