Talk:Tropical Depression Five (2010)

Merge to 2010 Hurricane season
I think I can safely say that an individual Tropical Depression never warrants its own article. Dondegroovily (talk) 14:33, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. It all depends on what happens as a result of the depression. This one resulted in enough media attention and affected several states, thus allowing it to have an article. It's all a matter of opinion with every article to be honest though. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:57, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * We have at least eight tropical depressions with their own article. It's no more or less noteworthy than TD 10 in 2007, which has its own article.  Thegreatdr (talk) 16:00, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Also; this article is well written and contains a lot of information; too much to merge into the season article without losing some of the content. &mdash; Iune  (talk)  16:01, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * "I think I can safely say that an individual Tropical Depression never warrants its own article. " - No you cant - take Tropical Depression 04F (2009) 2008-09 for example it turned out to be one of Fiji's worst natural disasters and thus deserves an article despite it being a Tropical Depression.Jason Rees (talk) 16:02, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Saying that an individual TD never warrants an article is just... incorrect. TD's have impact too, and this one did. Not all hurricanes are notable, and not all depressions are non-notable.  Darren 23 Edits 23:00, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * This warrants an article, however someone should write an articlebfor hurricane Danielle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.199.224 (talk) 15:17, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, maybe I went too far on my first statement. But I do think that THIS particular depression doesn't warrant its own article. The only reported deaths are due to heart attacks in rip currents - something that happens every day when there aren't depressions around. The info on delays caused to the Deepwater Horizon repair probably belong on the Deepwater Horizon article. I would guess that content is already there, in fact. So, I'm sticking to my guns on this particular depression. BTW, I don't think #10 of 2007 warrants an article either. Dondegroovily (talk) 00:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

BTW, for the record, I didn't place the deletion tag, just a notability one. Dondegroovily (talk) 03:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)


 * We (WPTC) are aware that you didnt place the delete tag, however i think it may be notable because of the track it took. No other storm has taken such a path over Louisiana, southward through Alabama, and very nearly reformed in the Gulf of Mexico.Jason Rees (talk) 04:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, now that you mention it, the track is kinda unusual. That's why I tagged notability. Put that in the article and cite it, show that it is notable. Dondegroovily (talk) 04:22, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * i will let Hurricanehink sort that out since he knows the Atlantic basin better than i do.Jason Rees (talk) 14:20, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

If this article is merged, so should every other tropical cyclone article with minimal effects on land. I wouldn't mind if that was the case (since we admittedly spend a lot of time on menial tropical cyclones), but such a decision should be project-wide, not on a case-by-case. Additionally, it would affect several featured articles. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Personally, I see no harm in making articles on most tropical cyclones. If someone has the time to do it great, if they don't oh well. TCs are one time events, there will never be another TD 5 in 2010... I know that sounds like lame reasoning but isn't that one of the key reasons Wikipedia exists; to cover unique and one time events thoroughly. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 00:34, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Rainfall graphics coming online
By 1615z, the rainfall graphics for this system should be online. They've been recently uploaded. Thegreatdr (talk) 16:04, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up DR, I've added it into the article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:57, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks. Crazy track! Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:00, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Storm Damage (NCDC)
NCDC reports for August have been released. Instead of spamming the article and wasting time, I've compiled the links here for damage reports in relation to the depression. Some of the reports do not note the system; however, it was the only low pressure area in the region which could cause the impact. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:06, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
