Add and Rename

[edit]

Why don't we add Subtropical Storm Lexi to this article and Rename it "Southeast Pacific tropical cyclones" . I would make sense as Katie is similar to Lexi. Northatlantic320 (talk) 18:56, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No because if they were tropical cyclones then should be included in the relevant South Pacific cyclone seasons, however, since they are not and the warning centres for the region (BOM, MetService and FMS) do monitor subtropical cyclones AFAIK. However, they do not count them towards the cyclone season totals, give them specific advisories or give them more credit then they are worth.Jason Rees (talk) 19:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

[edit]

No consensus to merge. The discussion went stale years ago. Closing. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 10:01, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's two paragraphs. I propose we merge it and make it a specific sub-section here, at "Other systems" in the season article for 2014-2015. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:33, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose – There's also more research on Katie in some scientific journals, which I don't have access to at the moment. Given this storm's uniqueness and the amount of research on this storm, I believe that it would be appropriate to allow this system to have an article of its own.

Strong Merge As one of the main editors for South Pacific tropical cyclones, I have seriously wondered if Katie really deserved its own article over the last few years and my opinion is no. I feel that the article as it currently stands is bloated, disjointed and it would not surprise me if it contains some Original Research. Especially surrounding what that the marine weather warning centre for the region Chile did with the system, who did not classify it as anything more than an everyday extratropical low afaik. I also feel that there are a couple of so-called HURDAT records which may well be valid but are generally based on our interpretation of the various databases and or other sources. I would also challenge @LightandDark2000:'s assertion that there is more research on Katie in various scientific journals, since a geeeral search through Google Scholar is asking if we mean Subtropical Cyclone Katia. I also note that a general google search for Subtropical Cyclone Katie, brings up 77 sources but a large majority of these seem to be spin offs from Wikipedia.Jason Rees (talk) 00:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
