The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: no consensus. It is clear there needs to be a broader discussion on how to effectively name and disambiguate hurricane articles, and this article needs to be part of that discussion. Right now, as with several other similar articles, there is no consensus for a move. (

Relisting comment: I agree with User:GPHemsley that this shouldn't have been raised as a separate RM while the other was in progress, but now that it has been, let us wait at least one relisting and see whether anything happens at the other discussion.

Support. It's the only *Hurricane" with that name, and a hatnote can take us to the dab page in case anyone is confused. Unlike "Tropical Storm Tina" (which includes Hurricane Tina), this is not an ambiguous term. —

Exactly! And not every tropical storm is a tropical storm, and tropical storms regularly strike in mid latitudes, not just the tropics. It's a nightmare. See the ongoing discussion regarding storms Ada and Stan, your input would be appreciated.

Support. While discussion at
Talk:Hurricane Stan and elsewhere is continuing, nothing that has developed there affects this RM. This is the clear primary topic of Hurricane Tina, see
Tropical Storm Tina where the target currently redirects. There is work to do at Tropical Storm Tina, but again that does not affect this RM.

Oppose. Ambiguous and less recognisable without the year. Typhoons and cyclones are the same thing. Tropical storms are too similar, a hurricane is a type of tropical storm. --

Previous closer's comment My close was reverted with a nothing less than non-sense rationale. Again, I will not reinstate it, since the reverter has requested and stated that only an admin is capable enough. See my talk page and this page's history for more context. QEDK (

"Non-admin closes normally require that: The consensus or lack thereof is clear..."[1]. At the time of the non-admin closing there were only two opposes one of which was on procedural grounds. In other words, a lack of consensus was not clear, so a non-admin should not close. Nobody said anything about anyone's capabilities or lack thereof. --
