Take a look at this. This guy joined under that name just to mess with Ontario Weather Service, a highly respectful forecast site. I am going to press to keep it up. Kevin has been attacked by this guy, and many. He is in the process of gathering IP addresses and filing lawsuit against socalweatherbuff.

Ontario Weather Service

Ontario Weather Service (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (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)
