I am nominating the 1959 Atlantic hurricane season for Good Topic because I feel it deserves that recognition, mainly because most of the articles associated with it were listed as Good Article within just the last 2 years. The exceptions are Tropical Storm Arlene and Hurricane Gracie, both of which are in relatively good shape, IMO. The 1959 Escuminac disaster is also listed above because of it was a severe storm in Atlantic Canada, directly related to the remnants of Hurricane Three. --12george1 (talk) 20:45, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think Arlene and Cindy deserve separate articles. Nergaal (talk) 21:19, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- Arlene is a rare May TS, part of the off-season GT, and Cindy did kill 6 people. That's pretty noteworthy. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:40, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- But of those 6 people only one was a direct victim. There were plenty of people dyning of poor weather conditions back then, so putting the 5 with the storm is a bit of a stretch IMO. Nergaal (talk) 06:29, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- What does it having to be direct have to do with anything? And no, they were not "plenty of people dyning of poor weather conditions". And Arlene was an off-season storm. As I've said before, they have enough content to exist IMO. I just don't see the point in merging them. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- I support this topic, BTW. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:28, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- Support nice collection of articles (I have previously checked them for basic quality standards). If User:Nergaal believes that items should not have separate articles then he should do more than just complain about it at this FTC. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:09, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- Closed with a consensus to promote to Good Topic. - GamerPro64 19:19, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
