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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
I tend to agree with Elijahandskip, the distinction between the cited examples ("Hurricane Fiona" & "Hurricane Ian") were not previous used as names for hurricanes and unless a name is retired, the article should not be renamed. Jurisdicta (talk) 16:22, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I think that the name "Hurricane Julia (2022)" should be retained. While this hurricane is arguably more important than the previous hurricane of the same name, older hurricanes shouldn't be unmentioned just because they weren't as severe; it wouldn't be fair to those who died in said hurricane. Coolman2917 (talk) 17:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
After further examination nobody actually died in past Julia, please disregard this comment. Apologies Coolman2917 (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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.
NoahTalk 12:51, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • Oppose: per Elijahandskip's comment. Dede2008 (talk) 15:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: per HurricaneEdgar's, Thingofme's, and Noah's comment Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 17:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppsose It is too soon to see if it will be retired. Felicia (talk) 17:31, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    Not sure why that is. A discussion should be started on that since it was THE storm of that name. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 14:16, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at the talk page, a discussion was started on that, last month actually. The result was a unanimous vote to not move it since it didn't meet WP:PRIMARYTOPIC due the 1984 version of the storm. WhittleMario (talk) 01:21, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
That doesn’t matter too much. Tropical Storm Hermine (2010) killed 52 direct, 50 indirect, and at least 100 presumed dead. It did not take on the Tropical Storm Hermine name, despite being much much more notable than Tropical Storm Hermine (2022). Elijahandskip (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hermine in 2010? Hmmm... Yes, it really doesn't. Sarrail (talk) 22:45, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Noting for discussion, Sarrail changed their support to the current oppose in this edit. Just making the note since the original comment was not struck but instead changed and the reply comments seem weird. Elijahandskip (talk) 22:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1) Same goes for Hurricane Hanna (2008). 2) Yeah, I was thinking of strikethroughing my text. Sarrail (talk) 22:54, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you're going to cite Hermine and Hanna, I'd also like to point out Gordon and Gert. Neither were retired, but they both dropped the year from their names. And also, retirement isn't even necessarily a sign that the storm should drop its year. Klaus is a great example, and of course nobody is clamoring for Knut or Adele in the EPAC to even get articles. There's a lot of inconsistencies with doing this based on retirement. WhittleMario (talk) 23:51, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Julia is not as deadly as either one of those storm. This is a typical Central American storm. I don't see why we should remove the year. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 18:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, 1985’s Juan (although it was retired after 2003), 2005’s Emily, 2010’s Karl, 2012’s Issac, 2019’s Imelda, and 2020’s Isaias and Sally weren’t retired following their seasons. DENBRO1995 (talk) 00:10, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, however if Julia is retired later this year or next year, then Support InvadingInvader (talk) 17:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eni2dad There is some storm, not being retired, may be enough of a primary topic, they are highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic. HurricaneEdgar 07:56, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support As per Undiscribed's reasons. Julius008 (talk) 12:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The effects of the current Hurricane Julia are significant whether the name will be retired or not. People aren't going to think of the 2010 hurricane when they hear Hurricane Julia. And like Drdpw said, the year can always be added back if a more significant Hurricane Julia takes place in the future. Fantasystic (talk) 13:57, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe not, but we don't know for certain yet how long this hurricane will be covered and remembered for; like was said before, "this is a pretty typical South American storm".
    If it becomes significant enough in after-effects to actually get retired, then sure, but the fact that the others were significant enough to have Wikipedia articles makes me think for now to oppose. Amyipdev (talk) 22:13, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support It just seems highly unlikely that a storm with possibly 100+ deaths doesn't get retired unless the nations impacted son't send representatives to the 45th session of the RAIV hurricane committee (like Gordon for Haiti). Poxy4 (talk) 22:34, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Why not wait until retirement then? Amyipdev (talk) 22:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Death in Venezuela from unreliable source

The article referenced for the number of death in Venezuela (https://www.urdupoint.com/en/world/update-death-toll-from-floods-landslide-in-1576900.html) is from a Sputnik (news agency) via UrduPoint News, a notorious Russian unreliable source. Either the number should come back to 37 with the previous source or a more reliable source should be found for the 43 death. Pierre cb (talk) 06:23, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done – per wikipedia:SPUTNIK. Drdpw. I have found a reliable source stating 43 dead. Drdpw (talk) 17:59, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
