Talk:Typhoon Nangka (2015)

Merger proposal

IMO this article should not exist but to merge into the season article/2015 PTS article. This is because of short information within the article and citations. Also there are many storms which make landfall over a country and have significant damages which do not have an article like Typhoons Songda in 2004. What do you guys think?

• Oppose because it clearly meets WP:GNG.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:52, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
• WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Songda honestly needs an article, but that has nothing to do with Nangka. Pretty sure there's enough possible content for a stand alone article here. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 07:06, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
• I'd give it a bit more time, but this doesn't seem to be an exceptional storm when it comes to its behavior. As a result, I don't think a Meteorological history-dominated article will do, so I suggest that rather than opposing a merge and leaving the article in its current not-so-great state, expand the Preparations and impact section. Dustin (talk) 15:56, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Either could work. I mean the storm did last two weeks, even though it's MH was nothing atypical. But It's likely more viable to add impact. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:19, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
• I added some Marianas Islands stuff, upped it to start. Definitely should not be merged. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose merge per WP:GNG, as brought up by Jasper. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 07:04, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Ok. Keep the article. I will remove the merge sign at the top of the article. Typhoon2013 (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

I've worked on the article for the past few days. It's borderline notable enough, but I've found enough info to justify keeping it. I rated it as B-class for now, pending JMA's final BT, any NCDC report, or any additional report from Japan. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Importance

Now that the article is done, is this more low importance? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:13, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

I went with low, given the low damage. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:58, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

@Hurricanehink: IMO it looks like that this article is at GA rating. From me merging this article to keeping this article with a higher rating than C, impressive! Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:58, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I just gotta wait for any additional potential info. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 12:09, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

• "Typhoon Nangka was a large and strong tropical cyclone impacting central Japan in July 2015. " to "Typhoon Nangka was a large and strong tropical cyclone that impacted central Japan in July 2015. " ("cyclone impacting" just does not sound right). YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Done (an anon actually did it). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• "Effects were worst in Japan" wouldn't it be "worse" in Japan? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• It compares the effects everywhere, so it would be "worst" since it compares several things. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• "where heavy rainfall reached 740 mm (29 in) in Kamikitayama, Nara Prefecture." "heavy" and the amount just seems redundant. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• OK, removed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• "On July 6 after shear diminished, Nangka began to quickly intensify as it developed an eye in the center of the blossoming convection." wikilink eye. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Done. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• "Nearly half of the nation's capital, Majuro, were left without power." shoudln't it be was since "nation's capital" is singular?

• Yes, done. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• "Some coastal flooding was also noted,[27] causing crop damage.[28]" the noting of flooding caused crop damage? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Changed :P ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• "Across Japan, strong waves and high winds killed over 11,000 tons" imperial or metric? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Neither, whoops. Talk about WP:OR. o.O ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
