Tropical Storm Washi (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Similar reason for my previous request to delete Typhoon Parma (disambiguation) and Typhoon Pepeng (disambiguation) as per WP:DAB and WP:TWODABS unless if this has other storms named "Washi" aside from those two. j3j3j3 ... pfH0wHz 08:27, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, primary topic with one other meaning capable of being referenced in a hatnote makes disambiguation superfluous. bd2412  T 20:15, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep The Twodabs standard isn't nearly enough to justify the damage caused by creating dead links. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:34, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete, it is blatanty nonsensical having a dab page for just two entries one of them being a primary topic. Better served by a hatnote. Cavarrone 10:17, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. "Tropical Storm Washi" is clearly the primary topic. Per WP:TWODABS, there is no need to have a separate disambiguation page. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  11:23, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete The appropriate dab hatnote has been on the primary topic article since 18 December 2011, the day after the article for the 2011 storm was created. It was added with this edit. When this disambiguation page was created ten hours earlier, it may not have been possible to determine which storm, if either, was the primary topic.  Hindsight is 20/20. It would be interesting to hear from, who apparently made the decision in 23 February 2012 that the 2011 storm was primary.  --Bejnar (talk) 15:51, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I have no opinion on the deletion or non deletion of this page, however i do note that there are several TC disambiguation page that could be deleted along with this page. There are only three links to this article outside of the links caused by the deletion process. It is worth noting that the 2005 version only caused a handfull of deaths where as the 2011 version caused >1000 deaths and the name was retired by the WMO's Typhoon Committee in February 2012. I would have made the call that this article is the primary one based on the retirement and WPTC Standards which generally dictate names that are retired get the main article. Generally speaking a retired name is a name that has become a general household name. There is also no article for Tropical Storm Washi 2005 yet - jsut a redirect to the 2005 PTS.Jason Rees (talk) 17:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
