The impact of the storm is not really hard, only gusts, winds, rainfall and your other usual effects but WAY weaker. Also, some people in TS Philippe's talk page mentioned that this page could be merged. Nanchang17 (talk) 13:53, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think this storm, though short lived and weak, still should have an article since there was some wind, heavy rainfall, storm surge, and impact, though mostly minimal. It resulted in a school closing for several days due to damage so I think that can make the storm notable. VehicleandWeatherEnthusiast2022 (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I do believe Harold was notable enough to have its own article, even if it wasn't a necessarily impactful storm. Poxy4 (talk) 20:51, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I honestly didn't think an article was necessary here and felt like the creation would be another case of a storm needing an article just because it hit the United States. However, now that it is here and the info in seems to justify its inclusion, I don't really feel like it needs to be merged. ChessEric 21:02, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose i personally think this article is pretty large enough to deserve an article. the storm did bring some heavy rain and winds and issued multiple warnings throughout the areas

RainbowGalaxyPOC (talk) 23:34, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As author of this article. Easily passes WP:GNG and WPTC's notability guidelines. Information about its impacts are far too extensive to be merged into the main article. See my comments on the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season and Tropical Storm Philippe (2023) talk pages as well. Jay Tee⛈️ 12:11, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - still room to expand, while the season article is already full enough as it is. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 18:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the storm definitely had some impacts. The article is already big enough. 2600:4041:47C:400:C005:2896:839C:3151 (talk) 22:57, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per all, and this system while being short-lived, did cause damage to South Texas and areas outside of the warning area, so Harold's article should be kept for that reason. If it hadn't caused damage, then a merger would have been in order, but not here. tai (he/him) (talk) 02:09, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nevada fatality possibly as a result of this storm

@JayTee32: Should we add a Nevada fatality mentioned in this source to the article? It directly mentions Harold but the wording makes me think they might not be totally related, not even enough to call “indirect”. 108.170.65.170 (talk) 20:56, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the flooding was due to Harold’s remnants I’d say it could definitely be added as an indirect death. You also don’t need to ask permission to add the source to the article- you can be WP:BOLD and add it yourself :) Jay Tee⛈️ 23:37, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Nothing wrong currently! 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 04:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meteorological history

Use the {{rp}} template on source 1, the ~~first~~, second, third iteration, and the fourth iteration mentions page 2, so put that.
Convection increased over the northern of the wave After northern, add 'part'.
Remove the first iteration of source 1, since the second iteration is also after the source.
You can include some text in source 9 to Preparations and impact, since the ref is a warning.
Can you add another reliable source with source 17? The source does not follow the sentence clearly, just being a map. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 04:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheNuggeteer Completed first three bullets. Couldn't find anything in Ref 9 that wasn't already in Prep/Impacts. Deleted Source 17 after realizing it contradicted the TCR. Jay Tee⛈️ 05:00, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Preparations and impact

from the mouth of the Rio Grande river, at the Texas-Mexico border, up to Port O'Connor, The source does not mention this.

Added source that mentions this.IrishSurfer21 (talk) 15:26, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This source does not show the news article, it shows instead a page to "be ready" for a hurricane.
It would be better to use the {{rp}} template for source 1.
A light pole at a McDonald's restaurant was also knocked down. What's so significant about this? And even if it's significant, that you should make it plural, since the source states two restaurants.

Rewrote sentence and merged with previous sentence.IrishSurfer21 (talk) 15:26, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

threatening unhatched sea turtle eggs Can you explain why it's significant?
A portable toilet was blown over by strong winds on a Padre Island beach, disposing large puddles of waste. Authorities warned visitors to keep away from these puddles as they could be inhabited by snakes. Is this significant? Can a porta-potty be mentioned in a Wikipedia article?
Source 33 does not mention the campus.
There are two renditions of Source 3 in 'Elsewhere', you can remove the first rendition.
Add translation to source 54-56. DoneIrishSurfer21 (talk) 15:26, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:09, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed all points. Deleted the parts about the eggs, McDonalds and porta potty as they were trivial details. Adjusted repetitive sources. Jay Tee⛈️ 15:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concluding comments

There's a lot of local news mentioned in here, which shouldn't be mentioned in the article. Other than that, the article looks good, and can easily go to GA. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:09, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other comments

Will check the rest later. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 04:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer How's it looking? Jay Tee⛈️ 06:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer Please finish your review. You have been extremely active recently and yet have still not finished this review after nearly 3 weeks of holding it. Not only that, you have taken on several more GAN reviews since then, which make your actions appear negligent. Please do not take on GA reviews if you are not willing to take on the time to complete them. TheBritinator (talk) 00:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sigh.. Finally done with the review, you can answer the comments. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:09, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Five bullets are still uncompleted. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 12:08, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer And I just got to them. Everything should be addressed now. You mentioned local news sources should be removed, is there a specific reason why and if so, which sources do you think should go? Jay Tee⛈️ 15:37, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
