This article may not meet the general notability guideline. While most hurricanes and tropical storms are notable, and are pretty much the easiest way to get a featured article into your edit history, tropical depressions such as this are unlikely to be remembered unless it was the first of the season, which Alex is and not TD5.

Strong Keep Storms don't have to be memorable its own article. This passes WP:N. Even then, a TC article should be merged not deleted. Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone 23:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep TD5 has significant enough impact to warrant an article. And would you please tell me where it may not meet WP:N? I don't see anything there that may come close to not meeting it. And as YE said, just needs impact, doesn't have to be remembered. Saying what I said in the talk page, not all hurricanes are notable, and not all TDs are non notable.

Keep. Just putting my two cents in, the depression had a rather interesting meteorological history, which is why I made it. No other storm has taken such a path over Louisiana, southward through Alabama, and nearly reforming in the Gulf of Mexico. Further updates are ensured, once its tropical cyclone report comes out. Additionally, it appeared in several news sources. --Hurricanehink (talk) 00:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, clearly and thoroughly referenced to reliable sources, meets WikiProject notability consensus (tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin automatically meet notability criteria, and are only reliant on sourcing for existence), satisfies summary style concerns for 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, and the deletion rationale is flimsy at best. There are multiple examples of tropical depressions with high-quality articles, so there is plenty of precedent for the notability of these types of storms.

Keep - There appears to be a decent amount of information to sustain an article. Dough 48 72 02:43, 1 September 2010 (UTC)\[reply]

Snow Keep This storm effected the gulf coast oil spil lrecovery effort and also effected a number of states with the after effects. I say this is notable. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:01, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
