Nominator(s): Jason Rees, Typhoon2013

So me and Jason were recently just talking about bringing the article: Tropical cyclone naming to the FLC and I agreed. It sure does meet the criteria. Well, this is a list of names for tropical cyclones in each different basins and I believe it is important, especially for meteorologists. Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:50, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just to reiterate here I feel that Tropical Cyclone Naming meets the criteria for a Featured List as all names are sourced and the sections have an appropriate summary that is sourced. I asked Typhoon2013 to co-nominate it with me as he has had almost as many edits to the article as me.Jason Rees (talk) 15:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 10:35, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments strange to me that you've had to wait almost two months for any comments, hopefully mine will get the ball rolling.
    • Its one of those topics which can seem rather boring and trivial to most people, but hopefully we will now get a stream of comments.Jason Rees (talk) 00:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lists of tropical cyclone names is linked in the lead, but that just self-redirects so unlink it.
  • I would split the lead into two paragraphs.
  • Split.Jason Rees (talk) 00:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tables need to include row and col scopes and preferably captions to comply with WP:ACCESS.
    • Not sure how to deal with this comment - as a result I will defer to CB on this one.Jason Rees (talk) 00:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • WMO uses a z, not a s in its "organization".
  • What is " ₱1"?
  • " of 120W in " be consistent with the inclusion of degree symbols.
  • "A — Z" should be an unspaced en-dash rather than a spaced em-dash.
  • " 5°N - 25°N" should be an en-dash per WP:DASH.
  • ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee just redirects back to the WMO, is there a subsection link that would be more specific?
  • Contributing Nations -> Contributing nations.
  • Fixed.Jason Rees (talk) 22:03, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Typhoon Hanna (Soudelor) is an odd image choice as it links to Typhoon Soudelour, a name which isn't on the list.
    • Soudelor and Hanna are the same storm, we just put more emphasis on the usage of Soudelor for it since that's the international name. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "2015-16" en-dash required.
  • "The next named storm to be used within the area is Corentin." cite, and WP:ASOF. Check other instances of this kind of thing.
    • I am not a fan of having the next name to be used in the area stuff, because it is unciteable for most of the lists especially at the height of summer for the typhoon list. As a result I have removed them and I hope that my co-nominator @Typhoon2013: does not add them back in again unless he can source them all.Jason Rees (talk) 00:46, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You don't need to keep relinking the WMO, but please spell it consistently.
  • 90°E - 141°E - en-dash please.
  • Equator - 10°S ditto.
  • Please fix all other such instances.
    • I ran the dash checker which seemed to fix the dashes - if there are still problems let me know and I will fix them.Jason Rees (talk) 22:03, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Isobel [nb 6] remove the space before the note. Check all other notes.

That's in on a quick trawl through. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: seeing if I can help out with the table formatting...are the changes to the North Atlantic one appropriate? Style is a bit different than what I'm used to so just want to make sure before I move on with the rest of the list. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 00:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I think that works. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ok we have applied this to the rest of the tables.Jason Rees (talk) 22:03, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the Review :) @The Rambling Man:


Sorry to have to do this, but this nomination has been open for 2 months without getting a lot of support, and I'm going to have to close it down. Feel free to renominate in the future. --PresN 02:15, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
