  1. Hurricane Dolores (2015)

A new article was created for Dolores recently and it got GA status today. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 14:51, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support with comment: This certainly belongs. The fact that this article wasn't in the original nomination would seem to mean that the original GT proposal was incomplete and should have failed? Or, has this cyclone somehow just now become notable, though it wasn't when the topic was created? Do we have standards to judge which tropical cyclones are notable? -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 15:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Articles on specific tropical cyclones are considered content forks of their respective season articles. I didn't think Dolores caused sufficient impacts to justify a separate article when I went around compiling the original topic, but someone else did and managed to flesh out a complete article. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 16:25, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bryanrutherford0: The creation of the article was heavily opposed initially, however, more information on the storm's impacts was discovered. The issue here is that since new information has been found, the section would have been too large for the season article and required a split. Creation can be borderline on storms with minimal reported impact. NoahTalk 16:32, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
