Talk:Tropical Storm Arthur (2020)

New info
From this tweet: here The minimum pressure for the storm was 993 mb at the time (went down to 991 mb later), so i believe it would be reasonable to add it was the second strongest May atlantic tropical storm (or phrase it better) in the last 40 years. After all, it did pass Tropical Storm Beryl. Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 19:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Is this really needed?
The impacts of Arthur don’t seem to me worthy enough for a standalone article, in fact I think most of the info here can be condensed into the season summary. The amount of impact caused was relatively scant and comparable to Alberto 2012, which despite its closeness to the U.S didn’t warrant an article. Thoughts? --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 00:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There's enough info on it, I don't see why not. Nova Crystallis   (Talk)  17:17, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Most of the info in this article is quite bloated. However, I have no idea why this was unilaterally blanked a few hours ago either. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:49, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The user who blanked this has been known for making disruptive edits for quite a while now, so no surprise there! CycloneYoris talk! 20:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, after condensing this down, I got this down to 18kbs. This is iffy but I'm inclined to be in favor of keeping this article now. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:27, 27 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. It’s long enough. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 19:15, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There's sufficient content to keep this. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:52, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree, there’s no reason for deleting this. CycloneYoris talk! 20:07, 27 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Remove. Minimal damage, no deaths, didn't set any records. That the article is of reasonable quality isn't reason to keep it. If this is the new threshold for notability, nearly every tropical storm will get its own article. Why spam the encyclopedia with articles about trivial storms that no one can remember? DOSGuy (talk) 16:06, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Honestly isn't worthy of an article. It just did things that normal storms do so there really isnt a need to mention all of that on WP. The rescues could easily be summarized. Noah Talk 21:36, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge or remove. Minimal damage. No deaths. Notability is disputed. I don't see enough rational to keep this, especially since it's a weak storm that didn't do much to NC or FL. At least Bertha caused one death... ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 17:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Agreed with Destroyeraa. No casualties and minimal damage. It was a pretty routine event. I do not support deletion, though, as it seems to be standard procedure for TCs without articles to redirect to their sections in the seasonal article.

New Arthur Merge

Merge moratorium
Due to the frequency of merge proposals and WP:POINTy behavior regarding some of them, I propose we have a merge moratorium for a month to let the dust settle. Noah Talk 23:55, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * A current discussion is on the talk page. I find it extremely useless and pointy, but oh well...might be time to ask a non-participant to re-close it. Consensus is clearly in favor of not merging. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 23:57, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Man, this is an awful lot like 2008. Same hurricane naming list, a recession, a presidential election that looked increasingly non-competitive by fall, and an overdose of merge discussions in WPTC. Fr there's no support for a merger o the status quo should remain and whether someone put an archive template at the top and bottom is just a formality tbh.

 * This is getting annoying. Enough is enough. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 22:12, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Is there anyone willing to GAN this?
This article needs to be a GA by December 10th to keep the list of off-season hurricanes at a GT. Is there anyone willing to nominate this and work on the article? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
