Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States tornadoes from November to December 2012
Item 2 of  expressly prohibits articles like this, which I will discuss in a moment. '''Per N,''' notability guidelines apply to the inclusion of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. Since it is not past December 2012, it is impossible for the topic to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject per |N. Nothing can be said about these future tornados that is verifiable and not original research. This article also fails several  requirements. '''Wikipedia is not a directory.''' If the past List of United States tornadoes from X to X articles (:Category:Tornadoes by year) is any indication, this will be another list that fails to discriminate membership criteria to canonical examples and fails to even make an attempt at supporting the selection of entries in the list by reliable sources. This article is not a list but a Directory of United States tornadoes from November to December 2012 that is not limited to major tornado events or historically significant tornadoes. Wikipedia is not a directory everything that exists. '''Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.'''  If the past List of United States tornadoes from X to X articles, this will be another article in this area that does not meet . The List of United States tornadoes from November to December 2012 subject matter does not merit an article if the event had already occurred. Also, per Item 2 of , even though it is virtually certain that tornadoes will occur in the United States from November to December 2012, this list is not encyclopedic since the only information that can be know about specific future tornadoes is generic information. '''Wikipedia is not a newspaper:''' This list sits in the ready to offer first-hand news report on breaking tornadoes, whether or not they are routine tornadoes, and will serve as a diary from November to December 2012 of tornadoes in the United States.
