message: I don't think that Ioke and Paka were "retired" the same way Pauline and Iniki were. Here's why:
Consider this National Weather Service Instruction. On page one, it lists several of the old CPac names and their replacements. Notice how a few of the changed names were not used, including Iwa's replacement name, Io. The names that were used and are being changed are: Hana, Hali, Ioke, Li, Nele, Oka, Peke, Paka, Uleki, and Wila. If they are retiring these names for notability I'd like to have a chat with whoever defined notability. If they are retiring Paka for damage and deaths in the Pacific, why are they leaving Oliwa, which was just as bad a typhoon? If they're retiring Hali for being an off-season storm, why are they leaving Ekeka in, which was stronger and also out-of-season?
Consider this NOAA Press Release: Way down in the eleventh paragraph, it says the following:
A revised list of Hawaiian tropical storm/hurricane names has been created for the central Pacific and will be used for the first time during the 2007 hurricane season. The list is a collaborative effort between the CPHC and the University of Hawaii Hawaiian Studies Department to ensure the correct meaning and appropriate historical and cultural use of the Hawaiian names. 
In other words, the list was changed to make the names have better meanings and better match Hawaiian culture. I think its just a coincidence that Ioke happened to form the year before replacement and be notable for several reasons. I think that Ioke would have been changed to Iopa no matter what happened, even if it had been a storm like Alika in 2002. Basically, Ioke being notable and Ioke being changed to Iopa are coincidental and had nothing to do with each other. 
Hence, Paka and Ioke should be removed from this list and from the template.Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 06:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I always thought the idea that Hazel did nothing but was retired was kind of strange, so I went on Hurricane Archives, and also pulled the JTWC report. As it turns out, Hazel had 6 deaths to its name (maybe more) and $10 million in damages as well.

message: As Alma was retired due to damage, its track should be added to the map. As the map currently is, it would be off the edge, necessitating a complete redo. As Alma is now a GA, I bring this up here as a possible issue that might arise during a supplementary nom to add Alma to the FT. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Track map needs to be updated 

message: This dropped into my inbox earlier from Gary Padgett, while most of it can not be used due to speculation and OR issues its worth noting:
Hi Jason, 
:Yesterday I was perusing the Wikipedia pages for the EPAC and checked out a page on name retirements. I found one inaccuracy and another possible one.
::(1) DOLORES / DELORES - The article stated that DELORES was used in 1991 and 1997.  The variant spelling was used only in 1991--DOLORES was restored in 1997, as one can see by checking the NHC storm report and the EPAC HURDAT file.
::(2) DALILIA / DALILA - The second spelling perhaps was inadvertent in 1995, but was determined to be the preferred Spanish version of 'Delilah' and for that reason left in the list for 2001 and since.   I recall some correspondence with Jack Beven on that issue.    I have checked several name dictionaries and 'Dalila' appears to be the more common version.
 
:If you know who authored that page, you can pass this along. On other changes (other than the ADOLPH and ISRAEL issue), what follows is my speculation, although I think it's likely correct. 
 
::(1) KNUT - There seems to me to be little doubt this name was retired due to pronunciation ambiguities.
::(2) IVA - I strongly feel this name was retired due to its great similarity to IWA - a retired Hawaiian name. Any EPAC storm is subject to wander into the CPAC region. 
::(3) FICO - I accidentally discovered once in a dictionary that the word 'fico' is an objectionable word in Italian. I very much suspect that is why the name was retired. 
::(4) FEFA - I have no idea. But the Mariner's Weather Log for 1991 listed FELICIA as the name for that year, but FEFA was used anyway. FELICIA was of course used from 1997 onward.

message: So, with Manuel being retired, Fico/Fefa/Hazel/Adele/Adolph were added to the list. I okay'd the change as I mostly agree that it is OR not to include them given that they are retired per the WMO. However, I would have preferred to see this discussed first, given that there was a bit of discussion in 2009 about removing Fico/Fefa (because this was suppose to be about storms retired due to impact, but we have no real sources that to say they were retired due to non-impact reasons), especially given that Iva and Isreal aren't on here. Why isn't Adolph on here as well? It was retired for politics reasons, but is that relevant? Not to mention the ones that the CPHC pulled (which happened in thr case of Uleki and Nele happen to be semi-important Hawaii hurricanes) in 2006. They were officially "Removed", so should those be added or no? I'd lean towards no, but in that context, is "removed" simply a synonym for "retired" or no? Given that they aren't listed by the wMO, I'd say no.  YE Pacific Hurricane 05:37, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I am planning to list all the names that are currently listed by HRD and/or the WMO as retired - if we have a source saying that the name was pulled for other reasons then the standard reason of death/damages then we can note it. I do not see it as a reason to ignore since we do include them in other basins (eg:PNG). Note: I was working on this in userspace before a  on a spur of the moment thing gazumped me and reworked the list himself.Jason Rees (talk) 13:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :List of retired Pacific hurricane names's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
