2020 Hyderabad floods → Deep Depression BOB 02 (2020)Deep Depression BOB 02 (2020) – The floods were caused solely by the depression, unlike the January 2009 Fiji floods, which were caused by several factors. Hence, I think it should be moved there. Tavantius (talk) 18:19, 31 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 19:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose as the floods were what the storm is more commonly known as.74.101.118.218 (talk) 21:31, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: WikiProject Weather/Floods task force and WikiProject Hyderabad have been notified of this discussion. Tavantius (talk) 21:34, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. The rationale given has no basis in our article title policy, so no case to answer. Andrewa (talk) 21:47, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, I nominated it for moving due to WP:NWEATHER, which states that "However, it is worth looking at the overall weather event at times and seeing if the content is best served elsewhere. For example: January 2009 Fiji floods instead of Tropical Depression 04F (2008–09) and Tropical Depression 05F (2008–09)." Tavantius (talk) 22:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:NWEATHER is not a policy or even a guideline, it's an essay that was proposed for acceptance as a Policy, Guideline, or Process but that proposal was withdrawn after the !votes there were nearly all negative.

  Like many essays, it reads rather like a policy, but it's not, it's just the opinion of a small group of Wikipedians, and while I think that it is helpful advice, again like many other essays and hopefully including the many I have written myself, it can't be relied upon in the way a guideline or policy can be. In that it has been proposed and rejected, it ranks close to bottom (again like some of my own proposals).

  Does that help? Andrewa (talk) 00:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I note this page has been moved from Deep Depression BOB 02 (2020)Deep Depression BOB 02 (2020) and 2020 Hyderabad Cyclone2020 Hyderabad Cyclone. Hopefully this RM will lead to stability, so it would be proper to also consider moving back to the other title at this point. Andrewa (talk) 22:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
