[edit] New article

Based on its length alone I split this off from the list of notable tropical cyclones. It needs a lot of work however (as does that article). — jdorje (talk) 07:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Costliest EPAC canes

The current template has Iniki on top, though the Hurricane Pauline article shows the storm caused $7.5 billion, making it costlier than Iniki. Should that be changed? Hurricanehink (talk) 02:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typhoon Man-yi (Japan 07/2007)

Sorry to be repeating myself on another page, but as this is the page dedicated to Pacific typhoons, I believe that Man-yi deserves mention here. It is, as I said on List of notable tropical cyclones, it hit Japan outside of its usual typhoon season (Sept/Oct). It is, according to 日本放送局 (Nihon-housou-kyoku (NHK)(Japan Broadcasting Network))'s weather report, the 'strongest typhoon to hit Japan in July since the end of World War 2'. After watching the news, and the results of the typhoon in Naha, Okinawa and the death toll in Kagoshima (although it is not very high at all), I feel it is a good candidate for this page.

Question: Would I add it to the 'Out of season' landfall (or whatever the title is - sorry)? Please give some advice.

Thank you.

This is a list of Eastern and Central Pacific hurricanes, not Western Pacific typhoons. The addition at List of notable tropical cyclones is sufficient. Thanks, SpLoT // 10:01, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
One more thing, though. There is no predefined season for the Western Pacific - the season runs year round. While more typhoons could strike Japan in certain months, to the best of my knowledge, the official agency (JMA) has not prescribed any such period. - SpLoT // 10:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Size

This article now has 220 numbered inline cites and uses a total of 113 different sources. However, it has a new problem: size. It is 72 kilobytes in size, which is quite hefty for an incomplete list. Hence I think splitting it is a legitimate line of discussion.

When expanding this list I especially created analogous sections to those in the Atlantic list. Hence the existence of the naming, seasonal activity, and etc sections. The most reasonable sections to be split would be those about seasonal records, perhaps to list of Pacific hurricane seasons. A similar discussion was done ages ago about adding the records to the Atlantic seasons list. Also, since there's no real point in having both lists cover different things, so this probably applies to list of Atlantic hurricanes as well.

But does anyone have alternative sections to split, or should size not be a concern as this is a list? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Except for peer review input, this list is now finished in my view, and is even bigger. The same justification for a possible split still holds. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Lists do not have to worry about having too many sources. Excluding the references and the images, the article size is very reasonable, although certainly some articles could be made out of the sections (List of deadliest Pacific hurricanes, or perhaps just List of deadly Pacific hurricanes, come to mind). One concern I have of the article is the lack of a sufficient lede, but otherwise it looks good. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I added a bit more to the lead. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
