Tropical marine climate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Overly specific topic. The exact term returns only 198 hits, and only false positives on Google Books. I was unable to find any sources covering this exact term. If anything is salvageable, merge to Tropical climate. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Tropical climate as that article is not too large for merging Atlantic306 (talk) 18:44, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep don't look like false positives to me. Nor does its use by the CIA World Factbook, the National Park Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, weather forecasters on Kwajalein, or the weather service of the Cayman Islands. Most of the 500+ Google Scholar hits on the exact phrase look, on a first perusal, to be about the topic of this page. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:54, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Important topic that could be expanded. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:07, 18 January 2018 (UTC).
 * Keep - Needs to be expanded, not deleted. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 00:04, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly (based on the references above, some of which I hope  will add to the article, please) a notable climate term, worthy of a page in its own right.  Nick Moyes (talk) 01:20, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've started the process of sourcing and cleanup. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Where are you getting "198 hits"? –dlthewave ☎ 02:40, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Entering the exact term "Tropical marine climate" on Google. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 06:09, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * That's odd, I got 11,600 hits for that search. –dlthewave ☎ 13:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Discussed in details in academic book Principles of Geography and per XOR'easter's additional sources. There are also sources right in the article. And this is nomination on false premise from the beginning. Number of google hits is not what shows notability. I just hope there will be solution to this wasting of people's time soon –Ammarpad (talk) 03:29, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Recognized and universally used climatic division, Scholar is your friend. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:37, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ammarpad and Elmidae Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep we should not delete articles about official climate designations, nothing could be more encyclopedic. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 15:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Google hits do not establish notability, and I have absolutely no idea where 198 hits came from. I strangely get more than when omitting the term wikipedia in my search. 35,300. Some sources have been found above, confirm the 'notability' of this climate (???).  ! dave  09:13, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
