Here's my views on what WPac names should be unretired and what WPac names I would retire.

I'd unretire:

Roy (1988) -

Vamei (2001) - I get that this storm affected Singapore, which rarely gets tropical cyclones, but normally 5 fatalities and $3.6 million damages wouldn't warrant retirement.

Mario (2014, Philippines) - One year off of Haiyan yet drastically pales in comparison.

I'd also retire:

Herb (1996) - Caused severe damage in Taiwan and China + 284 dead and 306 missing.

Winnie (1997) - Worst tropical cyclone to affect the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu and Shandong in 200 years.

Gading (1998, Philippines) - Killed 108 people, 70 from the Princess of the Orient alone, along with 80 missing and presumed dead.

Bart (1999) - Caused close to $6 billion in damages.

That's it for now on the WPac names.
