Previous article discussion[edit]

To whoever put the merge proposel: I don't think it needs it. It is fine by itself, and I know it needs work, but i say keep it seperate. Juliancolton (talk) 19:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that this article does not need to be kept, the storm name was not retired and it did not make landfall. If you feel that you can make this article good enough to be on its own i suggest you make a sandbox for it. Then when its reached a high enough quality post a message on the WPTC talk page to be checked over. Seddon69 (talk) 20:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will do that. Just out of curiousity, what would it be rated now? Juliancolton (talk) 20:22, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A have seen many unimportant storms and depressions articles that have moved to GA...for example...Tropical Storm Lee (2005). What am I doing wrong?Juliancolton (talk) 20:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Julian: Currently, its a stub. It needs major expansion and grammar cleanup as well. It needs to be rewritten.^Mitch32^contribs 20:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If i rewrote it to at least a start class, would it be worth keeping? Juliancolton (talk) 21:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is what needs doing:

be completely wikified
the dates need to be like this October 8
the start needs to be rewritten. For a small storm like this there is no need for detail about formation or data for strength.
There is no real need for times.
all distances need to be in miles with a km conversion. The same for speed.
You need to rewrite this whole article in your own words if possible.
remove the damage section in the infobox or put none

thats it so far Seddon69 (talk) 21:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any good site where i could get good info? Juliancolton (talk) 21:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[1] this would be a good place, plus the source you used for the previous edit which for some reason you reverted. Seddon69 (talk) 22:19, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but that source is where i got the information i slready have. How do I get to the monthly weather review? Juliancolton (talk) 22:22, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

I was just thinking about this one. The storm didn't cause any impact as a tropical cyclone, and what little it did have was pretty minimal. Hurricanehink (talk) 05:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's enough content to justify the article's existence as a stand-alone entry I think. I would hold off on this one for now. Cucurbitaceae (talk) 22:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
