talk page or in a

The result was keep. The consensus here is clearly a Keep among all editors, not just those who focus on weather articles, mostly because of the damage it caused in Portugal. If you believe that this article should be renamed as something other than "a hurricane", well, that discussion can occur on the article talk page. LizRead!Talk!23:45, 9 November 2022 (UTC)reply
Danielle has zero damage and fatalities. (
WP:NOPAGE) said Sometimes, a notable topic can be covered better as part of a larger article, where there can be more complete context that would be lost on a separate page.HurricaneEdgar03:35, 30 October 2022 (UTC)reply
Merge into 2022 Atlantic hurricane season for the reasons stated above, especially
WP:NOPAGE. The best place to present the storm to readers is in the 'Systems' section of the season article.

Keep (as AFC acceptor) - Maybe I made the mistake of reading the project guideline and assuming that it meant what it says, rather than knowing what the unwritten rules are about tropical storm articles. Maybe it was a mistake to think that an ArbCom case would be enough so that the rules about tropical storm articles are actually written rather than being unwritten. However, the guideline says:
Hurricanes, typhoons etc should only receive a separate article if they are notable and long enough not to be considered a stub. If a storm isn't notable and/or there isn't enough to write about, the text can go inside the article for the season or country list.
In the absence of a special notability guideline, almost every tropical storm satisfies
general notability, which requires significant coverage by reliable sources, and tropical storms always get that. The article in question is not a stub. So I accepted the draft, which apparently was a mistake because there are unwritten guidelines for notability. I inferred, since the included material in the season article is normally one or two paragraphs, which is stub-class, that that was the usual rule for text in the season article, so that longer drafts can be accepted. I thought that maybe the written guideline was the actual guideline. If so, keep.

WP:ROUTINE weather reports can't be considered "significant coverage" or else every thunderstorm that ever formed would get an article. Multiple weather stations track storms and report on them as they go through regions. -

Keep - Danielle made landfall in Portugal, almost destroying a town. State of Emergency in Portugal! Portugal is not a normal area to be hit by tropical storms. Hurricane Edgar stated that Danielle caused no fatalities or damage, but that is not true at all. While no fatalities occurred, one person was rushed to the hospital, while as I mentioned above, a town was almost destroyed. Also 644 accidents… IN PORTUGAL!
Keep - Per Hurricane Su. Landfall in Portugal, 644 accidents, and overall a strange hurricane; I think Danielle should have an article, and the article also has much more info than the Season Article. And Knowledgekid87, your reply to @
Robert McClenon is not true. Danielle is more notable than "Any Thunderstorm that has Formed", because not every Thunderstorm has hit Portugal.

Keep - Per Hurricane Su. Knowledgekid87 made good points, but Danielle isn't just any thunderstorm. 644 accidents in a country that is rarely hit by hurricanes is pretty notable to me. Also, the article on Danielle is quite large.

If the storm is just notable for the floods then why not make an article focused on that? Again Danielle was NOT a tropical storm OR a Hurricane when it hit Portugal, extratropical storms also can form
Worldwide. Do you have any kind of source that backs up a record being broken for this particular storm? -

Keep Danielle isn't some random ordinary thunderstorm. It was a strong extratropical storm that made landfall in Portugal, causing significant damages, as per above. If not, why should
Melissa have one?

For now, it is. However, we can exclude it at any time when discussing if the topic is notable. I do still think that Robert McClenon's and Hurricane Su's comments may be useful, in this case.

Danielle caused notable damage (644 accidents), landfall in Portugal (rarely affected by tropical cyclones), no deaths but one "severe" (heart attack) injury, and the town of Mantegias was almost completely destroyed. Also, you must admit that Danielle was a strange storm, forming and becoming a hurricane quite far north.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I'm relisting this discussion as it has attracted a lot of new editors. It looks like the consensus is divided between Keep and Merge. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!23:29, 3 November 2022 (UTC)reply
Keep - I believe it should be kept, as previously mentioned, there were effects in Iberia from its extratropical stage. I also believe it should be kept as its track is rather odd, forming into a hurricane at a rather high lattitude. -

Keep I only briefly scanned through it, but the article seems good enough to stay. A storm does not always need to be super impactful to get an article, especially considering the fact that almost every tropical cyclone that hits the United States is given an article these days. Honestly, the more info the article can provide, the more the storm impacts, regardless of whether or not its severe or minor, is known. This article meets the notable criteria in my opinion so I see no problem with it.

Keep This article should be kept, and I agree with ChessEric's reasoning above. Hurricane Danielle is still notable for its track and its effects – despite being minimal. Also, the article looks good too (i.e. no citation issues).
