[edit] Merge
This isn't notable enough, and not enough impact to warrent a storm article. Long storm histories only make it seem longer. I vote for a merge. Hurricanehink 15:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- The impact section is decent...this article could stay if it were fixed up. Although the storm was not particularly notable. The writing is atrocious however, starting with the first sentence which is blatantly wrong. Elsewhere the article is rife with bad spelling and bad grammar. Jdorje 18:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Corrected some but not all, you need to point out what errors I made when writing this article because I found little when I looked at it. Storm05 18:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Just looking at the impact section, over half of the sentences contain an error. And there's still the first sentence of the intro. Jdorje 19:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- This patient could live with extensive surgery. It killed the same number of people as Keith later that year. The writing is just a nightmare, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings but come on. -- §Hurricane ERIC§ archive -- my dropsonde 04:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

- Apparently the 23 Guatemala deaths may have occurred while the storm was just a tropical wave, and thus are not attributed to Gordon. Even with 24 deaths, it would be 1 short of the cutoff necessary to get on the NHC's deadliest-hurricanes list, below which I don't think deaths alone can justify the article. Based on the mediocrity of the article and lack of damage...I change my vote to merge. — jdorje (talk) 00:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I did some cleanup, just to let you guys know. íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 14:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I've made major changes (cleaned it up a lot and copyedited it), I think we can keep it. Chacor 04:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yea, good work. It could use some preparations and more impact before being upgraded to B class. If possible, could the impact section be split up by area (have a section for Latin America, a section for Florida, and a section for Carolinas)? They are split up already, but not into their own sections. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
