[edit] Weatherzone

• Delete looks like advertising designed to look like a stub. The edit history is interesting. Vegaswikian 1 July 2005 05:36 (UTC)
• Keep and expand or Merge into The Weather Company article. As noted on the requests for expansion entry, someone has volunteered to do an expansion/merger into a larger article based on Weatherzone's parent service; it hasn't been done yet due to his studies, he wrote. Copy of the comments are as follows:

*Weatherzone - Article right now reads like a dicdef or an advertising blurb. While it may be important to Australians, not being one I don't see how it is; if it is significant, it needs to be exanded so it doesn't end up on VFD listing.--Mitsukai 15:45, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm a weatherzone user, and I don't think the weatherzone website itself is significant enough to warrant an article. It's just a glorified version of the Bureau of Meteorology website. I do think there would be a case for creating an article on [www.theweather.com.au The Weather Company], which manages weatherzone, and also is the main distributor of weather information to TV stations. I'll see what I can do about it, though I really should be studying for exams now :) -- Graham 03:30, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Granted, while I agree in its current incarnation it's wikispam (I said as much in the history, and I actually considered VFDing it earlier in the week before I checked the RFX pages), I'd think this would be useful enough to give some Aussies a chance to update it before we kill it off. I'd expect the same, if we were talking about, say, The Weather Channel's weather.com here in the US.--Mitsukai 1 July 2005 13:43 (UTC)

redirect to The Weather Company article. I've just created the article for The Weather Company, as I suggested on the aforementioned Requests for Expansion page. Its mention of weatherzone should be enough, and it is not necessary to have an article entirely devoted to Weatherzone. Graham 2 July 2005 11:13 (UTC)
