[edit] 2011 Atlantic hurricane season

This article provides no useful information. Hurricane name lists are reused every six years. This, this year's (2005) will be reused in this year (2011), except for retired names. Since everyone knows that there will be retired names, no one will know this year's list until spring, 2006. Therefore, this article is a waste of space and there is nothing whatsoever that can be put in it to make it useful.

• Delete I think the rule regarding these articles should be if the NHC has storm names for them, otherwise how do you know which names there will be? [1] --Revolución (talk) 22:59, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is specifically mentioned in WP:NOT, number 2. --CastAStone 01:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • It is mentioned, CastAStone, as something that should be deleted, I think? Xoloz 03:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
    • No, actually it is specifically mentioned as something encyclopedic. Look again. "Lists of tropical cyclone names is encyclopedic; "Tropical storm Alex, 2010" is not" --CastAStone 14:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes, but this list of names is admittedly and obviously incorrect. We don't yet know what names will replace Katrina et al. Xoloz 14:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
      • As of now, this also has no names in it. Xoloz 14:40, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Xoloz 03:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, yes it is specifically mentioned. As something not encyclopedic. Jkelly 04:29, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as a gratuitous policy violation. It should probably be protected from re-creation for a few years. --Apyule 07:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete 2011 is just a wee bit too far in the future. Either block this article from being created again or just speedy delete it every time it pops up again (no vote needed). Masterhatch 10:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Its so far in the future the Earth may not even be here!!! - Bwfc 23:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
