Non-notable storm with no notable impacts Jdcomix (talk) 18:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose;
Tropical Depression One (2009) had similar minimal impacts as Eight and it has an article, so why shouldn't this one? --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 18:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply

Going to go ahead and redirect that one as it breaks the rule saying that storms not having impacts shouldn't have articles. Jdcomix (talk) 19:07, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jdcomix: I checked the WikiProject page and it doesn't say anything about that. Not sure where you are getting that from. Also, several other storms have articles and they didn't impact land at all. Plus, TD 8 had non-tropical origins, as stated in it's TCR which was released on Tuesday, so it is SOMEWHAT notable for that (same thing for Alex but that was more notable for its formation date). --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 20:20, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason for the article to exist but why was this nominated for deletion? Are you suggesting that the there should be no mention of TD 8 anywhere on Wikipedia? Also, there is no "impact rule".

I'm suggesting we merge it to 2016 Atlantic hurricane season. Jdcomix (talk) 14:36, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Next time, just post on a talk page with a header suggesting a merge. Because generally speaking, in this project, the deletion of something means it should not exist on wiki at all. The reason is because storm article are sub-articles of the season, and when there's enough viable content (not just fluff), they are split off.

Other stuff exists is not a valid argument; the notability of a storm is determined independently of others.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply

  • Merge into 2016 Atlantic hurricane season. There was nothing independently remarkable about this storm - the impacts were minimal and it wasn't even named.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:09, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Like I said, TD One in 2009 had minimal impacts and wasn't named yet it doesn't have an article, so why is TD Eight exempt from this? MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 19:10, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • TD One at least formed in the off-season and is of higher quality than this article though.

  • Merge into season article: the section there is comprehensive enough, and impacts in Bermuda can simply be added there instead. ~ KN2731 {talk} 02:32, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. The article gives no compelling reason to be this detailed on a meteorological event that lasted a few days, and will not likely generate any significant studies or literature. The impacts should be merged into the season section. As for TD 1 in 2009, it was more meteorologically significant for being in the off-season. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:50, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Went ahead and merged it into the season article, this can be closed now. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 09:21, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
