Delete article? Or keep this article?

Hi. Just like the topic: Talk:2013 Pacific typhoon season#Storm articles and what to do with them, do we really need this article? So we got two choices here, we wither delete this article since there's nothing really interesting about this storm, or we just keep it. If we are going to keep it, we need to copy the format of Typhoon Francisco (2013). Typhoon2013 (talk) 04:05, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to search tomorrow for some additional information impacts throughout the Mariana Islands. Most likely, however, I will end up merging this article into the storm season page. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 04:23, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If this article can be expanded (without bloating) by a couple of kb's, then, it should stay IMO. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 13:02, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Typhoon Dolphin was a powerful tropical cyclone that produced the first typhoon-force winds on Guam since Typhoon Pongsona in 2002. " mind linking to 2002 PTS at the end? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

" It had a poorly-defined circulation and broad rainbands, while low to moderate wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures favored development.[2]" link to atmospheric circulation due to its first mention here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that link is appropriate. That link talks more about broad scale circulations on earth, not circulations as small as ones in tropical cyclones. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Preparations and impact" to "Preparations, impact, and aftermath" since this section includes aftermath. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

" . Residents lost power and water access for up to two weeks. " appears to be a fragment. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean a sentence fragment? That's not the case. "Residents" is the subject, "lost" is the verb, "power and water access" is the direct object. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Passing just north of Guam, Dolphin produced the first typhoon-force winds since 2002 during Typhoon Pongsona.[1]" in Guam, right? You mention about Rota which is also north of Guam being the first typhoon winds since 2004? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I thought that was implied. I changed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Dolphin damaged 390 houses across Guam, of which 9 were destroyed" spell out nine. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm keeping it as a numeral because it's in the same sentence as "390", per WP:MOSNUM. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
