List of Florida hurricanes (2000–present)

Featured list removal candidates/List of Florida hurricanes (2000–present)/archive1

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it has fell way below the class of Featured List. Some parts are outdated, unreferenced, and/or written poorly.~ Destroyeraa🌀 16:29, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delist I didn't realize until looking at the article history, it became a featured list almost at the start. This is how the article was when made featured in 2007. I am not against the article losing featured status. It's been 13 years since the promotion. I would love to improve the article and then have it reviewed with our current guidelines. (This is in no way implying the article in 2007 was not of great quality.) Editors got interested with storms during the 2004-05 seasons and more recently 2017 to now. – The Grid (talk) 18:24, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Netural I feel that the article could be brought up to scratch quite easily, however, I do wonder if we really do need to split the List of Florida hurricanes into six separate lists. I realise that there are over 500 systems, however, I am currently researching Tropical cyclones in Fiji and have found well over 300 systems, but am not intending to split it into several lists as things stand. I would also ask what the significance of the split years for Florida are: (ie: Pre 1900, 1900, 1949/1950, 1974/1975, 1999/2000) I look at some of the entries on the lists and see that they are in need of trimming back to just a couple of sentences. Debby 2000 for example could be better written with something along the lines of: Hurricane Debby was forecasted to move through the Flordia Keys as a hurricane, which prompted a mandatory evacuation for all non-residents. However, Debby dissipated before it's remnant tropical wave, produced heavy rainfall and strong winds across southern Florida? Jason Rees (talk) 22:26, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jason Rees: That's what happens to featured lists that were listed years ago. People don't care about the class and they just go on and put unsourced information. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 00:26, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - It seems the lists were split by 25 years which I believe is the textbook definition of a generation. – The Grid (talk) 02:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delist — Article has been rotting over the years and updates have been of insufficient quality. This requires a complete overhaul and thorough research to get back to FL status. Splitting these in 25-year increments is fine given the multitude of storms that impact the state in some way. It makes navigation easier for readers. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 02:49, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to curiously view the WikiHistory of the article. The amount of editing matches what I stated earlier. The number of edits increased since 2015 and the quality began to decline. That would be an important point to remember when it comes time to improve the article back to featured status. – The Grid (talk) 03:28, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per above. ~ HAL333([2]) 23:07, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
