Cyclone Xavier (disambiguation) → Tropical Storm Xavier – Per WP:CONSISTENCY and WP:PRECISE, we use "Tropical Storm X" once we have storm from North Pacific and Atlantic. B dash (talk) 03:32, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

• Reading that for the first time. However, the 2017 Eureopean storm wassn't a tropical storm The issue is, that "cyclone" is used here as a synonyme for cyclonic low pressure system not as synonym for hurrican or typhoon. oppose --Matthiasb (talk) 21:15, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support. As a non-dab set index article, it needs to be moved from a "(disambiguation)" title; alternatively, it needs to be made into a disambiguation page instead of a set index article. A solution for the problem of the 2017 storm would be to add a hatnote to this list: {{redirect|Cyclone Xavier|the 2017 windstorm|Cyclone Xavier (2017}} and remove that entry from the list of tropical storms. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

  (Another problem is that Cyclone Xavier currently redirects to Cyclone Xavier (2006). Either Cyclone Xavier needs to redirect to Tropical Storm Xavier or Cyclone Xavier (2006) (or some other article) needs to be moved to Cyclone Xavier. But that can be handled separately. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC))

• Support. The original title of this page was Tropical Storm Xavier (I know since I was the one who created it), but another user moved it to Storm Xavier, which in my opinion was too ambiguous and didn't seem appropriate; I then decided to move it to its current title: Cyclone Xavier (disambiguation) because I couldn't move it back to its original one. However, I don't think it's necessary to remove the 2017 storm, since at the beginning it clearly says "the name Xavier was also used for one extratropical cyclone" which therefore includes any storm that was not "tropical" per se.
