Didn’t Hurricane Dorian have a huge impact in South Carolina or Georgia or wherever? Why are they not sub articles? 170.24.150.52 (talk) 12:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC) 170.24.150.52 (talk) 12:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an edit request. --Yamla (talk) 12:59, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can it still be downgraded @Yamla? 2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:AA (talk) 23:31, 8 March 2020 (UTC) I wanna edit it.[reply]

This is not a place to discuss random facts that have nothing to do with the article. United States Man (talk) 00:19, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement postponed + what it means

Given that the convention this year for retiring names was cancelled because of the ongoing pandemic, this puts the usual retirement section added around this time in an unusual position. However given that they did have a full section on Dorian, it seems they are very likely considering retiring it come 2021. That said, I propose perhaps we could have a “Likely retirement” section where it states that Dorian would very likely be retired given the damage and topic at the convention, although this could be breaching WP:OR. However given the current situation we could likely make an exception. Any thoughts regarding this please respond. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 01:00, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was having the same OR thoughts while reading this before I got to the part where you mentioned it. I believe this would be considered speculation on our part, even if that speculation has plenty of ground to stand on. United States Man (talk) 01:30, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to venture into OR territory. Just find a source saying the conference was postponed and add it to the article. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 02:25, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Alabama considered mentioned in the everywhere else section

The fact that Alabama wasn't impacted doesn't seem to affect the article or the storm, as other states besides Alabama weren't affected as well. DNVIC (talk) 02:49, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
