Talk:Hurricane Ginger

Dates
Once again, the author of this article left out the days of the existence of the hurricane. What is the author thinking to leave out the days of existence????

Todo
Better intro ("subtropical wanderer"? Did someone just make that up?  If not it needs a source), more notable information in the body of the article. And...why does this storm deserve an article again? Jdorje 01:09, 15 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't lose any hair if this article was redirected. It is here as a long lasting storm, and because it is not the longest but the second longest, I say merge it. Hurricanehink 04:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Whoa whoa whoa, time out! This storm is AT LEAST the second longest-lasting storm to form in the Atlantic. It is very notable. I am pretty firmly against the merge. -- §  Hurricane ERIC§ archive -- my dropsonde 23:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I mainly put that there so someone would prove me wrong and add some more information. It could stay, but could use some more in-depth trivia. Hurricanehink 00:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Trivia does not make an article. We need impact to make an article.  Unless the impact section can be extended beyond "there were no reported deaths", this article isn't deserving of a separate article; it can happily get by with its own little section on List of notable Atlantic hurricanes.  By comparison, articles such as Subtropical Storm One (1978), which is even more notable from a meteorological perspective, have been denied an article.  Why should this one (and Faith) get a special status? Jdorje 00:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


 * These were much stronger storms, lasted longer, and broke multiple rules. They were also both very tropical. 1978 was a lowly 45kt subtropical storm that lasted only a few days and just happened to form at a very unusual time of the year. There's also more infomation to give about both Ginger and Faith and both had significant land effects. The 1978 storm had none whatsoever. These combine to make both Faith and Ginger more notable than the two. Of the two, I feel more strongly about keeping Ginger in it's own article, even though I think both deserve it. -- §  Hurricane  ERIC  § archive 22:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Importance
Is this really low importance? The storm was, for a long period, thought to be the longest Atlantic hurricane in history, and is currently second. I think more like mid. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Low Impact = Low importance. See my response on Linda (1997), same logic.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Rainfallwise, it might need to be raised to mid-importance. Not that many storms drop over 15" of rain on North Carolina.  Thegreatdr (talk) 22:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. Juliancolton (talk) 21:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
