Complete nonsense. Lee M 02:16, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Nonsense. Let me guess, next up is "The weather in the Spanish Plains." Har har. Ian Pugh 03:37, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Puerile crap. Probably should be a speedy, but unfortunately I don't think it qualifies. This is why I voted for early deletions. -R. fiend 03:39, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. As a bit of a background, this was the example of an article that doesn't exist in Wikipedia:How to edit a page. I remember reading at one point that a article with this title could be written, and there was even a specific procedure for updating the links to that page should it be done (can't find that now, though...). Probably someone's experiment. - RedWordSmith 04:04, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I see now... the capitalization was changed on 26 Sep 2004 by 24.9.70.244. I've changed the link on that page back to "weather" with a lower w. - RedWordSmith 04:17, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Delete. London is not a natural weather unit; and surely if the article London is good — I confess I haven't looked — it'll have details on the weather. — Bill 12:09, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Not encyclopedic, hard to keep up to date. --Improv 16:27, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Delete. Why everyone thinks London is particularly foggy, I don't know. I was there on a homestay when I was younger, and not one wisp of mist did we have, and have been there many times since. In fact I later asked a native of that fine city, and they explained in the bad old days the British had the quaint habit of using open coal fires to heat the air above their houses, which caused some very nasty smog (the coal had lots of sulphur or something in it). There was some law passed which put a stop quite suddenly, but the legend persists. --Ianb 16:46, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Current contents are either inaccurate (because they describe climate, not weather) or inappropriate (e.g. comment about night vision goggles). Any article about the "weather" in London would have to change constantly and Wikipedia is not a news service. Rossami 21:30, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- 'Delete. Wasn't that article title used/linked in some tutorial somewhere? Could that be the root cause for its creation? Ropers 23:12, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
