[edit] How far back?
Just so we can start the debate, how far back should it go? Is the current format acceptable? I personally thought that this basin deserves its own seasonal articles, so this is what I did. Comments, questions, additions, corrections? Hurricanehink 02:28, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- 1985, absolute maximum. There is hardly any information past that time. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:50, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

- What about the JTWC archive? They have storm info back to the early 80's, so a 1980 cut off date could work. I'm not trying to be disagreeable or anything (remember the Atlantic archive :) ) but there is some info. If we chose a 1980 cut off would it be sufficient to write a sentence or two about the storms with unknown history (just track and dates for Unknown Storm 1), or should those storms be omitted? Also, should we put links to notable North Indian storms that already have articles on the main page that are pre-1980 (like the 1970 Bangladesh cyclone) or leave them as is? Final question (horay!), should 2004+ storms that received names by forecasting agencies other than JTWC have their names in the title? Ogni, for example, was named (can't remember who by off the top of my head), but JTWC called it TS 1A. Sorry for all the questions, just want a general concensus for this basin article.

- One last thing (not a question). Unisys isn't everything. If they call something Subtropical Cyclone 1, it really means it was a Cyclone. Likewise, if it is Sub Depression 2, it is just a TD. Just thought I'd throw it out. Hurricanehink 13:53, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Hiya. A couple things:
- The only storms we have before 1980 are 1970 Bhola cyclone and 1737 Calcutta cyclone. Going back to 1970 might be good.
- The JTWC hurdat data goes back to 1945. However the further back you go (anything before 1990, it seems) the worse the data is. Far enough back (~1970) it has no strength info only positions. See [1] (User:Jdorje/Tracks).

If it is all right, I am going to make a Pre-1980 North Indian cyclon seasons article. This could cover all the important cyclones in that period. Hurricanehink 14:55, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Woohoo, it's done! That was really fast, but worth it as the 2nd finished basin. What basin will be finished next??? Hurricanehink 02:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] disambiguation ?
Why is this article categorized as a "disambiguation" class ?

- Uh...good question ;-). I suppose in a way it can serve as a dab, since North Indian cyclone season probably redirects here. Anyway, whether it's a DAB or not, it needs to be consistent with all the other basin season lists. Jdorje 00:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
