Big trivia dump of everything that mentions a tropical cyclone. Largely unsourced, full of original research, loosely associated topics. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Actually pretty well sourced for a page of this type. Has a distinct theme outlined at the beginning and running through the lists (it is hardly a "trivia dump", as many, if not most, of the works mentioned are referenced by the NOAA itself in its own page on fictional tropical cyclones). bd2412  T 20:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Well sourced, contains prose, and hardly a "trivia dump" as the nominator suggests. As with most articles, it could use some work but that is hardly a reason for deletion. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 23:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's got a lot of detailed, referenced information, so I don't see any reason to get rid of it. GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 00:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep has US government source discussing at bottom, is well structured and written with prose. Could do with more sourcing but that is not a deal-breaker. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Some of the content lacks sources, but I see the appropriate Unreferenced tag. This articles really isn't all that bad, since there is prose and it is not just a list. The article subject itself is sounds quite notable. On a related note, feel free to dig though Category:In popular culture and Category:WikiProject Popular Culture articles by quality if you're anxious to delete some IPC articles with nonnotable subjects. There is more than a few. -- Nick  Penguin ( contribs ) 03:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
