• Remove the hatnote and add the dab page in the see also, as the title is not ambiguous, see WP:HATNOTE I believe. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• Can you mention an exact formation date in the lead? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• "However, its remnants combined with an trough and front over California," were there two separate low pressure systems or? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

  No harm in mentioning them both. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 04:35, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• "A few hours later, forecasters at the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center observed the system's small eye for the first time via visible satellite imagery." you forgot to cite the MWR here. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• "A second aircraft reconnaissance plane investigated Norman around 18:00 UTC on September 3, and the storm was operationally downgraded to a Category 2 hurricane as its inner core became ill-defined.[1]" the Cat 2 bit is not backed up by source. Source says that pressures supported 90 knots but the storm was never assigned such per HURDAT. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

  Ehh, you're interpreting it as if they say pressure-wind supports 90kt but winds were actually higher. The MWR says that the wind estimate was derived from the pressure, but that was still the operational wind value. That is seemingly a post-season change, which is normal.

• In the impact, be better with overlinking. You link San Diego twice, don't link La Jolla and other places in San Diego, and randomly switch to mentioning states in links. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• Use NWS Oxnard and StormData for impact. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

  Nothing useful from the first one. Added the second one. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 04:35, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• In the see also, remove 1978 Pacific hurricane season as its already linked in the infobox. Probably should link to List of California hurricanes as well. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:44, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Otherwise, it's good.
