Tropical Depression Ten (2007)
I'm actually excited for this one. I believe this article deserves to be featured, as it will provide a standard for future articles on weak storms. Thus, it will feature those such storms. This is the first FA nomination on a tropical depression, which is the weakest of all tropical cyclones. The depression formed near Florida last September, and quickly dissipated. It has passed the GA criteria and A-class criteria, and I personally believe it also passes the FA criteria. Though it might seem short, it is longer than our shortest FA, and the article is comprehensive in dealing with the topics associated with the depression. Here goes nothing. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Lede expanded. That sentence I clarified, as the convection was somewhat organized, but the overall structure, including circulation and outflow, was poorly organized. Fixed the next two points. For the impact section, I felt the need to have the Eustis tornado mentioned first, since it happened before the system became a depression. Then, I listed preps, which were followed by impact. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Alright, looking much better. Well done. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  10:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * Current ref 10 "David M Roth "Tropical Depression #10" is lacking a publisher. I believe it's NOAA?
 * In the real picky department, you sometimes put the author/publisher like Reuters first in the bibliographical entry, sometimes after the title. Can we stick with one system?
 * Sources look good. Links checked out fine. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Support with one little quibble.
 * In the storm history section, third paragraph, the verb in the first two sentences is "was forcasted" which is repetitious. Consider changing one.
 * Otherwise reads well to me. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. I got that. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
