Talk:November 2016 Vietnam tropical depression

The way forward
Hi, I wanted to respond to here personally with several thoughts on the way forward with this article. I would strongly urge CycloneIssac to quick fail this article as I have been seriously tempted to over the last months for reasons that are outlined above and below. Last month I had a complaint on my talk page from who strongly felt that the Tropical Depression that impacted Vietnam during December was far more notable than this one. As a result of this and a little bit of digging, I suggested a comprimise of a Vietnam flooding article, which would cover in more detail the flooding events that have taken place since I believe May 2016. However, for various reasons this hasnt happened yet but is somethign id like to see happen.Jason Rees (talk) 20:23, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I am also surprised that the JMA WWJP25 is not a reliable source CycloneIsaac.Jason Rees (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I was looking visually at the reference list, and now it has shifted to Reference 7.&mdash; CycloneIsaac ( Talk ) 20:47, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware of the talk page complaint. Assuming the TD didn't cause most of the flooding, I think its a fair move. YE Pacific Hurricane  21:00, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

The UN coordinator includes the depression as part of a series of five floods affecting Vietnam in late 2016. I think it should be part of a broader flood article, given 134 deaths from mid-October to December. The Weather Channel notes that it began even before Typhoon Sarika (2016) struck. Unlike Sarika, which also affected other countries and had a significant intensity, this TD is really just part of a bigger story. I propose a merger with 2016 Vietnam floods.

 * Yes me and were discussing this several weeks back. I actually agree more with  to be merged and call it "2016 Vietnam flooding". Despite I made this article during November last year, I did not expect another TD to affect Vietnam "much greater" during December. So yeah, unless we make two separate articles? Though I don't think it should work like that. Sorry guys.  Typhoon2013  (talk) 05:12, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries. Sometimes the notability is established in hindsight, especially if a storm is part of a larger event like this TD. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:22, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
