- Agreed but this is more like it. This should be the standard expected of all hurricane articles in the future. They should be no less than this. This article is nice. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 14:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Removed "third-strongest" sentence
Hurricane Epsilon was the third-strongest hurricane ever recorded in the month of December, with a minimum pressure of 981 mbar (hPa); only Hurricane Nicole of 1998 and an unnamed storm in the 1925 season were stronger.
- This snipplet was removed from the "Records" section as dubious earlier today; is there anything backing this up? --AySz88\^-^ 18:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- The HURDAT does not give a pressure for the 1925 storm; so it cannot be said how strong it was (and it looks like the reanalysis will reduce it to a TS anyway). However now that I've looked through the data more fully the claim that Epsilon is number 3 is valid: Its behind Lili 1984 (980 mbar) and Nicole 1998 (979mbar).--Nilfanion (talk) 18:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: Pass
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I made a minor correction in the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
New format
Given that no one has complained yet, I am wondering whether anyone opposes how I re-formatted this article to be focused more on the meteorological history. Unlike other storm articles that have recently been merged, Epsilon is legitimately notable, based on the records it caused and its unusual meteorological history. I would like to move it to Meteorological history of Hurricane Epsilon, given that is its focus, but I'd like some feedback first. --Hurricanehink (talk) 00:50, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- In case anyone is objecting about the title, I would like to point out something. We have an article on Kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard, and Murder of James Bulger, not on the respective people related to those articles. The article title should be about the focus of the article, and given that Epsilon was only notable because of its meteorological history, that is how I believe the article should be focused. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Ref 20
Reference 20 appears to be misplaced. It's used to cite a discussion from Lixion Avila but the cite describes a discussion from James L. Franklin. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 02:20, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- Never mind, looks like someone merely copy-and-pasted the reference for Franklin's Discussion #20 intending to change it to point to Avila's Discussion #21 but neglected to update the pasted ref. Fixed now. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 02:28, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

merge
This article has 22 kb total, the records section can fit easily in season article and so can most of the information. Just because it was a meteorological oddity doesn't give it an article. --170.24.150.111 (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- The GA excuse won't apply as seen by Tropical Depression One (2009) or Tropical Storm Josephine (2008). --98.116.128.15 (talk) 14:30, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Support for similar reasons that Hurricane Epsilon in 2020 didn't get it's own article. ~ARay10⁽ᵗᵃˡᵏ⁾ 00:14, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support Epsilon 2005 was not especially notable, formation date isn't grounds for an article, if it was then every pre-season and post-season storm would get an article. If Epsilon this year doesn't deserve an article than neither does 2005. AveryTheComrade (talk) 05:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- merge from pretty much all other similar cyclones with Wikipedia articles eventually get treated, this one by logic would be to cut it. And don't you dare WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS me.--CyclonicallyDeranged (talk) 03:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment-3 for merging, 0 for keeping. --WesternAtlanticCentral (talk) 18:49, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Pinging @Jason Rees: @Hurricanehink: @Destroyeraa: @ChessEric: @Jasper Deng: @SMB99thx: @Knowledgekid87: @Drdpw: @Chicdat: @TornadoLGS: for their thoughts, feel free to ping other people who may want to have a say in this as well, you guys can't come to a consensus with just 3 votes. 🌀Weatherman27🏈 (talk). 17:52, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Neutral There are good arguments for either side. The storm didn't affect land or do any damage, but also was a rare long-lived December hurricane. I'll let thias play out - neutral. ~' Destroyeraa🌀 18:16, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Weatherman27: whats your vote? --WesternAtlanticCentral (talk) 18:49, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- @WesternAtlanticCentral: To be honest, I am leaning slightly towards merging the article, but for now I want to remain neutral and see what other users think before I make my final decision. 🌀Weatherman27🏈 (talk). 19:37, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- WesternAtlanticCentral, Wikipedia is not a place for voting. See WP:VOTE. SMB99thx my edits 22:07, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- It was a mistyping. WesternAtlanticCentral (talk) 22:31, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support Epsilon 2005 is not Zeta 2005 as far as I know about both of these two. SMB99thx my edits 22:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep 22kb is long enough for an article honestly, and I'd be careful merging into such large season article, my arguments about how we sholdn't merge Ga's into FA's not withstanding. Honestly I wouldn't mind an Epsilon article in 2020 either but that's moot point here. YE Pacific Hurricane 22:19, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Yellow Even: yes, but it’s non notable. Also, WP: OSE. WesternAtlanticCentral (talk) 22:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose – This is a notable storm from a meteorological perspective, impacts notwithstanding. Also, the article seems expansive in scope and is pretty well-written. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 23:35, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
