::::I wouldn't exactly call that 'full community consensus'. At the time, the sources known to editors from June were the FARM team's Twitter post, and the NBC article. NBC stated 300+, and, while Wikipedia [[WP:RSPTWITTER|does allow Twitter in certain contexts]], editors gravitated towards the NBC article's lack of a precise wind speed estimate. The University of Illinois paper is now a known reliable source with exact wind speed estimates (309-318). The other argument I saw was the article being short and having 'empty spaces', which I will concur on, but the main point from the original draft's lack of consensus has been resolved. As for notability, the paper states the estimate is one of only three above 300mph, alongside [[1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado|Bridge Creek-Moore 1999]] and [[2013 El Reno tornado|El Reno 2013]]. Both of those have articles, so notability shouldn't be an issue. [[User:GeorgeMemulous|GeorgeMemulous]] ([[User talk:GeorgeMemulous|talk]]) 12:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC) |

This may be too early to do, but this is WP:TOOSOON. we still don't even know lots of the damage, and as usual this tornado has already been widely forgotten (from what I've seen on the news and other sources). See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 Sulphur tornado for an example of this. While both tornadoes are barely comparable, this still has that same general precedent. The driving factor for this AfD is still the WP:TOOSOON, as we usually wait more than a month to make an article on a tornado.(And it wasn't even the deadliest tornado of the outbreak).

- Keep This tornado is also notable for its DOW measurement, which has already been published in an academic setting. It's certainly important to the history of tornado research, and its death / injury toll was the highest since Rolling Fork. This tornado will almost certainly not be forgotten in the meteorological community on account of its damage and measured intensity, unlike Sulphur, as well as other EF4 tornadoes such as Barnsdall 2024 and Keota 2023.

- Comment I created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tornado outbreak sequence of May 19–27, 2024 based on the theory that it was a conflation of unrelated events (including this one) that should be stand-alone articles. My views did not find consensus; I will abstain from voting here. Walsh90210 (talk) 17:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep It wasn't the deadliest but it definitely was the most infamous tornado of the sequence, arguably one of the most tornado of the 2020s, not to mention its record breaking DOW reading that (even though it lasted only a second) had recorded winds up to 300+ mph, so personally I think the article should remain Joner311 — Preceding undated comment added 17:47, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Keep – As people have said above, the DOW measurements of 300 mph winds, the death/injury toll + the damage is a good bit enough to justify an article. Poodle23 (talk) 19:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Löschen – What happened to the full community consensus literally a couple days ago not to have an article? This article has plenty of issues still. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:2024_Greenfield_tornado --Wikiwillz (talk) 02:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
