 * I'm not a fan of ALT2, as the Saffir-Simpson scale isn't official in that basin. Also, ALT1 is pretty redundant by saying Nabi twice. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:33, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

 * ALT4: ... that Typhoon Nabi broke 61 daily rainfall records in Japan? –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 16:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg for ALT4 (others struck). Article was promoted to GA on 3 July. Length, references and neutrality are all good, with no copyvio found on spotcheck of sources. The hook fact has an inline citation; although the source does not explicitly say 61, it only requires simple addition to reach that number so I believe it is acceptable per WP:CALC. QPQ not required since not a self-nom. 97198 (talk) 05:16, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
