Hurricane Orlene (1992)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

With the recent debates about getting rid of low-quality articles in WP:WPTC, I am listing a more controversial case. Hurricane Orlene was a Category 4 hurricane and took a long track. It then made landfall in Hawaii as a tropical depression, a rare occurrence, but it had been expressed before by other members that notability is not inherited. In addition, the article is quite bad, rated start class. While I do feel it can be expanded, it may still be comparable to the average WP stub/start class article (WPTC articles tend to be shorter than most articles). Hurricane Eugene (1993) also exists and is similar to this one, but the article is better. It is debatable.

 * Redirect to 1992 Pacific hurricane season. Flash flooding, especially in the CPAC areas, isn't all that uncommon. The rain might seem heavy to some people, but since there was no impact, and although it was an intense storm, the impacts were minimal/none overall.  HurricaneFan 25  15:43, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't necessarily agree with the nominator's rationale, but it is barely notable and relies solely on NHC sources.  Auree    ★  15:49, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect. There was no point for the AFD, since it could easily be handled as a merge. The article only has sources that are close to the event (NHC and CPHC both issuing advisories). The only thing it did was drop rainfall. That is too minimal to warrant having an article. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:15, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Mmm, I'd rather merge it than delete it. If I miss the article and there will be no history. Why do deleted and moved pages don't show history? I hate both merging and deleting, but just to say, merging is better than just delete it. Jeffrey Gu (talk) 21:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect -- YE, you're nomination articles for deletion for no reason now. There was no reason to send this through the AfD process. -- TropicalAnalystwx13  (talk)  22:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Support --I certainly agree with TropicalAnalystwx13. No reason to delete. Jeffrey Gu (talk) 23:56, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep  I do not understand the relevance of notability not being inherited--if at any point in its course the storm was notable, it remains so. How to arrange the material may be a different matter., as always.   DGG ( talk ) 06:11, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
