I personally started quite a number of stubs myself. Although they are trivial to cite (the cities are there for example), I do not have that kind of time. Citing a source proving weather that a city (or country) exists or not takes fewer clicks and time than tagging the page, waiting a full 30 days, verifying that page never had sources (vandals may have intentionally removed the source links), and actualy deleting it... If you want to go on a delete craze, you are welcome to exercise it more productively on orphaned fair use images and etc where the deletion is clearly warranted for legal reasons if nothing else.
With the usual apologies for pointing out wrong words, I wonder "whether" you really intend to talk about the notability of the "weather" in these cities. ;-)
The handling of fair use images has controversial elements of its own. I wonder if we might arrive at earlier solutions to these problems without mixing them together.
This is really "curing the patient by killing". You would be solving the symptoms but the patient will not be benefiting from it.
When the surgery kills the patient perhaps we should sew the body back up with colourful holiday ribbon.
