There was a discussion on the talk page of this article, with some general agreement for deletion. I figure I'd bring it outside the project, since nothing was done to it. The article is largely primary research, as the one source provided doesn't include any latitude markings, nor does it include more recent storms. There is hardly significant coverage, as there is minimal info on why these storms are significant (despite the article saying they are). There is no attempt to include storms from another basin, largely because it is impossible to do as such. The article does include one sourced storm (Ekeka) outside of the western Pacific, but there is no proof that there aren't others. To summarize, the list makes no attempt to be an accurate worldwide list and provides no evidence that these storms are notable. It's a bit of an indiscriminate collection and basic liftcruft. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:07, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, the only reason there is a recent increase in views is due to the well-known Typhoon Haiyan, which has increased views of a subsequent storm that was at a low latitude. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:09, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to respective articles that have the basin's records; alternatively, delete. Inks.LWC (talk) 04:56, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Long-worded but vague deletion rationale: the list seems a germane list of notable entries. It should actually be moved to List of near-equatorial tropical cyclones, since that is how the topic seems to appear in the academic literature (e.g. [1]). OR concerns are content issues that are to be solved by editing.--cyclopia ^speak! 16:36, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
