Size
Been hearing that this storm is apparently 1,200 miles wide - nearing the size of Typhoon Tip.
Should this be included in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.73.199 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's not a typhoon, so it wouldn't be an apples to apples comparison. Thegreatdr (talk) 17:50, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Formed
Formed on 10 February (infobox) or 11 Feb. (body text)? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:57, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Comparative strength
Can anyone who wants to add either version of these edits[1] pleae stop doing this, or provide a reliable source about Dennis claiming this? Per WP:SYNTH, we may not add such "facts" based on older reports only, but without anything backing it up for the current storm (if it is true but no one reliable has reported it, it is WP:UNDUE anyway to include it). Leaving this out of the article is not a problem: edit warring over it with no or outdated sources ("outdated" for this 2020 storm) is not right though. Fram (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's at least a tie for third deepest since 1986...but other deeper storms impacted northwest Europe before that which are referenced in the European pressure extremes article. Best not refer to Braer in the article, though adding it in as a See Also isn't a bad idea. Thegreatdr (talk) 17:54, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Use of American (unofficial names)
The names of these storms is confusing enough without adding private weather company naming schemes from the US into the mix so prominently. the name Mabel is a minor footnote, Victoria according to the FUB is by far the more widely used synonym.Lacunae (talk) 17:15, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
