Talk:Typhoon Haiyan

Remiscence to Yolanda Saldivar's namesake?
I know Yolanda Saldivar killed Selena, but 18 years later, in 2013, Typhoon Yolanda (namesake of Yolanda Saldivar) killed 6000+ people in Tacloban.

Effects in the Phillippines article
thoughts on a subarticle? Article is over 200 kB and information is better covered if subsection is provided. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 02:42, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. That would be majority of the article if there was a Philippines article. Maybe move more of the aftermath to Humanitarian response to Typhoon Haiyan? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:16, 22 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Meh. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 14:17, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I gave my thoughts and I felt they were perfectly cromulent. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:12, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Split?
This is crazy. 207 kB is waaaaay past the point we split. We either need to condense or split. This is unsustainable. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 23:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I suggest you read the above discussion, where I proposed a way of trimming down the article. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:19, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Have you read WP:SIZERULE? ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 14:16, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure if this is to me or the IP, but I want to point out that the size rule has to do with readable prose. Much of the 207 kb is table formatting and references. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:08, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * it's to the IP. Was pointing out that 207 kB of wiki markup isn't "waaaaay past the point we split" (readable prose is only 47 kB last time I checked). ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 09:31, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I've made a spelling change to the proposed new title. Certes (talk) 17:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose – We are not anywhere near the readability limit in terms of prose (article size does not matter here). And unless someone plans to significantly expand the content in the Philippines impacts sections, an article split is absolutely pointless. This proposal has already been put forth and shot down multiple times now. Unless something fundamentally changes (such as a large-scale content expansion, as I had mentioned earlier), this one should also go out the door.

Maximum rainfall inches
Do we need a template data for maximum rainfall inches? I researched on the internet and some of them say "11 inches", some "19 inches". We need actual maximum rainfall inches data that is confirmed by either PAGASA, or other verified weather bureau. Sarge Da2 (talk) 01:39, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
