Typhoon Tembin (2017)Typhoon Tembin – Given the high death toll of 203, it is most appropriate this gets the main attention, as for one it caused more deaths then any incarnation of Tembin so far, and its the worst storm to affect Mindanao since Washi in 2011. Plus, the other incarnations had little significance. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 23:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @MarioProtIV: Your timing is funny, because the upgrade of the storm to typhoon status has rendered your move request invalid. In any case, high-casualty tropical cyclones are common in the Philippines and there is insufficient reason to make it the primary topic. Most people in the Philippines are going to look for "Typhoon Vinta" instead, leaving no compelling reason why the others English-speaking readers of the world will look for this one in particular.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:09, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the parameters to reflect typhoon status. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 01:12, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MarioProtIV: I would wait until next year when the retired names are announced. Should Tembin be one, I would take off the year, should not, then no. Typhoon2013 (talk) 02:45, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There have been many cases of not retiring typhoons with the high death toll. Please wait for the Typhoon Committee session in February 2018. 🐱💬 06:34, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I guess we can wait. Close this for now and we'll revisit this if the name is retired. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 01:13, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYI @MarioProtIV: the rule of thumb is that if a name is retired and it hasnt already got the main article, then it gets the main article and in my expierence, the WPTC admins move the page once we have proof that it has been retired.Jason Rees (talk) 01:51, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Hurricanehink and Cyclonebiskit: (either of the two) to close this since it is pretty obvious we will wait. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 22:51, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
