Talk:Hurricane Julia (2022)

Should we rename this?

Hurricane Julia has been renamed to Hurricane Julia (2010), and this is more notable than 2010's Julia. Should we rename this Hurricane Julia? FilbertKaiserRoll (talk) 18:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Since there is another Hurricane Julia, we should not rename to just Hurricane Julia unless Julia (the 2022 storm) is the storm that retires the name. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

I agree with Elijahandskip, Unless this turns out to be the storm that retires the the name the article title ought to remain as it is. Drdpw (talk) 20:07, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

This should be renamed to Hurricane Julia because of the deaths and impacts because the 2010 one did little to no impacts. PopularGames (talk) 21:18, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Not how that works. Since there is another Hurricane Julia, we must keep it the way it is now until the 2022 storm is the storm to retire the name Julia. Elijahandskip (talk) 21:26, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Yep. But once spring rolls around and we get an official list of which names get retired, Julia article is probably gonna have to get renamed to just Hurricane Julia considering that the death toll alone makes it a likely retirement. Charzuchi (talk) 01:42, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

It may be more notable now but will it be in the long term? I wouldn't move it unless there is a retirement case. It's not a sure-fire retirement like Ian was anyway. CrazyC83 (talk) 01:42, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry and apologize me. But I think all of you have the same US-centrism as the NHC did with it's feedbacks on Facebook about this storm. Nothing, nothing and nothing was reported from that and you are doing the same, minimizing the damage that hurricane did in our country and elsewhere in Latin America. Look Trinidad, the landslide in Venezuela, flash flooding in Nicaragua including the capital where I live (the hospital where I work flooded as well). Three military died in El Salvador. Deaths in Honduras and Guatemala. Flooding in Mexico's Acapulco because of its remnants and TS Karl. Just only did not impact USA, it's not important to the community and has the same significance with 2010's Julia. You renamed Ian and Fiona as the important, but Julia? Nothing. As a proud old and retired member of this superb wikiproject, I know what I'm writing. Cyclones involve everybody not only US and Canada. Do not forget us. Latin Americans. And note, this is not sentimentalism of abandonment or things like that. It's just being fair. Regards. ✠ Byralaal (+505-chat-toMe) 05:13, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Byralaal: Your logic is flawed for Ian and Fiona. Prior to both of those storms, there was no previous “Hurricane Fiona” or “Hurricane Ian”. Both names had only been used by Tropical Storms in the past, so there was no reason for the year to be included. For Julia, we have Hurricane Julia (2010), so the year MUST be kept unless the name is retired, which at that point, it can receive the Hurricane Julia status. Same thing with Hurricane Katrina. There was Hurricane Katrina (1981), but since the 2005 storm was the one to retire the name, it got the main title without the year. No US bias with that, just straight, Wikipedia guidelines and logic. If there was a previous “Hurricane Ian” I would have been strongly opposed to giving it the Hurricane Ian article name unless the name was retired. Elijahandskip (talk) 06:20, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Hurricane Julia and Tropical Storm Karl.

Did Julia’s remnants contribute to the formation of Tropical Storm Karl? TheEasternEditer (talk) 23:46, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Julia might have energized the area of disturbed weather from which Karl developed, I am not a meteorologist however. According to Yale Climate Connection: An area of disturbed weather, positioned at the north end of a broad envelope of spin and moisture that had surrounded former Hurricane Julia, has now become Tropical Storm Karl.

Requested move 12 October 2022

Hurricane Julia (2022) → Hurricane Julia – This is now clearly WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as the storm turned devastating. HurricaneEdgar 05:25, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose: Per my comments to Byralaal above in the Should we rename this? section. Wait until the name is retired (if it is retired). Elijahandskip (talk) 06:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

  Per WP:COMMONNAME In Wikipedia, an article title is a natural-language word or expression that indicates the subject of the article; as such, the article title is usually the name of the person, or of the place, or of whatever else the topic of the article HurricaneEdgar 08:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support: The storm has made over >78 deaths, while 2010 incarnation has only minimal damage. I think when people thought of Hurricane Julia in the future they may only think about 2022 Julia. Thingofme (talk) 08:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Wait until the final totals for the deaths and damage have been confirmed. Would have said oppose and wait until Julia 2022 gets retired but there have been several instances in which a particular storm was deadly but its name was not retired (see Tropical Storm Matthew (2010) (although another Matthew would have it retired), Hurricane Earl (2016), Hurricane Hanna (2008), and the similarly southern-tracking Tropical Storm Bret (1993) which also caused havoc in Venezuela). Then again, there's the articles for Hurricanes Gert and Gordon, which were still moved to their present titles despite not being retired after their respective seasons for they were more notable than any other storms of the same name (including the ones from 1999 and 2006). Vida0007 (talk) 09:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support Retirements are not required in order to enact wikipedia policy on primary topic. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy so we could care less about the simple process of retirement. Is this storm far more notable than any other incarnation of Hurricane Julia. The answer to that is yes. The process of waiting until retirement for a storm to get the main title isn't one that should be continued, especially since a storm that wasn't retired may be equally or more notable than the one that was.

• Support: Julia from this year has severely affected many areas before and after its crossover, especially Venezuela as it has the highest fatality total from the storm. FilbertKaiserRoll (talk) 14:01, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose: per Elijahandskip's comment. Dede2008 (talk) 15:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support: per HurricaneEdgar's, Thingofme's, and Noah's comment Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 17:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Oppsose It is too soon to see if it will be retired. Felicia (talk) 17:31, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support Regardless of if Julia is retired or not, out of its three Atlantic uses this one is definitely most notable. If this Julia isnt retired and at some point down the line, another Julia causes more severe damage, we can always add the year back. Undescribed (talk) 17:54, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support: It doesn't really seem like retirements have been the policy for whether a storm should have a year in its name or not. Like Vida0007 said, Hurricane Gert and Hurricane Gordon both weren't retired and yet don't have a year, and I can think of another, bigger exception: Hurricane Klaus (1990), which was retired but still has a year in its name. Looking at the damages and impacts from these exceptions, it looks a lot more like they were based off of significance than retirement status. On top of that, as a point in favor of 2022's Julia, I will point out that on both Bing and Google if you just search "hurricane julia" the result you get for the Wikipedia is the 2010 storm, which probably isn't helpful for those looking for the most significant version of Julia, the one that at this point has at least 75 confirmed deaths. I'm not a Google engineer and I don't pretend to be, but I think dropping the year would let people access the relevant information more easily. Lastly, if Julia doesn't get retired and there's some more deadly/damaging incarnation years later, there is always the option of moving the page back here. For now though, I don't exactly see a point in keeping it where it is just because it hasn't been retired yet. WhittleMario (talk) 18:05, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support After giving this some thought, I've come to the conclusion that, when an article for the most recent named hurricane, tropical storm, typhoon or cyclone of any name is created, that article should be created without a differentiating year; the (xxxx) should be added to the article later, down the road if and when the name is used again. Drdpw (talk) 18:27, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Wait: Wait until death counts are officially confirmed and we have a number for monetary damages. It's a pretty impactful storm and a likely retirement anyways. But for now it's a little too soon to rename to just Hurricane Julia Charzuchi (talk) 21:49, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support Death toll and damages were much higher than the other articles involving Julia (one in 2010, and one in 2016, causing minimal damages and no deaths.) Sarrail (talk) 22:34, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
