Not surprisingly, this article is currently almost completely empty. I've no objection to this article being re-created next year, but it seems a little premature to have an article on the history of a future time (other than relating to a series of novels or films, say). Until January 1st it's destined to be either empty or crystalballsery. Grutness...wha? 04:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Why delete it, its not a big problem if the article stays. No-one will take the duty of creating it again in 2011. --Anirudh Emani (talk) 04:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- For the reasons I said - it's blank, and it invites people to make unfounded predictions. As to no-one will be bothered to re-create it, you'd be surprised. There are at least three wikiprojects which cover global weather, and it's part of an ongoing series (e.g., Global storm activity of 2009, Global storm activity of early 2010). I seriously doubt that there won't be someone itching to create this as soon as January rolls round. Grutness...wha? 05:11, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's way too early to create an article it specially when we don't know a single thing about it. As Grut said, this should be re-written next year otherwise it'll stay empty like a junkyard *no offense*. ♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 05:37, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The earth might be struck by a rogue planet and stripped of its atmosphere sometime in the next two months. (i.e. WP:Crystal ball) Steve Dufour (talk) 14:41, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Lists of tropical cyclone names, which contains everything that can be said about 2011 for the next 2 months. There is the naming problem in that due to article size and prior history it should be "early 2011", and should presumably be later redirected to that name. (But even the series itself is poorly managed because both 2010 article time ranges do not match their leads.) Ordinarily I'd keep an empty fillable article just as an inclusionist, but unlike the AFD on 2026 reliable sources just don't comment about this; Googling "2011 storms" was surprisingly sterile. Delete is a backup vote because per the (scattershot) series we really don't need this exact title, but I generally prefer redirecting everything to something, even if it ignores WP:EGG.
