(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
The prose is clear and concise. It is not bloated with unnecessary words or sentences that lead to it being overly detailed. I could not find any obvious errors in grammar or spelling.
There are around 30 sources on this article; most of them are NHC advisories (which have to be used in absence of the CPHC TCR, which will likely take years to be released considering the frequency of previous TCR releases), which help to verify the meteorological history portion of the storm. NHC advisories and discussions are also used for the warning information. Reliable newspapers/sites such as The Guardian are used for the impact section of the article. Sources are reliable and good.
Pass

Broad in its coverage:
Criteria
Notes
Result
(a) (major aspects)
This article covers the major aspects of Walaka properly. Given the relative lack of impact, the section is quite short compared to articles. This is understandable, however. The meteorological history is one of the longest parts of the article, which also makes sense given the storm's nature.
Pass
(b) (focused)
This article is focused
Pass
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

(a) (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales)
All images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales
Pass
(b) (appropriate use with suitable captions)
The images are appropriately used with suitable captions
This article has clear and concise prose and a proper amount of images compared to the size of the article. It covers all the aspects of Walaka's life as a tropical cyclone, such as the impact and meteorological history.
^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
