Sneed Tornado → Sneed tornadoSneed tornado – the word "tornado" should not be capitalized per WP:NCCAPS: "Do not capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name." 2600:1700:6180:6290:E06E:3BB0:F346:FC4 (talk) 13:24, 21 September 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPath^talk 11:41, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Oppose - there is a proper name. NWS capitalizes the "Tornado". ^EF⁵ 15:12, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: Is the current title a proper name? If so, I would oppose. If not, I would support. For now, I haven't decided.

Support per nom. Thanks, 1isall (talk | contribs) 13:54, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Guion tornado and Pleasant Valley/Sneed tornado 2 different tornadoes?

I’m finding sources that say that the tornado which struck Guion was a separate, F4-rated tornado. I can’t find a source saying they were the same, does anyone know why this article says they are? Lavabite (talk) 19:09, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

I can’t find a source that says they were different The Rochelle EF4 (talk) 15:13, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Thomas P. Grazulis in Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991 states that the Sneed tornado was an F5-equivalent tornado and the Guion tornado was an F4-equivalent tornado.

The encyclopedia of Arkansas (an official government source) also states them to be separate F5 and F4 tornadoes respectively, with paragraph 5 stating they were 2 separate tornadoes.

Hell, even NWS Little Rock (another official government source) says so on the last paragraph of this page, which is the official page by NWS about the Sneed tornado event and its surrounding outbreak.

Maybe the confusion comes from the Sneed F5 tornado hitting Pleasant Valley and the Guion F4 tornado hitting Mount Pleasant, but I can’t find a single source saying they were the same tornado.

Also, looking at a map of Arkansas, it would make no sense for them to be the same tornado, but using that as evidence on its lonesome would be WP:OR.

Where is your source saying they were the same tornado? I found these 3 sources real fast, so I don’t see how you couldn’t find a source, considering the only NWS page on the event states they were separate tornadoes. Lavabite (talk) 00:57, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

Reference problem

I had a problem with verifying the path length and width I found. I used the sources used by Tornado Archive but I couldn't find the exact data on the source used: the Tornado Project. I might need some help to get around that broken Flash tool. CycloneTheta (talk) 10:22, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

The Tornado Project is run by Thomas P. Grazulis and is a web version of the book I have linked on my user page. I can’t remember if I put the path length, but it shouldn’t be used if it can’t be verified. :) ^EF⁵ 13:21, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
