Talk:Tropical Storm Kika

Todo
C-Class for now. A thorough copyedit should bring it up to B. Also, look out for WP:MOSDASH breaches, and avoid using redundant words. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. I think I used "convection" too many times, especially near the end. This storm was harder to pull information out of since about half the advisories were the same thing. and the only real difference between most of them were convection. What word should I switch some of them out for? Also, I'm a bit confused on the MOSDASH thing. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I usually alternate between "convection" and "thunderstorm activity", although "rain shield" might work as well. I'm not sure if you have to mention every time the convection wanes and re-fires; one sentence noting the fluctuations should suffice. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:46, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just too let you guys know i have webcited the 3 advisories that were from List Serv as these expire after a year or soJason Rees (talk) 00:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Merge?
We could merge this article. Any thoughts? YE  Tropical   Cyclone  03:50, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I know you left this comment here more than a year ago, but I agree, this article should be merged. No impact whatsoever, was only a minimal tropical storm, and has an extremely bloated MH. Also, there is no sources outside the warning centers.--12george1 (talk) 22:58, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:45, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * NO!HurricaneLove05 (talk) 03:20, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You can't do anything about it. It's not notable, also, please read WP:CIVIL and WP:MERGE. iPhone  Hurricane  95  03:23, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * JG, be fair here. Let him have an opinion. I agree with him, though it's MH is on the long side. YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:25, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * BUT THE STORM IS VERY NOTABLE!!!!!!!HurricaneLove05 (talk) 03:36, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * How? YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * First, tell me what "notable" means, Matthew. CycloneIsaac – E-Mail 03:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * A 35 knot tropical storm that impacted no land nor prompted any tropical cyclone advisories is not notable. Ships in the vicinity didn't even record tropical storm-force winds. I suggest reading N for the true meaning of "notable" here. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 03:44, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Kika may have been notable if we were fishes, but per WPTC notability guidelines, Kika is by far one of the best examples of an article failing WP:N. - HurricaneSpin    (Talk)  03:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As the author of the page, I have no issues with merging this. Non-notable storm with no impact. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 03:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. iPhone  Hurricane  95  04:05, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Umm hello??? Notable - only named central pacific storm of 2007HurricaneLove05 (talk) 04:23, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Kika did not exist in 2007. YE Pacific  Hurricane
 * What YE said (edit conflict). Your argument is invalid. Oh yeah, and to add on, Tropical Storm Erick of 2007's remnants made it to the Central Pacific. Notable? No. Erick is a good example of a merged article failing WP:N. - HurricaneSpin    (Talk)  04:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * HS, WP:BEANS and WP:N can be extremely subject to such interpretation. But, HL, I have no idea what central pacific storm has to do with anything. It's not a basin after all. YE Pacific  Hurricane 04:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no way this storm is notable. Plus it appears that there are 6 supporting merge and only 1 against.--12george1 (talk) 04:54, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * A surprisingly weak storm for the time it existed. Didn't affect anything, so say "goodbye" and merge it. United States Man (talk) 05:06, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
