[edit] Hurricane Kenna
I did this article about a month ago, and after looking back at it I think it's featured worthy. Comments? Hurricanehink (talk) 19:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Comment Seems to pass all criteria. It is a bit small, but smaller articles have passed. I'm not sure to whether support this or not. Evilclown93 22:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Length is not a requirement. Comprehensiveness is. Additionally, it is 20 kb, a reasonable length and twice as long as the shortest featured hurricane article. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Support Excellent work, as usual. Jay32183 01:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Object -- the units should be SI first, then imperial. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Two reasons, Mexico uses metric, and this article is related to science. Additional comment: gif image should be converted to png. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've talked to others, and the consensus is that though it primarily affected Mexico, the basin is under the jurisdiction of the National Hurricane Center, and they use imperial units. Thus, the article should be imperial units. I did, however, change the image (and also uploaded it on commons). Hurricanehink (talk) 18:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Could you point me to the relevent discussion? Thanks! =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- There hasn't really been a relevant discussion. However, this is mainly to keep the status quo. For starters, the infobox automatically places the units as mph (km/h), as well as the fact that there are dozens of other articles, some of which primarily affected Mexico and some of which only lightly did as well, that have the same uniformity. The Tropical cyclone Wikiproject prefers to keep everything as unified as possible. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

- At first thought, I wanted to object as well on that basis. However, WP:MOSNUM indicates that when in doubt, "Put the source value first and the converted value second." The relevant primary source here would be a Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre, in this case, the National Hurricane Center. There's reasons to put units in either measurement system, so that clause is applied. Titoxd(?!?) 04:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

- Support, appears to meet the featured article criteria. --Coredesat 04:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
