Close to GA, but needs a section about name retirement. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 18:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC) (edit)

[edit] Retirement

Each year, the names of particularly destructive storms (if there are any) are "retired" and new names are chosen to take their place. Add a new section Tropical cyclone naming#Retirement.

And mention that e.g., here in Taiwan, highly remembered "Nari" is coming around again, apparently the last one was not big enough for the big wigs to retire -- which only makes them look dumb...

I'm not so sure about that last "makes them look dumb" point. But the article does need a section about retirement. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 18:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
