Working definition[edit]

The working definition is quite well defined as, "all Pacific hurricanes that have had their names retired".--Pharos 02:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vital improvements[edit]

This topic meets current criteria perfectly.--Pharos 02:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvements[edit]

Of course, it would be good to improve some of the GAs to FAs.--Pharos 02:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions[edit]

I do not believe that any additions to this topic would be possible, excepting the possibility of future Pacific hurricanes with names that are retired.--Pharos 02:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Ioke and Typhoon Paka have both had their names retired in the recent Central Pacific name list reorganization. Neither article is currently anywhere close to featured status, but there should probably be a grace period of sorts for them to be brought up to snuff. —Cuiviénen 23:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any future retired hurricane names will have to be added to the topic within a three-month grace period of the date of the name being retired - rst20xx (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alma will need to be added to this within 3 months of today Jason Rees (talk) 01:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manuel has 3 months to get up to snuff.Jason Rees (talk) 18:19, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

name[edit]

the name is wrong! it should be "Retired Pacific hurricane names"

I agree - rst20xx (talk) 16:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
