Spinning off Storm Boris

[edit]

Storm Boris should be spun off into a new article. This is a highly unusual event which has caused significant damage to a number of countries in Central Europe. It's rare enough that windstorm names get noticed by mass media, and I'd go as far as to say it's easily the primary topic for List of storms named Boris based on either fatalities or property damage and suggest a WP:ITN nomination.

In addition, practically all of these events have impacted multiple countries, hence it makes more sense to organise them according to date or month than by country. Daß Wölf 02:18, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Due to the prominent use of "Storm Boris" in news articles and mentions of its uniquely catastrophic impacts, it would make sense to have a separate article covering the specific meteorological history and impact of the storm itself akin to other European and Mediterranean storm articles such as Storm Daniel.

I found out on WP:ITN/C that there's a second article about Storm Boris flooding, 2024 Central European floods. I've added a hatnote to the top of the article. Daß Wölf 08:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Central European floods

[edit]

How does this article differ from 2024 Central European floods? Should they be merged? 82.147.226.185 (talk) 14:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
