Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Vital articles

message: If anyone is looking at this talk page, does anyone have any suggestions for what more articles should be included? Particularly, I am speaking of the Southern Hemisphere, which is lacking. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Attachment 2B of this WMO Report/Technical Document gives a "list of tropical cyclone names withdrawn from use due to a cyclone's negative impact onone or more countries" for Perth, Darwin, Brisbane, Port Moresby, and Nadi. It is current to 2006 (so recent names are missing), and there are four gaps (Helene, Koko, Juliette, and Pate in Nadi's retirement list). Despite these, if a list of SH retired names is needed, you won't get a better list than this. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 04:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: User:YE and I have been having a big debate on Instant Relay Chat on whether or not Hurricane Igor should be on the list for a vital article. It was the most destructive hurricane to strike the Canadian island of Newfoundland on record, and the third-wettest tropical cyclone in Canadian history. Additionally, it was only the second time that the Meteorological Serve of Canada requested for a hurricane name to be retired. I noticed that Hurricane Karl from the 2010 season was added on to the list as being the most destructive tropical cyclone to strike Veracruz in history. However, it wasn't retired by the WMO in the spring. So, I suggest that either Karl is swapped for Igor (depending on you guys' thoughts), or we just add Igor to the list. Thoughts? – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 00:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Retirement has nothing to do with this. Karl did 27 times as much damage as Igor, and was more deadly. YE  Pacific Hurricane 00:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Igor being added in favor of removing Cesar, as Joan (which affected the same area) was much worse. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  01:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Juan (which affect the same general region) was worse than Igor. I think Cesar should be replaced with 1933 AHS. YE  Pacific Hurricane 01:45, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Some areas have more storms than others. In particular, Florida and the Gulf Coast have too many, IMO. I propose removing Frances, Dennis, and Gustav. I also propose removing Diana from Mexico, as that wasn't nearly as bad as other Mexican storms listed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is Denis listed under Gulf Coast when it was one of the worst Cuba hurricanes? Same With Gustav. Given that these are regarded as the worst Cuba hurricanes, they should stay (or at least one of them). I am iffy on Daiana. Michelle is also borderline IMO. YE  Pacific Hurricane 17:22, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If Dennis is worse, then we should remove Michelle. And Gustav doesn't seem that bad in Cuba. Regarding Diana, there are several more important Mexican hurricanes. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  01:33, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
