The following is a copy of the merge discussion. The original may be found at Talk:Storm Vivian. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a merge review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result was that the merger was carried out by an unregistered user, 69.118.34.240, instead of an admin. Although there was consensus for a merge, there was also consensus that "Vivian (hurricane)" was not the right title. So, although it has not been carried out correctly, I have been forced to close the discussion as the merge has gone ahead.


Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Vivian and this article are merged. I created the former not realising that this one on the same topic existed and don't mind which is merged into which. --Bermicourt (talk) 15:51, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Support for merging into this article. They are essentially the same topic. By the way, I highly doubt that this "Vivian" storm was ever a hurricane. After the article merger, this article should probably be renamed to Cyclone Vivian, as is the precedent for other European windstorm articles.

    • Comment. The overwhelming WP:COMMONNAME for this appears to be "Storm Vivian", often "Winter Storm Vivian". I only found one instance of "Cyclone Vivian" on Google books. --Bermicourt (talk) 16:57, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vivian (hurricane)Storm Vivian – The merger was carried out by a non-admin who didn't take account of the discussion about the title. Having carried out some research (see above discussion), the most WP:COMMONNAME appears to be "Storm Vivian", followed by "Winter Storm Vivian". Neither Cyclone Vivian nor Hurricane Vivian are strongly supported by the sources. Bermicourt (talk) 16:22, 12 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.
