Category 5 Pacific hurricanes

Fails criterion 3.b as Hurricane Lane (2018) and Hurricane Willa are not WP:GA, are not being worked on, and are past the three month grace period (the official National Hurricane Center reports were both released on 2 April 2019[1][2]).

Comment - In Lane's case I would argue that the final tropical cyclone report is not yet out (see Page 1), since the CPHC has not yet completed its analyses of Lane in the central Pacific where it peaked.Jason Rees (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is out now. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 18:23, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Remove~~, even if some allowance for timing was made for Lane, Hurricane Willa is not a GA at this point. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:14, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MPJ-DK: It has been a month since you posted this, but KN2731 just added around 16 kB to the article, moved from a page called GAN prep. Seems like it will be at GAN soon. Kees08 (Talk) 19:20, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I asked KN2731 if he could merge the content that Oof-Off and I worked on and use my research to expand the article. With my research and the new sources KN finds, it should be up for GAN in the near future. Btw, I nominated Lane for GAN. Noah^Talk 00:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kees08: I am not seeing Hurricane Willa nominated for GA? Am I seeing that wrong? Since it's not even a GAN and we're two months past the 3 month window, I am afraid my comment stands. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:44, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MPJ-DK: Usually in cases like this, an extension can be made as long as articles are actively being moved towards satisfying the requirements. Lane is at GAN right now and Willa should be there in short order. Noah^Talk 03:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am all for extensions being made, the removal candidate does not seem to have a lot of support, so I have no problem with giving the authors a reasonable amount of time to get it to GAN. Whatever ya'll think is "reasonable" MPJ-DK (talk) 03:16, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the delay, KN's laptop broke at the end of February and it appears to be fixed now so he should be able to resume work on the article. It appears he has quite a bit of information prepped for the article now. Noah^Talk 17:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well Hurricane Willa is still not (at least) a GAN, and the last edit to the page was two weeks ago. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 08:53, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now a GAN.... Also note the plan is to FAC Lane once my current FAC is finished. Noah^Talk 11:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MPJ-DK and Armbrust:

Now Willa is a Good article... Again, I am waiting for Tropical Storm Ileana (2018) to get through its FAC so I can nominate Hurricane Lane (2018) (one of the articles in this topic) for FAC. Noah^Talk 14:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - looks like all are GA or better now. MPJ-DK (talk) 16:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Armbrust: Could you please keep this open pending the result of the FAC for Lane? Noah^Talk 15:01, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the director for Featured Topics. Could have asked me. But I can keep it up until the end of the FAC. GamerPro64 22:15, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This should probably continue as a supplemental nom, now that everything is at least GA. GamerPro64 What do you think? Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 21:56, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah we can do that. Depending on whether the FAC passes or fails we will have to see if it retains its Featured Topic status. GamerPro64 22:09, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, the supplemental nod includes Hurricane Lane (2018), Hurricane Walaka, and Hurricane Willa. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:55, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GamerPro64 and Hurricanehink: Excited to say that Lane passed FAC today! Noah^Talk 22:20, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok great. Closing this nomination and adding Hurricane Lane (2018), Hurricane Walaka, and Hurricane Willa to the topic. GamerPro64 03:11, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
