Talk:South Pacific tropical cyclone

Question
Why does a page about the South Pac. Tropical Cyclone Season not indicate what that season is? Nov-Mar? Apr-Jun? If not here, then where? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.130.161.8 (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It should be in here. Either way, every SPAC season is suppose to have this. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  18:55, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Ive added a very basic line, might be a good to move this page and others to South Pacific tropical cyclone climatology since thats what we are generally developing here.Jason Rees (talk) 20:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Breakoff article
I am not sure if this is the best place to put this, and I know this argument has been brought up before on the talk page for Subtropical Cyclone Katie, but I feel there is a need for the creation of an article for storms in the South Pacific that form East of 120°W. I get that they are currently mentioned in the articles for the respective South Pacific seasons in which they formed, but I don't think it makes sense to say they must be in these articles, but then not at least include them in the season summary section. If these systems are unofficial due to the location in which they formed, then these systems should probably have their own article, even if it would likely be short. (but given the strides taken in identifying South Atlantic storms in recent years, we could very well see an acceleration in the rate of identifying these storms going forward.

 * There really isn't a basin for SEPAC though. Those storms are so infrequent that they belong in SPAC articles, and yes I think they could get a mention in the season summary. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * As the primary editor for the SPAC region, I feel that you raise an interesting point about the 3 systems (1983 TD, Katie & Lexi) that we are aware as existing to the east of 120W. However, the 1983 Tropical Depression and Katie have both been included as a part of the seasons by the researchers that identified them (Not sure on Lexi), which as a result means that it would technically be original research to remove them from the seasons. However, I don't see the need to tweak the seasonal summary or seasonal infoboxes to include these two rogue subtropical systems when the warning centres (BoM, FMS, MSNZ) for the region do not count subtropical cyclones towards the seasonal total AFAIK.Jason Rees (talk) 14:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair enough. That the summary infoboxes didn't include subtropical storms is something I did not note. My mistake. DarkSide830 (talk) 01:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
