[edit] Note for authors

Use the {{hurricane disambig}} template to include an article in this page. Note that these pages are a little more complete than most disambiguation pages since they also function as a list of storms that used a particular name. Each disambiguation article should follow a consistent format; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical Cyclones.

[edit] Discussion

Maybe this isn't the best name for the category. But the top-level category is just Disambiguation, and we're talking about tropical cyclones, so I named it this. To rename it all we'd have to do is edit the template and copy over the category article. Jdorje 02:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

This category was nominated for deletion or renaming on 2006 March 16. The result of the discussion was keep. An archived record of this discussion can be found on this log page.

I guess I missed the whole deletion debate. Note that Category:Lists of ambiguous human names is not appropriate, as some of the names (like Fox, Alpha, Item) are not taken from human names at all. — jdorje (talk) 19:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, that was my idea, trying to accomodate folks that want to minimize the number of subcategories. I withdrew the suggestion. Now that the category name is confirmed, should we run through and replace all the templates with the {{disambig}} followed by this category? Also, shouldn't the names be sorted, rather than everything under H and T?

Thought I'd drop by and mention a discussion we had about naming these categories. Category:Disambiguation (tropical cyclones) might be a good name.--Commander Keane 08:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I have no objection to that. — jdorje (talk) 17:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I object, doesn't meet requirements of naming conventions for categories. Moreover, we just had the debate, it was extended for lack of participation, and it still was a keep. Maybe next year, after any dust settles from the current flurry of nominations (that also came from the rampant disambiguators).

I am a little confused about the naming conventions, so I asked about it here. I am not disputing that the decision is keep, I'm not sure why that was mentioned.--Commander Keane 22:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
