1999–2000 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 1999–2000 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was very destructive for southern Africa and Madagascar. There were nine named storms, of which four reached tropical cyclone intensity, or with maximum sustained winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph). The most notable storm was Cyclone Leon–Eline, which lasted 29 days, the longest on record in the basin. It struck both Madagascar and Mozambique, causing the worst disaster in the latter country in a century. Cyclone Hudah struck the same areas about a month later. Cyclone Connie dropped torrential rainfall on Réunion. Both tropical storms Astride and Gloria also struck Madagascar during the season.

The main article is one of the worst seasons on record in this basin. A few of the storms have articles, which are included here. One of them, Leon-Eline, was the longest on record, so I split off an article just about its meteorology history so the article could be better focused on the devastating impacts. Hope you enjoy it (and the paragraph thing isn't too long)! --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:02, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Support looks fine, but the text could perhaps mention that were 9 storms, or perhaps 4 cyclones (largest of which were these 3). Also, you guys think you will ever find a method to split all tropical storms together by year? Or perhaps at least 2 lists, one for N and one for S. Nergaal (talk) 04:07, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Added that bit to the description, good call. As far as doing it by year, we were toying with that for 2002, which is the closest we've come to having a parent topic to all of the seasons. The problem is that there isn't a good article format for something like Tropical cyclones in 2002. There wouldn't be much additional info to make an article in the first place. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:48, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delegate Comment - It's been almost a month since this nomination started. While there has been a support made to this topic, there needs to be more discussion made here for a consensus. GamerPro64  23:06, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. Something something, superlative work, something something, disappointment over the fact that we don't have nearly this good a level of coverage of any other topic except battleships (TROP has 136 FAs and 736 GAs with 3,772 articles tagged, VOLC for example only has 30 and 51 with 4,482 articles tagged), end in support.
