Current Status: Former topic

Working definition

The working definition seems to be "named hurricanes of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season".--Pharos 23:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vital improvements

The topic satisfies current criteria, and no vital improvements are needed to maintain status.--Pharos 23:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvements

The GAs could of course be promoted to FAs. The most glaring non-FA is the lead article.--Pharos 23:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The lead article is now featured. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions

There does not appear to be any possibility for an expansion in scope, as the unnamed hurricanes are probably not notable.--Pharos 23:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As seems to be common with the more recent years, there could potentially be the creation and addition of a "Timeline of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season" article - rst20xx (talk) 17:00, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Created and nominated for addition. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 06:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Status?

Two articles in this topic were merged. I was wondering how to go about updating that. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
