TOC + clear
Someone added a TOC + clear at the beginning of the article. I don't think this is a good idea. In most cases it's better to let formatting issues take care of themselves rather than using TOC, and having a huge blank below the intro looks even worse than having a slightly misplaced first storm. To improve the formatting, however, a "storm summary" section could be added at the top of the article. &mdash; jdorje (talk) 07:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Fewest since 1965?
Re the statement in the lead "the fewest named storm since the 1965 season, with only six systems reaching tropical storm status" - what about 1972 Atlantic hurricane season with just four? -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 1972 had 3 named subtropical storms though. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:34, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Subtropical storms are strange. They seem to have been named in only two years - 1972/73 - for 1974 on, they got numbers; and up to 1971, don't get a mention at all. Those in 1972/73 got phonetic names (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta), so since these were not "girls names" like the tropical storms and hurricanes of 1953-78, do they really count as named storms? -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Subtropical storms are considered named storms. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  00:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, given that they have names (of a sort), let's consider the second part of the sentence - "with only six systems reaching tropical storm status" - do subtropical storms have tropical storm status? If they do, there's a problem both here and at 1972 Atlantic hurricane season which states "only four fully tropical named storms – the fewest since 1930". It seems to me that the criteria for "fewest" should be consistent between the years. -- Red rose64 (talk) 11:50, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Subtropical cyclones are not fully tropical, but they usually have tropical storm-frock winds, hence, tropical storm status. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  17:01, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I tweaked the wording. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:51, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
