replies: text: Uh...good question ;-).  I suppose in a way it can serve as a dab, since North Indian cyclone season probably redirects here.  Anyway, whether it's a DAB or not, it needs to be consistent with all the other basin season lists. Jdorje 00:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  disambiguation ? 

message: I was just wondering, since they're so rare, is there anyway of creating a list or category of Arabian Sea Cyclones? Because, it can get confusing and annoying when I try to research them. I always thought that Arabian Sea storms should be some what seperated from the Bay of Bengal.--UltimateDarkloid (talk) 14:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does the IMD use their names sequintially? Why don't they have our kind of list in which the names rotate, or the west Pacific list in which it has no schedule? It just confuses me because it's like retiring an entire list of names each year, whether or not they are signifigant. Why do they have sequential lists? 99.52.153.15 (talk) 03:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno, but maybe because they don't have much activity there. On average, only one or two named storms form there per year. --UltimateDarkloid (talk) 08:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, Change that to three-four named per year. But that's still low. I dunno but even the West Pacific and other basins use this type of list. --UltimateDarkloid (talk) 08:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: One-time names?

message: Why doesn't the IMD retire names after seasons like us? Or do they? I think they should retire names if the storm is notable enough. Why don't they retire names? 76.235.205.44 (talk) 23:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the names are used sequentially and once only. -Ramisses (talk) 00:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why are they used sequentially? The list in this case is like the South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season list. Why do they have to be used sequentially? It isn't like the West Pacific list in this case because they retire names. It's just a waste of names. Why is it like this? 76.235.205.44 (talk) 02:51, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Random..? 

message: Till 2013, unlike other RSMCs, IMD used to classify depressions forming over land as Land Depressions, designating them with their respective storm number with the prefix LAND. However, from this year, they no longer include Land Depressions in the basin. Land depressions are reported in the All India Weather report as a "Salient Weather Feature". The systems are no longer provided any classifications. Warnings are given in the IMD regional websites.
My question is that till now we have been adding Land Depressions in the storm page with their classifcation as per IMD. But from now on, what can we do to include them.
I have three options in mind:
#Classify them as Land Depressions and include them in the list of storm. This will however not comply with the RSMC's classifications.
#Add a separate "Other storms" section from 2014 onward, like we do in PTS articles. Write about the Land Depressions briefly, provide a image of any one storm (the strongest, preferably). Leave the previous articles untouched.
#Stop writing about Land Depressions completely.
I would like to go with option 2. Please share your views.

replies: text: I don't mind any of these options but I hope it is not Option 3. We need to put the land depressions since this basin is one if the rarest storms to form and there are only few storms that form each year. For example: if there is only 1 to 2 storms in a year, the article will be a waste and poor since the article is too short. So if an agency recognizes a storm, whether a depression, crossover storm or remnants of a crossover storm or storm, we need to put it in so it doesn't get wasted. You guys get what I mean? And I do not really edit that much in this basin article, I edit the WPac basin the most. Typhoon2013 (talk)  05:15, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. That is why i said option 2, since it keeps the article big enough and also complies with the current classification standards by IMD. Rishabh Tatiraju (talk) 09:43, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

text: I think we should stick with option 1 until some proof is provided, that they are no including  Land Depressions in the final yearly totals.Jason Rees (talk) 12:02, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I am still waiting for the proof that the IMD are not including Land Depressions in their final totals anymore, however, it seems unlikely that it will come since the one and only land depression of 2014 has a PTCR.Jason Rees (talk) 01:58, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Is there any category of adding cyclones? Cyclones like Cyclone Fani has not been listed. --Jnanaranjan Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk  12:44, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not sure I follow what you are asking here. You will find that Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm per the IMD and thus has been included in the totals for Depression (D) -> Deep Depression (DD)-> Cyclonic Storm (CS), all the way up to extremely severe cyclonic storm (ESCS) in 2019.Jason Rees (talk) 15:18, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
