Err, one thing I question - are there ample other sources? I did a bit of research on this storm, and I couldn't find much. It seems that the storm remained offshore and killed a bunch of people. Granted, that does make it notable. But the one source that's in the article doesn't even mention this exact hurricane, unless I'm mistaken. It mentions a hurricane in 1804, but the 1782 event is only called a storm. Mind you, I don't doubt this was a hurricane, but the info that's out there doesn't appear to refer to it as such. I think YE might have been a little rash in redirecting without discussion, but I'm glad we're having a discussion now. It seems the more notable event here is the shipwreck, and not necessarily the storm (since I can find little info on the storm itself), so perhaps it should be an article on the fleet or shipwreck instead? --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 16:06, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
A redirect makes no sense here. We've got a considerable amount of text here and it's not even a stub. There are many smaller articles on the Wikipedia. And as to the citations, that could be remedied. Improvement is better than what amounts do a deletion of the article. The redirect here was done even before the discussion. So the article was never given a chance. -- Maxl ( talk) 19:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
