 * The problem has been more or less resolved. moved over the contents to Cyclone Yaas and attribution was left in the page history and the talk page of the article. A histmerge was deemed too tedious by an administrator, so your draft was simply moved to mainspace in order to prevent loss of attribution data. That makes this discussion essentially moot.

 * , What is moot ? Bera  niladri19  🌀🌀 08:12, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * "moot" from Wiktionary at en.wiktionary.org (licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0): adjective. Defintion #3: "Having no practical impact or relevance." In other words, there is nothing left to discuss since the section has already been moved. Chlod (say hi!) 08:17, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

History Merge
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Cyclone Yaas a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Draft:Deep Depression (2021). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

 * Please don't give out warnings for cut-and-paste moves when this obviously wasn't a cut-and-paste move, as evident by the page history of the pages you linked. You're only causing more confusion. Chlod (say hi!) 04:41, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * To clarify, these were unattributed page splits. Both of them. And a split where another article existed prior. Chlod (say hi!) 04:58, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , ok i am sorry for that  HurricaneEdgar    04:43, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
