2004 Pacific typhoon season

I tried, but without a single authority to get watches from, too large an area, and it being in the past (thus limiting access to advisories; they exist, but are not easily readable) I figure we should kill this now. I might try again in 2005 or 2006, but this article has no present reason to exist. --Golbez 16:47, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Incomplete to the point of being misleading, and I don't want to hear anything about "other people will expand it". They've had fiveish months already and have barely touched it. A well-intentioned effort, Golbez, but I've got to agree that it just didn't work. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:35, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, too crufty for me. Wyss 00:45, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Well how about that. "1. Poorly built, possibly over-complex. The canonical example is “This is standard old crufty DEC software”. In fact, one fanciful theory of the origin of crufty holds that was originally a mutation of ‘crusty’ applied to DEC software so old that the ‘s’ characters were tall and skinny, looking more like ‘f’ characters." [1] And here I thought you were makin' words up. ;) --Golbez 02:08, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

I do think it's somehow related to crust... sometimes I picture random, obscuring crystalline growth, or dust under a bed. Wyss 02:32, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
