Template:Annual readership

Since this has been rather consistent in the past few years around this time (edit warring in regards to when this article should be created), please refer to this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020 Atlantic hurricane season as it has been discussed in regards to this 'issue'.

For purposes of clarity, perhaps we should establish a standard practice at WPTC. TornadoLGS (talk) 05:27, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The standard practice is to make the article either at the start of the cyclone year, or whenever there is the first bit of info unique to the season (generally the first forecast), whichever comes first. Also, unrelated, but potentially subject of a future edit war: this season might start on 5/15. We’ll find out in a few weeks if the season starts then, or just TWOs.

The NWS sent out a message this morning saying TWOs will start on 5/15. Until they say otherwise for the starting date itself, that stays 6/1. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 18:49, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the same message, they said that the start date would still be 6/1. I think it is safe to say that for now at least, June 1st is the date that should be kept. 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 04:48, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely starts at 6/1. 🐔 Chicdat  ^{Bawk to me!} 11:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The season is expected to start on 6/1 unless they decide at the RA IV meeting that it should start on 5/15 alongside the issuance of the TWOs. Gumballs678 talk 21:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Asking before I start a potential edit war: do we really need to include the auxiliary list here? I understand we should mention the difference in policy the NHC undertook this year, but I feel the new list doesn't need to be shown unless the season surpasses 21 storms, and that linking to the tropical cyclone naming page should suffice.
