The result was Delete: This is more suitable for Wiktionary, if in fact it would survive there; I will create a wiktionary entry for it and see. Tornado family is the closest I could find of terms in Wikipedia, and that has a loose definition where the tightly clustered members could be referred to as "sandwiches" but might contain more than two cyclones; so this is really a colloquial term used for media attention capture.

Non-notable neologism. This is what Wikipedia is not. -War wizard90 (talk) 00:20, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge to Cyclone Lam or Cyclone Marcia. I don't think this qualifies as a neologism. It is more like a metaphor, or one instance of a common meaning of "sandwich", which one dictionary defines as "something resembling or suggesting a sandwich... a plywood sandwich". If it was a neologism, to get its own article it would need secondary sources discussing the term itself, as opposed to simply using it. But it does seem to have been used fairly often in news reports about the 2015 cyclones in Australia, so perhaps the newspaper reference could be merged to one of those. – Margin1522 (talk) 12:55, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - ____ sandwich is just a popular idiom to describe x between two y. Does not look to pass WP:NEO. If it was coined and used to refer to particular historic cyclones, no opposition to mentioning it there. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
