This has enough info to be a B, but I left it as start because I think the organization is inferior and I'm sure there's more info to be found on the India impact. Jdorje 03:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
I've dropped this to a stub. The infobox states over 1000 casualties of which 69 were in India and 91 further casualties are identified. I would not a few deaths were in an unknown location, but 85% of Gay's deaths are unaccounted for. Where were they and how come that location is not mentioned in the article at all?-- Nilfanion ( talk) 20:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, the black and white pictures are pretty, and need replacements. Here is a shot of the storm before its Thailand landfall, though the Indian landfall might be a little hard. Hurricanehink 20:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Went back to start class, since over half the deaths are accounted for now, and we have inline references now. Thegreatdr ( talk) 00:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I pulled this from IBTrACS [1]. I thought this needs to be fixed as it would be too confusing for readers to say that the 1999 one and Gonu were both stronger than this storm. However, 960 is a great deal higher than 898. These sources aren't New Delhi either, unlike the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone I already changed. Potapych ( talk) 15:31, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: consensus not to move the page to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 23:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Typhoon Gay (1989) → Cyclone Gay (1989) – Having typhoon as part of the name confuses me as the cyclone was mainly known for it's existence in the Bay of Bengal and its impact to India. Plus, the cyclone spent more time in the Bay of Bengal than the Gulf of Thailand. I think Cyclone Gay would be a more appropriate name. The year is optional. - INeed Support- :3 22:28, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
The article originally used MDY formatting; this was changed by Seligne in this edit (though incompletely; Bofuses has recently cleaned up the inconsistency). If there is consensus to retain the DMY formatting this should be noted at the top of the article via {{ Use dmy dates}}. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 08:24, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Typhoon Gay (1989) → Typhoon Gay – Most significant storm with this name in terms of damages and fatalities 📖 ( 💬/ 📜) 04:49, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
Any storm that is the clear primary topic, however, should get the main title (without the year), regardless of its retirement status.The only typhoon named Gay and has its own article is 1992. 1989 caused more than half a billion dollars compared to 1992, which has no reported damages. 1989 also has over a thousand deaths, but 1992 has only one. The other typhoons that have this name had no recorded damages and deaths. Using this rule, 1989 is the primary topic. 📖 ( 💬/ 📜) 04:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
