1975 Pacific hurricane season

edit
Contributor(s): YE, Hurricanehink

Well, here it is. The 1975 season is not a well-remember hurricane season. However, two very notable storms occurred. The 1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane formed and dissipated near Alaska. Hurricane Olivia left 30,000 homeless in Mexico, and 30 million in damage. Sadly, several people died.

Both of these storms have article. Before something asks, all of the article storms (save Agatha) can't get articles. In the case of Agatha, it could get one, but is not an obvious gap due to lack of info.

I hope you like it.

As the reviewer for the 1975 PHS article, I'm not voting, but commenting. The main article is a bit weak on prose, I'd like to see someone copyedit the article first, as the writing is just passable. HurricaneFan25 14:45, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some articles have dead links in them. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 06:44, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All should be fixed. YE Pacific Hurricane
Comment The lede is a bit on the flimsy side..May I suggest expanding it to two paragraphs or so? Additionally, there are some deadlinks in the article, and in the "Storms" section, the storms' summaries are weak. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 16:03, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The lead is two paragraphs, good enough for an uneventful EPAC season, though I did add a tad more of content to the lead. The storm's summaries are similar in length to the 1973 Pacific hurricane season. Remember, this is EPHC era, so they are no discussions or TWO's.

The problem isn't the number of paragraph, it's the number of sentences (which is pretty scant). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Added a couple more sentences. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:12, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment From the position of an informed layperson (one who has lived through hurricanes but neither studies them nor writes about them on Wikipedia), the articles look fine. I'm reluctant to support however, because the fact that none of the regular Hurricane writers are expressing confidence in this. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I suppose I'll bring up the reason I haven't committed. Eventually, can there be a good topic on every season? Should the fact that the topic meets the bare minimum mean it be promoted? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:12, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
