2003 Atlantic hurricane season[edit]

Removal of one article from a current topic

This is just a formalism: the season was promoted with 21 articles but one of the storm articles was merged into the season article. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You guys should decide to remove all articles of the storms that have no causalities and damages of only $20k (like TD #9 here). Nergaal (talk) 20:33, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why? Sven Manguard Wha? 21:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this is the 2nd time we've removed an article from a topic. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:17, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep TD 9, it at least did real impact. YE Pacific Hurricane 21:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Danny and Nicholas are more debatable. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, Danny did no impact on land, though it did take an interesting path, but honestly, I would rather see Nicholas merged first (weaker, lower quality, path not as unusual). YE Pacific Hurricane 22:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't appear either of those (Danny or Nicholas) will be removed. So I believe this can proceed as planned. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly this is ready to be closed. Should I go bug Wizardman? Sven Manguard Wha? 20:29, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1997 Pacific hurricane season (3rd supplementary nomination)[edit]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/1997 Pacific hurricane season for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. Tropical Storm Ignacio (1997)

Well, here is another one, I'm adding an article to a topic this time. 1997 PHS was a record-breaking season, but sadly, I don't think any new articles can be made. Hope you like it. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:04, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yea, that should've been added a while ago. Support the addition of Ignacio. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:07, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, several issues are found in the book report. It's been a while since that topic has been maintained... Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 02:42, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Timeline is over three years old. It fails WP:ACCESS, WP:DASH... but it could easily be fixed. Happy to support when resolved. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:14, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Featured lists don't expire after 3 years, and determining if a list still meets the featured list criteria isn't our job here. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that is not really relevant to the addition to Ignacio. YE Pacific Hurricane 23:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well if one of the main articles (in this case, the list) is delisted because it's nominated at WP:FLRC, then this whole process is a waste of time. So if the main article isn't fixed, then I'll nominate it for delisting. Why not just fix the issues I've noted rather than promote a topic one of whose main article clearly isn't up to scratch any more. When I noted it was over three years old, the point was to draw your attention to the fact that it no longer meets our current standards at WP:FLC so it should be fixed. This is a curious process if no-one actually looks at the content of the topic, just the titles... The Rambling Man (talk) 07:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like User:TropicalAnalystwx13 has done a good job of fixing most of the issues here, so well done. Nice to see editors who wish to maintain the standards and not just collect arbitrary stars on sub-standard topics. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:30, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Crag martins (first supplementary nomination)[edit]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Crag martins for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. Pale Crag Martin

Split of Rock Martin necessitated new article for the new species Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:31, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not at all sure I've done this nom correctly, I'd be grateful if someone could check Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - looks good to me. I wonder, should there be a template that links them together, though? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:30, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you mean Rock Martin/Pale Crag Martin, probably not. All this group are very closely related, and it's possible to argue for any number of species from one to four, although better knowledge tends to lead to more accepted forms Jimfbleak - talk to me? 20:21, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
