Talk:Hurricane Cindy tornado outbreak

Todo

Expand the lead, add in-line references, include a brief summary of the hurricane, but other than that, a decent start. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 20:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

• This looks primarily like a list. Shouldn't the article be renamed? Thegreatdr (talk) 20:46, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
  • It does indeed appear to be a list, but I've seen lists named without the "List of...", so given how long the title of this article is already, I think it should be fine. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 23:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Still working on it. Just wanted to get the bulk of the work saved. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:48, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I've updated the lead, added a summary of the event, and added a section on the Atlanta Motor Speedway tornado. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 23:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

This outbreak wasn’t very notable and Cindy’s article is quite short, it could be easily merged. If kept, I suggest it just be the Atlanta motor speedway tornado, similar to the 2013 Hattiesburg tornado 108.170.65.170 (talk) 14:53, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Strong oppose. A merge is not needed. It’s fine as it is. The system produced numerous tornadoes and a merge is unnecessary. IBlazeCat (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, but just because a system produces many tornadoes doesn’t mean it should be kept. And I think a merge is necessary because it would beef up the Cindy article which has low content currently. 108.170.65.170 (talk) 23:09, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

However, merging this would cause us to have to describe every tornado and its location in the article, which would MASSIVE influx of information that is better off left in a separate article. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 06:51, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

But we can always just add the tornado chart as Hink said. Merging doesn’t mean we can’t do that. Then we keep all the info and not make a fork. Win win! 38.108.217.140 (talk) 21:07, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

• Support – Both articles are kind of short, and I don't see a good reason why the tornado outbreak should have a separate article, given its length. As I've said before elsewhere, it's better to have as much information as possible on a given subject in one place. It's better to have one strong article than two or three weak ones. I think it would be a good idea to merge this article into Cindy's article, as that would produce a stronger, more comprehensive article, as opposed to what we have right now. All of the other hurricanes with tornado outbreak articles were lengthy articles that needed a content fork. This isn't one of them. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 21:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

  @Hurricanehink: Since you first suggested this merger a while back, I think you would be interested in this discussion. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 21:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

• Merge - the content can easily fit in the main storm article. I felt the same way when I proposed it back in 2018. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose I think there is enough information here to keep it. We still don't have a Tornadoes of 2005 list page for tornadoes so I think we should revisit this topic once that happens. There were 44 tornadoes here and I do not believe merging it would do the outbreak justice. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 06:48, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
