Merge?

I removed the GA nomination, as I want a real discussion on this. The storm did nothing. It produced minor rainfall, minimal storm surge, and no damage. Why should it have an article? How notable is the storm, really? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:20, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

It should have an article because it made landfall in the US. This article is 1) high-quality 2) it passes WP:N, so I see no reason why it should be merged. "How notable is the storm, really?" makes it seem like WP is paper when it is not. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:38, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

That is not a reason it should have an article. No notability is inherent. Tropical depressions that hit the US aren't automatically allowed to have an article. I'm not sure it passes WP:N. Just please stop being so dramatic about the merging and look at the storm, not at the article. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:40, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Notability is inherent in some cases. Landfalling US storms in the modern day (post-2000 or so) generally have significant coverage, so thus they are verifiable and Notable. And how does it fail WP:N? And how I am being dramatic? I am just saying my thoughts. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

That's an essay, not a policy, and no, I'd argue that TD 9 in 2000 shouldn't have an article. How is Don actually notable? What did it do? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:51, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Don is notable for its bizarre weakening prior to landfall. It also got significant media attention, so I don't see why it can't have na article. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
