Because #4 struck a less developed area of the world, there really isn't much info. #2 and #5 struck the US, which is why they have enough info to sustain their own pages. –Juliancolton |

Comment - this reminds me of the
Hurricane Dean nom, which passed, but I voted neutral because there was no article on Belize despite $97 million damage, for exactly the same reason as you have given here for the lack of article for #4. What nationality was the SS Ethel Sakel?

I'm not certain, but the sinking of a single ship (this was 70 years ago) doesn't make it any easier to write an article. If I really tried, I could probably scrape off a few more sentences of info and call it a GA, but surely it's more practical to simply include whatever substantial info I can find in the main article? –Juliancolton |

Support - In my opinion JC has done a good job gathering all the bits he can bearing in mind that most of the world was in the midst of WWII at the time of the events ocouring.

Weak support - I'm going to assume good faith, and believe Juliancolton when he says that there's not much more that can be said about the other storms -

Comment - before I promote this, my inclination would be to generalise the book to one on "1941 meteorology", however at the moment the only articles on 1941 meteorology on Wikipedia are the ones included in this topic. I'm still inclined to generalise though as I expect there may well be articles on the other basins down the line, or if not then it would still be better to reflect a wider scope for the book. Does this make sense, and what other articles do you think might be created in the future?

Yeah, that's reasonable. I think we might eventually end up with articles for the Southern Hemisphere and North Indian basins assuming we can get the info. Thanks! –Juliancolton |

Main article now an FA, so I think it's time that this is upgraded to FT. I'm not sure if this should be at /archive 2, but I put it here for now... –Juliancolton |

? It does it automatically - in fact, I just checked, you can see the topic just fine at
WP:FT. No nomination needed. You just need to go and edit the actual topic page to change the GA symbol to a star. (I'll do it for you.) --PresN04:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)reply
