:Or deleted? Isn't this the exact same thing that :Category:Meteorology is supposed to do? And that category IS actively maintained. — jdorje (talk) 04:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  Please hang on. I was planning to rewrite this list, beginning with the removal of all metereological institutions and historical metereological events, leaving just a list of the core academic topics in metereology. I think such a revised list would be useful to have in addition to :Category:Meteorology. Lists and categories are complementary as navigational tools. - Neparis (talk) 18:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not actively maintained 

message: Isn't the list of hurricanes and tropical storms in this list redundant with List of named tropical cyclones? Dhaluza (talk) 22:27, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Listing of hurricanes and tropical storms 

message: The list contains many irrelevant and redundant links. Many are contained in List of named tropical cyclones an List of hurricanes. This makes the list less usable for readers. -- Alan Liefting-talk- 09:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for posting your thoughts and lists of resources. I don't propose to answer all your points here now. Please note that my first reply in the top section, was addressed not to you, but to the deletion proposer; I have indented it to show the correct threading order. I think it is important to bear in mind that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, a glossary, or a list of events. The list was too long, and included too many marginally relevant or completely irrelevant articles. Alan's recent edit is a good start, but I think more needs to be done. For example, it seems unnecessary to include specific types of cloud altocumulus castellanus cloud, altocumulus cloud, altocumulus mackerel sky, given that the main article on clouds is linked. - Neparis (talk) 03:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New criteria for the list of meteorology topics 

message: Those same resources can also be used by persons looking for new topics to add to the list.  Also, where the article on a meteorology topic has a list of internal links, that list might include one or more topics which can be added.

thread_title:  Expanding the list 

message: As brought up several years ago, this article is essentially a duplicate of Category:Meteorology. I don't see a purpose for it. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 00:46, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
