Class of article

This has enough info to be a B, but I left it as start because I think the organization is inferior and I'm sure there's more info to be found on the India impact. Jdorje 03:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, how about now? íslenska hurikein #12 _(samtal) 15:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now the main problem is lack of information. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've dropped this to a stub. The infobox states over 1000 casualties of which 69 were in India and 91 further casualties are identified. I would not a few deaths were in an unknown location, but 85% of Gay's deaths are unaccounted for. Where were they and how come that location is not mentioned in the article at all?--Nilfanion (talk) 20:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually according to the PDF it were only 39 in India. The ones missing were those in Chumphon (458) as well as about 600 fishermen in the Gulf of Thailand. I have added these into the text. andy 20:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the black and white pictures are pretty, and need replacements. Here is a shot of the storm before its Thailand landfall, though the Indian landfall might be a little hard. Hurricanehink 20:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Went back to start class, since over half the deaths are accounted for now, and we have inline references now. Thegreatdr (talk) 00:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I pulled this from IBTrACS[1]. I thought this needs to be fixed as it would be too confusing for readers to say that the 1999 one and Gonu were both stronger than this storm. However, 960 is a great deal higher than 898. These sources aren't New Delhi either, unlike the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone I already changed. Potapych (talk) 15:31, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
