Talk:List of storms named Abby

List of storms named Abby has been listed by Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather as an Set Index Article (SIA). It is important to note that SIAs are NOT disambiguations. Unlike disambiguations, SIAs are intended to provide both navigation and information rather than just the former. Keep in mind that SIAs are subject to verifiability and thus content within them must be sourced as a result. If you can improve this SIA further, please do so.

The Category:Atlantic hurricane disambiguation pages and Category:Pacific typhoon disambiguation pages should be removed if this is a set index article. Andrewa (talk) 13:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

– We need to make all of the SIA pages identical in name and also able to incorporate non-tropical storms. The SIAs are lists of storms named X so they should be named that way. EDIT: The goal here is to move all these SIA pages to the correct titles and then redirect them all to lists of named storms by letter (mentioned in discussion below).

Please see the other hundreds of SIAs that need moved in [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Noah^Talk 20:16, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please withdraw this and keep discussion on establishing a naming convention at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones#List of storm names vs storm name (disambiguation). -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Most of these are disambiguation pages not list articles. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:20, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Rreagan007: Actually, all of these are SIA pages, which are lists. Noah^Talk 20:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Then per WP:SIA, they all need to "follow the style guidelines at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists", which most of these do not. As long as these are formatted more like disambiguation pages, they should be treated as such. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:00, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Rreagan007: would you be opposed to moving all of these pages and redirecting them to the list of named storms (letter) that Hink mentioned? Noah^Talk 23:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Strong support Actually what I support is to move them there, then redirect them to where they really should be: in List of named storms (A), List of named storms (B), ... to List of named storms (Z). Rreagan is mistaken; they are SIAs, they look like SIAs, they should be treated as SIAs. These SIAs are very poorly formatted, and it's so hard to make any full changes to them. I'll start a discussion on WT:WPTC about this. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 11:18, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support - instead of just treating them like DAB pages, we treat them like a list, which they are. Brilliant. Red Slash 19:52, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose – these articles are about tropical cyclones. What other storms may you be referring to? Names are only universally assigned to tropical cyclones. United States Man (talk) 02:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
