Forum:Hurricane Hall of Fame/West Pacific 2018

@KN2731: Tip was previously inducted in the WPac Hall of Fame back in 2007. Although I don't have a list of it, Eric (SkyFury) said so in a reply to me many years ago (see above). Regardless, I've added a lot of deadly and/or destructive past storms to the list above. Since the WPac has had so many destructive/deadly storms in its past, I suggest for this basin's hall of fame, we vote for 20 storms from the list above, then induct 10 of those per year, and then we can each rank our own top 5 among the ten inducted storms. But I'm open to other suggestions if you have some (we could do 10-5-3 on the WPac like we're currently doing in the Atlantic, but again, let's discuss this a bit), also I may have missed some other notable storms for their death tolls and/or damages, feel free to add more.

 * I think if a storm/typhoon lasted for more than 15 days (like Wayne and Rita) or reached a death toll that is higher than 500 and a damage total exceeding $4 billion, it should automatically be inducted into the Hall of Fame. So far, I believe only Fitow, Prapiroon, Songda, Mireille, Hato, Rammasun, Maemi and Flo have surpassed the $4 billion mark, while there are several storms that had a 500+ death toll.

 * You voted for 33 storms Anonymous, we're not going to nominate or induct that many in one hall of fame season. I'm thinking we should either vote for 20, induct 10 of those 20, and we each pick our personal top 5 of those storms, or do the same thing for the Atlantic (nominate 10, induct 5, and vote our personal top 3). I'm open to some other suggestions, but 33 storms is a lot, and we would run out in a few years if we inducted or nominated that many, even for the WPac. Ryan1000 11:32, June 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. I agree that 33 is a lot. I lost count of my signatures earlier; my apologies. But my point in my comment is that there are several storms in that list that should be automatically inducted because of the records they set/broken, damage they caused, and their notability or historical significance. That said, the Haiphong Typhoon and the Great Hong Kong Typhoon should be included (if it happens). Same goes with Vera, Haiyan and Nina, and to some extent, Thelma.

True, but we don't want to enter all of them in one year, we can induct some notable storms one year, some more in the next, and if the pool eventually gets low, we'll induct fewer storms per year. Ryan1000 17:50, June 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * We need more people voting in the WPac before we do inductions and nominations too...we can't do it between just two users. Ryan1000 15:50, June 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Putting up 11 votes, haven't really looked through the 1900s though. ~ KN2731 {talk} 03:58, June 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * And added my remaining 9 votes. ~ KN2731 {talk} 07:43, June 21, 2018 (UTC)

2018 West Pacific Hall of Fame Nominees
I changed my mind on a few storms above, and despite the big pool, we fortunately managed to get 20 storms of the list above with at least 2 votes, so there's no tiebreaker round here. I'll go ahead and list those 20 storms below. Now, we each vote for 10 of these storms, and the 10 that receive the most votes will all be inducted into the hall of fame this year. Then, we can each pick our own top 5 among them, if you'd like. Ryan1000 19:04, June 21, 2018 (UTC)

2018 West Pacific Hall of Fame inductees
And we have our 10 West Pacific Inductees of 2018 (though to be fair I changed one of my votes from Herb to Vaemi). We can induct Herb later, also I didn't want another tiebreaker between Herb, Vaemi, and Morakot. So, without further ado: As for my personal top 5 most notable of these storms by impacts, I'd have to say: Ryan1000 15:42, June 23, 2018 (UTC)
