Sorry, but this one doesn't have much meaningful content. All this info is pretty much already described on the 1956 page. Support. -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 02:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

The content's better than most of the ones we've merged; with some work it could be passable. I dunno. Jdorje 03:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Plus, the storm is at least notable. Every other article that's been merged in the last two weeks has been short about a weak or fish storm. I say hold of on merge. Hurricanehink 12:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
