I know this is an FA (like Erick from 2006) and it contributed to formation of Katrina. But let us be honest, TD Ten is NOT Katrina, and the TD itself did not even touch anyone. Bottom line: miserably fails WP:NOTABILITY. Java Hurricane 11:42, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to the season article due to lack of notability on its own. Noah^Talk 17:40, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from principal author and FA nominator – it could reasonably be argued, particularly in the spirit of WP:NOTINHERETED, that this storm's association with Hurricane Katrina is not a sufficiently strong claim to notability. Where I probably would have felt strongly to the contrary when I created this page more than a decade ago, I'm prepared to reconsider my stance in the present. That said, I'm not entirely comfortable with a long-standing featured article being summarily nominated for deletion by a user boasting 59 mainspace edits, as of this writing, with no prior attempt to gauge consensus from WP:WPTC members or WP:FAR contributors. It's highly out-of-process. That's my biggest objection to this effort. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:56, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @Juliancolton, I would like to take the example of Erick from 2006, which was an FA but was redirected to the season page. We must remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia - it does not need unneeded articles about non-notable events. I agree I'm a new user, but I also asked on WPTC Discord if this page needs to stay while making this AfD, so I believe it is not really out-of-process. -- Java Hurricane 09:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect I agree with Noah on this one... article not notable enough for its current position...Mercedes-Benz - Talk here 17:20 [UTC], Wednesday 15th January 2020
Merge and redirect While I can see where @Juliancolton: is coming from, I feel that the project standards surrounding tropical depression's have tightened up over the years since this article was made. For example: we now put tropical depressions that have lasted for 72 hours, in an other systems section unless they have significant land impacts due to a lack of information. As a result, I do not see why Tropical Depression 10 needs to have an article.Jason Rees (talk) 12:58, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Leave The Article Alone I can see how you Wanna Delete It But It’s Not Really Harming Anything Either, I mean it could be useful Information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:547:C500:6750:EC8A:298D:F213:E81D (talk) 00:44, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Neither of those are valid reasons for keeping, unfortunately. Luckily, no information will be lost if it's merged with the season article, as it'll stay in the relevant section, and the current article will be kept as a redirect to that section. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:48, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect, stand alone article on a minor tropical depression is not needed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:31, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
