[edit] Move this article

Basically, the general format is having the Hurricane Name as the retired storm, with Hurricane Name (Disambiguation as the disambiguations, unless there were no retired storms, so the disambigs would have the name and other storms would have Hurricane Name (Year). However, based on how destructive Paul was and how well-known it was as a destructive storm (IMO), I propose it gets the main article. Hurricanehink 15:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

No objection. However I think for the atlantic, which has been more consistent about retiring names for longer, we should stick to the yearly suffix entirely for non-retired storms (though there are several "coincidentally" retired storms like Hurricane Francelia which are tempting not to add the year to).

Thank you. Good point about storms like Francelia. That, Belle, and a few others could use a redirect for their name (like Francelia (1969) redirects to Francelia) but they can stay with the main article in my book. Especially if the storm is notable, like Alice in 1954-5. That doesn't need to be Alice (1954), but a redirect couldn't hurt. Hurricanehink 22:06, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

Some more on impact, and a little more in the intro. How about a breakdown of deaths by country? What countries did the TD even strike? Jdorje 20:34, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

That is next to impossible. There is next to no info available online, so all you could do is guess and mention other storms. Hurricanehink 20:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I love it when I'm wrong in cases like this. Is this better? Hurricanehink 00:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
