I found many references about Danny (more informations, rainfall amounts from the storm in South Carolina and Georgia). I'll update the article later. 🌀HurricaneParrot🐦12:04, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Beraniladri19: It's not a good idea to deliberately make copy-paste moves, since this just wastes more administrator time than just deleting the target redirect page (and histmerging is also logged in the merge log, not the move log). Administrators will gladly delete a redirect under CSD G6 in order to make way for a move. Chlod (say hi!) 15:35, 30 June 2021 (UTC) (please ping on reply)[reply]

Tropical storm Danny was not really that notable. Danny was very short lived and weak. The damage was very minimal and insignificant. I don’t think the article is needed anymore IBlazeCat (talk) 23:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – This article has enough information to stand on its own, and while it may not have been very notable, it was a notable storm and passes WP:GNG. This article contains too much information to merge into the season article without losing key information, and at least one editor (User:Destroyeraa) has told me off-wiki that he can find enough information to get this article to GA.

Oppose The IP's point There is a significant amount of information; that is what "notable" means. There is a significant amount of information, therefore Danny is notable. 🐔dat (talk) 11:24, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but my neutrality comes from WP:INDISCRIMINATE. And there have been good and even featured articles which have been merged due to a lack of notability. Besides the TCR, I couldn’t find any WP:LASTING coverage, and the TCR comes out for every storm. Tropical Storm Mindy doesn’t have an article, it was shot down after a discussion. Danny just feels like another Mindy. Merging would cause a severe loss of information, but articles shouldn’t just be fluffed either. 209.201.121.4 (talk) 15:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Impacts provided are just WP:ROUTINE coverage that happens with every storm that affects land, which doesn't make them notable. Yes, Danny may meet GNG, but so does every other tropical cyclone that's existed. For a TC to have an article, its impacts should be notable and different from others, and a few thousand dollars in damage, rain, power outages, and flooding isn't something people will remember. Tropical Depression 08W (2021)'s article is similar to Danny's in amount and type of impact, and since 08W's article got merged, I don't see why Danny's shouldn't be either.

We don't get to pick and choose what's notable and what's not notable. Danny requires an article because of the information provided to us via its TCR. Removing the article would not only bloat the main article, but would then force us to remove important information. There's enough information in the article for it stand on its own. I agree with LightandDark200 and Oppose the merge. Gumballs678talk01:48, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd argue that the impacts can easily get compressed into a few sentences, e.g. "Several warnings were issued for parts of South Carolina. Ten people were rescued in North Carolina, with a weather station recording gusts of...". The specifics of what warnings were issued where aren't important information. 08W's preparations and impacts were arguably more detailed and harder to compress than Danny's, and yet it got overwhelming consensus to merge for much of the same reasons I provided above. Akbermamps02:46, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. The content can easily be condensed into a two paragraph section for the season article. There isn't enough content here to sustain the article. As another user said to me online, there are average thunderstorms that were worse than Danny. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per LightandDark2000 and HurricaneEdgar. Arthur was a tropical storm that almost never hit land (except for the weak impacts in North Carolina) and even was promoted to a GA. Severestorm2820:45, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Indifferent While there could be a chance that the article could be promoted into a GA, it's heavily unlikely. I'd say that, depending on the quality, the article should be kept. Otherwise, a merge is more useful. Mobius Gerig (talk) 09:46, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge. Although there was a fair amount of media coverage, I'm not convinced that an article for Danny is justified, as it was, according to the TCR, a "small tropical storm" that "caused no significant damage." As others have said, the contents of the current article can easily be stated in a couple paragraphs in the storm's section of the season article. Drdpw (talk) 16:14, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At 06:00 UTC on the next day, the system further strengthened into a tropical storm, attaining the name Danny east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina. awkward wording
