[edit]

There isn't too much useful content here. It was a long-lived, weak tropical storm, that caused minimal impacts. The article doesn't justify having so much information for such a weak storm. Just because there is information, doesn't mean there should be an article - the information here could be easily summarized and put into the main season article (which is where weak storms like this generally have their content, not in a separate article). Therefore, I believe the article should be merged. I already moved over the info from the impact section (which was missing in the main article), but I don't believe there is much from the MH that should be merged over. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:47, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was long-lived, I feel that makes it notable. Jdcomix (talk) 15:02, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nicole later in the season was even longer-lived, but it also had disruptive impacts. Karl barely affected anyone. It's not whether it's notable or not. There's just not enough independent content to justify having a separate article, when all of it could fit in the main article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:14, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jdcomix: @Hurricanehink: Sorry but I agree with Hurricanehink here. Karl hardly had any impacts, and saying that we should keep this article because it was long-lived doesn't really make sense. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:40, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioProtIV, Hurricanehink, Jdcomix, and Typhoon2013: Boldly merging per reasons above. ~ KN2731 {talk} 09:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
