Timeline of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Isn't this just a copy of the main article? I don't see any need to have this when we already have a season summary in the main article. CodingCyclone (talk) 20:46, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose These timelines are a standard part of the tropical cyclones Wikiproject. You can start a discussion there on whether this part of the project should continue. I don't think it's completely redundant to have the season distilled to a bare-bones timeline. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well stated; it appears that the editor is not aware of how many TLs there are or of their purpose, not to mention how many are B-class or Featured List articles, and jumped from "why does this page exist" to "get rid of it" without first seeking understanding.Drdpw (talk) 22:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose – These articles are a part of the project, and while this one needs to be updated (and I have no doubt it will be once the season calms down), it shouldn't be deleted. United States Man (talk) 21:56, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support - I always saw them as a content fork. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 21:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - This general issue was discussed at length at Articles for deletion/Timeline of the 2000 Atlantic hurricane season. This timeline is distinct from the one discussed at Articles for deletion/Timeline of the 1997 Atlantic hurricane season, given that the current season is not a low-activity year.

 * Strong keep - If you want to delete it, discuss it at WP:WPTC, these timelines are vital to the project (I'm baaaaaack from vacaaaaation!) 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me!  10:01, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I understand why timelines are needed and see no reason to delete them... We cant show every status change on the main article. This is just an organized way of showing that. Noah Talk 11:43, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This article, like the other season TL articles, provides information about comprehensive information detailing the life cycle of each tropical cyclone of the hurricane season in a unique (“not found in other articles”) way. Drdpw (talk) 11:57, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep There's long-standing precedent for such articles and its purpose is generally to include detail that cannot be included in the main article.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Clearly the nom is not aware that such articles are a standard part of this WikiProject, any objection to this should be discussed at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones and not here. CycloneYoris talk! 20:46, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the nom only has 55 edits. Users in that low level of experience really can't do good XfD nominations. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me!  10:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, this covers a different level of detail than the main article (exact location, every category change) and is definitely not a duplicate. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 05:17, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep on grounds of long standing precedent for timelines (see XFD from 2011). YE Pacific Hurricane 17:32, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * KEEP Redundant to remove only one timeline article when we make them for most modern seasons. They also have purpose sooooo ~ AC5230  talk  17:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep – Long-standing precedent to create these kinds of articles. They are very standard and serve an effective purpose of breaking down the events in each season. Master of Time   ( talk ) 17:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * KeEp per everyone that said keep, these have always been in hurricane season articles, so no Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 19:12, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per everyone else. It's precedent to have a timeline. Rainclaw7 (talk)
 * kEeP, it's a pretty useful article and once we can finally update it to the present, it should be okay. I like hurricanes (talk) 02:13, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep for reasons listed by everyone else. It's a standard precedent to have the timeline page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * KEEP Standards!  SMB9 9thx   my edits  12:51, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This discussion again? Ugh. LOL! Please close it and make it a day. This needs to be kept so stop trying to get rid of it.ChessEric (talk) 17:02, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep timelines are a vital part of our season article package.  Java Hurricane  03:59, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
