Talk:Tropical Storm Mamie (1982)

Merge?
No offense, but you have much better articles than this one.

I was going to do a GA review, but I'm not so sure this storm should have an article. Sure, it killed 117 people, but look at the impact section. The first sentence says it was the first to threaten in four months, so that's not needed. It then talks about Nelson, which has its own article. The 4th through 6th sentences are about the deaths. It says most deaths were due to falling debris, but the only specifics are the 13 deaths from flooding and presumably the 14 deaths on the speedboat (but the article is unclear whether that's referring to deaths or missing people). In the 2nd paragraph, it mentions the 15,654 people left homeless, and then "Around 16,000... affected", which is redundant. There is no impact for Vietnam (understandable given lack of intensity). The MH also feels like it's trying to be stretched out - lots of references to wind speeds that don't seem necessary. You also say that the JMA declared it no longer a TC, but then you mention the agency tracking it for a few more days. JMA explains that the "2" in the 3rd column means it was a TD.

 * My philosophy with these sorts of articles was to write them out first and take it from their- largely because I don't wanna deal with many of the WPAC season articles at the time. Now that I've written like 40 WPAC articles including 16 in the last 2 months, I think cutting back on a few is reasonable. I was able to get the body of the article down to 319 words, with most of the cutbacks coming from the MH, which wasn't exactly the best MH I've written in terms of flow. Is that short enough? Leaning yes, though I'd be more convinced if the season article wasn't so long. YE Pacific Hurricane  19:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yea, your trim down was good. I just went a bit further. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:46, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
