[edit] Fictional Hurricanes

two hurricanes from the simpsons, two from family guy, one from invasion, none of them real. my guess is that this is more katrinacruft, but really, having the episode guides from these shows link to the hurricane article ought to be enough. even if desirable, unmanageable.

• Delete as completely idiosyncratic non-topic. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete in its present list form. An analytic article about hurricanes/violent storms in fiction could be interesting though, relationship to protagonist moods, catharsis, human insignificence ... Must have been already written many times in Eng Lit 101 and higher! Dlyons493 20:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Move to List of fictional hurricanes. Just because it's fictional, isn't a valid reason for deletion. Obviously Katrina and Rita have sparked interest in such info. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Question would List of hurricanes in fiction be more or less useful? Dlyons493 22:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but move - either of the above names will work. -- BD2412 ^talk 01:18, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but rename to List of cyclones in fiction so that it includes tornadoes, cylones, typhoons and hurricanes. Vegaswikian 05:52, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment that'd be better all right. Dlyons493 07:37, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: As long as this is moved I'm happy. I don't have a particular preference for which title to use. I just chose the shortest one, but I'm willing to go with anythign that's backed up by naming policy. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:06, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable and useful topic. Rename if necessary. Kappa 10:58, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
