The meaning of the name of the storm is notable. Project standards do not overrule the goal of a comprehensive encyclopedia. Feel free to move the information to a separate etymology section if you like, but it should not simply be removed--especially given that the name is obscure and that it is widely misreported in the media. μηδείς ( talk) 02:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
The name is widely reported as meaning a Laotian bird, or "bird" in Laotian, neither of which is quite accurate. The phrase "nock ten named after laotian bird" gets over 2,000,000 hits at google. The two words nock and ten have meanings in English- the phrase "nock ten" means "the tenth groove" if taken literally. Yes, if the storm were named Andrew, it would be appropriate at least to link to the article on that given name in the article on the storm. Given that no English language article exists to explain the meaning of nok ten, a short explanation is quite reasonable. μηδείς ( talk) 02:57, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
My argument is that the name is not unique to the tropical cyclone. In 50 years, when the name Nock-ten is used 12 times, would its meaning really be in each one? I think a link to tropical cyclone naming or something would suffice when the MH gets to the portion "naming it Nock-ten". --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 12:43, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
There maybe so many articles covering the name of the storm, but how can we expect every reader to go to those articles to just understand the name!? Not every reader knows what exactly a tropical cyclone is! Not every reader knows how to find things on Wikipedia! There are people who consider themselves lucky to find the right article here! Only a few years ago, when i was not a member here, I didnt know how to look up for things on Wikipedia.... Many still dont! Yeah and BTW, this is the first article for a storm named nock-ten! The name itslef is being used for the second time in the history of the Western Pacific ocean! So it is probable inevitable and we must explain the name here!-- Anirudh Emani ( talk) 10:16, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Can Someone please expand the meteorological history like the way its done in Typhoon Ma-on (2011). Thats how a storm article should be like. And also, as the system made three landfalls and maintained tropical storm strength for long., i truly believe the met his section should/must be long enough explaining all that. I can expand anything but met his. So i need help. -- Anirudh Emani ( talk) 12:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Better distinction needs to be made between the direct effects of the storm and the 2011 Thailand floods which followed. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 09:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
