Talk:Tropical Storm Josephine (2008)

Merge?
As far as I can tell, it's a copy and paste of the season article. As the storm is no immediate threat to land, either merge it or expand it. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Expand It is a named storm and is thus notable.  --Winger84 (talk) 17:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Move to the sandbox. It does not warrant an article right now as it is basically a stub and is many days from land, but the sandbox should be there. There isn't much available operationally to expand this. CrazyC83 (talk) 18:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well we might as well keep it... if its gonna go back to the sandbox... and then come back again Itfc+canes=me (talk) 18:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, Public Advisory #2 states that it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane within the next day or two, so that's something to consider, as well. --Winger84 (talk) 18:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Well make it a article then! --Elena85 | Talk to Me | 1000 ''edits!!!' 19:49, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I don't see a need for the article, but I don't the need in trying to prevent the article from being made; that is counter-productive, as the effort to prevent the article could be used to develop the article. The storm looks like it'll be around for a while, after all. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In any event, an effort should be made to expand the article. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  20:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge 1) it is off no imediate threat to land 2) This looks like its going to be a fish spinner in which case even if it becomes a Hurricane it needs to be merged back into the atlantic page
 * Well, while I still push for a merge right now, it looks like it might affect land at some point. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  22:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It is still a named storm, folks. Yes, it's quite a ways out there at the moment.  But, even in its current position, it is still affecting land, the Cape Verde Islands. --Winger84 (talk) 23:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind that being a named storm doesn't make it inherently notable. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  14:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Whether an article should have been published is a different issue from whether the article should be "unpublished." While it is okay to debate the first one, it seems silly to remove an already existing article, push it back to a sandbox, and then re-publish it. I'd !vote against a merge.

 * I'm expanding the article now, the into is roughly a paragraph long and the storm history is nearing a third paragraph. I'll save it once it's up to date. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

GA nom
This isn't a GA review. However, I strongly suggest holding off the nom until a few days from now, when the storm is no longer an entity. It is still a remnant low, and there is a possibility it could regenerate. Plus, as JC said, any CV impact? Hint: the public advisories have something. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * All I found was a little rain, no waves. 3 inches at the most. Can't find anything else. I've been looking for the past couple days for anything on it. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, it has a decent chance at regenerating. Hence it should remain at Current-class until things become clearer. CrazyC83 (talk) 14:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Josephine not done?
This storm wont give up. Global models are picking up on Josephine again, and this time showing regeneration. But guess where the regeneration is forecast. You probably figured it out...Haiti. Forecast shows the regenerated Josephine intensifying while moving northward just offshore Hispanola. The regeneration starts in three days near Puerto rico, taking a Jeanne like track. .

 * I was just on NOAA's website, and learned that the storm has indeed regenerated, being upgraded from a Tropical Disturbance o a Tropical Depression.:( Perhaps the article should be updated to cover this?--Snowman Guy (talk) 05:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no tropical depression yet... –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  12:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Source?--Snowman Guy (talk) 17:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * NHC; there's nothing out there except for Ike and a low chance of development associated with Josephine's remnants. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  17:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

NHC is showing (i think) a different system now, something absorbed the remnants of Josephine so it's a new low. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:44, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

"Three inches of rain"?
The source predicted three inches of rain. We need a source saying that the rain actually fell. I suggest trying the weather histories at wunderground.  Plasticup  T / C  06:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I found a source on wunderground. It only gave sporadic reports but it had the daily rainfall. It showed 0.55 inches for the day. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Again, you should hold off on the now-GA nomination to update the SH. Right now it says regeneration is still possible. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  19:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a GA? There is still a couple of error I found, (Josepine, foretast). HurricaneSpin (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge?
This storm is literally Tropical Storm Rene (2020), which was merged. This had even less impact and just because it was a named storm doesn't mean it's notable.~ Destroyeraa 🌀 17:00, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge. Hardly notable.  SMB9 9thx   my edits  08:57, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Why'd this ever get an article? 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me!  12:17, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge The storm is the legit definition of a fish storm. CyclonicStormYutu (talk) 19:13, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Who said that this should of gotten an article and went and made it for a fish storm? I like hurricanes (talk) 00:05, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It's an old article of mine from 2008 when standards for notability were far lower. No issue with it being merged. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 01:04, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
