The third paragraph of the lead states: "Ida is the sixth-costliest tropical cyclone on record, and the fourth-costliest Atlantic hurricane in the United States". The link to "sixth-costliest" is to List of costliest Atlantic hurricanes".
A hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone, ... are all the same thing: tropical storms. But they are known by different names in different locations..
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Excluding the lead (obvious reasons) and the background (summary of the tropical cyclone up to this point), the size of this article is only 34,406 bytes. For comparison, if the appropriate sections for Louisiana in Hurricane Ida were merged, it would be 49,864 bytes, and it doesn't have its own article. Each subsection in the impacts section is smaller than the corresponding subsections in Hurricane Ida, which means the size of the main article likely duplicates most, if not all of the information in this article and would have little to no expansion.
TL;DR: Article size is small-medium and the information is very likely duplicate of the main article, which would barely expand it. ZZZ'S10:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose the content in the sub article is actually completely different then the main article if read correctly. If all of it were to be merged, it would push 8,000 words. I want to see how it would work out if it was fully merged, since again the content is NOT duplicative, before supporting. 107.122.189.21 (talk) 13:54, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After doing a little more research, I think it’s reasonable to say this article would fall in the 7,000-7,300 word range if the sub article is merged in, since again, most of the content is unique (the rainfall records, baseball game postponement, park closures and travel ban info is not in the main article), which is in line with SIZERULE, but would push it, and basically mean that we can’t expand the Ida article very much without having to spin it back out. 107.122.189.21 (talk) 20:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral leaning support - you have to consider what a finished Ida article would look like. The preparations are clearly lacking. There isn't that much more info about the northeast that would be added, since that covers such a large area, and most of those areas are already mentioned here. If we run into the issue of size, I think Louisiana would be an appropriate sub-article in the future, given the damage there, and the much smaller scope. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to split Louisiana sections into a new article
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
I believe the Preparations, Impact, and Aftermath sections for Louisiana should be split into a new article. The current size is creeping very close to 160k bytes. The specific sections I mentioned, when combined, are almost 50k bytes in size, which is more than the Northeastern article (about 42k bytes). Doing the math, the main article should reduce in size and maybe leave room for the Northeastern articles to be merged. Considering it significantly affected the state, it sounds reasonable to split the content into a new section. ZZZ'S17:40, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Yea, I agree that there is overlap for the Northeast US effects article, and that splitting Louisiana would make sure this article doesn't get too long. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
