2009 International Series hurricane season

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

At first glance, this appears to be a collection of naming lists for the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane seasons. But a deeper look reveals the sentence, "the names Ana, Brian, Claudette, Danny, Erika, and Fred were used for the first time." Not only is this incorrect (except for Brian, which isn't even on any of the lists, and Fred, which really was used for the first time this year, all of these names have been in rotation for many years), but it also suggests that the article's creator was attempting to submit fictional tropical cyclones to Wikipedia; see here for a precedent. The utilization of fictional tropical cyclones in Wikipedia articles is accompanied by a high risk of readers believing that the information is real. As such, to prevent falsehood, I nominate this article for deletion.  Dylan 620  (contribs, logs)help us! 21:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
