Talk:Hurricane Fabio (1988)

Merge proposal
I'm proposing for this article to be merged. The impact section basically said "there was rain. No damage occurred." Because of the lack of damage, it simply isn't notable.  HurricaneFan 25  00:43, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - Fabio did nothing. Bruvtakesover (talk!) 00:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Support for obvious reasons. I'm getting a bit tired of all these pointless article creations.  Auree    ★  00:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No support — Well written. Rich in sources. Hurricane Fernanda of 1993 did not affect land. Why does that storm deserve an article? Jeffrey Gu (talk) 01:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Because this article — no offense, Jeffrey — isn't written all that well, while Hurricane Fernanda of 1993 is written better.  HurricaneFan 25  01:35, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it might stay. Let's try to let it stay. Jeffrey Gu (talk) 02:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Jefrey, while I agree that the article is decently well-writen, it is for folly. The storm did not cause any damage, no fatalities were reported, and it didn't make landfall. Instead of making new articles, try expanding and improving the countless number of articles that Wikiproject Tropical Cyclones has made. -- TropicalAnalystwx13  (talk)  21:22, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Jeffrey, there needs to be actual notability with a storm. For marginally notable storms like this, you need more info to verify its notability. That is why Fernanda had an article - it resulted in evacuations and some damage. There is nothing like that for Fabio. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:31, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I see. Jeffrey Gu (talk) 01:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Fabio did do 18 inches of rain and minor flooding. Is that enough? YE  Pacific   Hurricane  03:22, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, not without context of what the storm did. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:42, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merged, then per consensus. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  04:44, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
