This meets all of the criteria. All of the articles (there are no lists) are either featured or good. In the unlikely event someone decides to split off another new article I will work fast to make sure this topic still meets the criteria. These articles are all linked by {{template:1997 Pacific hurricane season buttons}} and are also in the common category, category:1997 Pacific hurricane season. (The remaining articles in that category are simply placeholder disambiguation pages and not in any sense subarticles of the main one). For those reasons, I have decided to nominate it.

- Support Meets the criteria. It'd be nice to have some more FAs, though. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment in the main article, the timeline graph has no legend. Nergaal (talk) 23:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- I added one. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:26, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment - OK, this is going to be slightly complicated. I'm sorry, but following a vote, on September 1st the minimum FA requirement in 3.a)i) is due to go up to 25%. Hence, by the time this FTC is over, the topic will no longer meet the criteria. I realise now that the impending increase isn't mentioned in the criteria, only on talk pages, and so you probably didn't realise - I apologise for this, on reflection that's quite stupid of us, and I've just rectified it. (We're still working out what will happen to the topics that will stop meeting the criteria, they might not go into the usual retention, as...) It is also worth noting however that Good Topics have recently passed a straw poll, and we're currently working out the finer details of how to implement them. And while this proposed topic won't meet the featured topic criteria, it will meet the good topic criteria, so in theory it could pass as a good topic. Also it's worth noting that the plan is that when a good topic gets enough featured content to become a featured topic, it will do that automatically, without another nom required. But as I said, we haven't implemented good topics yet, and it may be another week, and obviously this can't pass as a good topic until this is finalised. (Arctic Gnome, as the promoting editor, do you think maybe this nomination should be put on hold, pending the implementation of good topics?) rst20xx (talk) 00:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)- Support - I would recount it Rst20xx, because at 25%, they still meet the requirements. There are seven articles, 7 divided by 4 equals 1.75, rounded up is 2, and they have two. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 01:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Per Judgesurreal777 (talk · contribs). Cirt (talk) 02:40, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support- it's currently at 28.5% FAs. --PresN (talk) 05:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support There is no problem with the current nom. Zginder 2008-08-30T06:29Z (UTC)
- Support - Oh yes... How very embarrassing for me... sorry everybody - rst20xx (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support I support after a question on nominators talk page about other hurricanes in the season that don't have articles that has now been fully resolved. 02blythed (talk) 19:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support - Passes FT criteria. ~~ ĈĠ890100Review me! 19:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support - In my view it meets the critera of a featured topic Jason Rees (talk) 21:18, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Where is User:Hurricanehink? Are you nominating articles behind his back? :P --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hehehe. Well, I'm proud to say I didn't have any involvement with this one (except getting Paka featured). I had forgotten about this nomination, but, since I'm here, support to the max!. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:17, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say an FA gives you at least some credit. :) –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 21:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
