Well, here it is. The 1975 season is not a well-remember hurricane season. However, two very notable storms occurred. The 1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane formed and dissipated near
Alaska. Hurricane Olivia left 30,000 homeless in Mexico, and 30 million in damage. Sadly, several people died.
Both of these storms have article. Before something asks, all of the article storms (save Agatha) can't get articles. In the case of Agatha, it could get one, but is not an obvious gap due to lack of info.
As the reviewer for the 1975 PHS article, I'm not voting, but commenting. The main article is a bit weak on prose, I'd like to see someone copyedit the article first, as the writing is just passable. HurricaneFan2514:45, 16 October 2011 (UTC)reply
Comment The lede is a bit on the flimsy side..May I suggest expanding it to two paragraphs or so? Additionally, there are some deadlinks in the article, and in the "Storms" section, the storms' summaries are weak.

The lead is two paragraphs, good enough for an uneventful EPAC season, though I did add a tad more of content to the lead. The storm's summaries are similar in length to the
1973 Pacific hurricane season. Remember, this is EPHC era, so they are no discussions or TWO's.

Comment From the position of an informed layperson (one who has lived through hurricanes but neither studies them nor writes about them on Wikipedia), the articles look fine. I'm reluctant to support however, because the fact that none of the regular Hurricane writers are expressing confidence in this.

Support. I suppose I'll bring up the reason I haven't committed. Eventually, can there be a good topic on every season? Should the fact that the topic meets the bare minimum mean it be promoted? --♫

Support The articles that are there are good, and some seasons (thankfully for everyone but our excellent Hurricane writers team) just don't produce many storms worth mentioning. BTW, if you're looking for a larger topic, why not shoot for a "Pacific Hurricanes of the 1970s" topic?
Sven ManguardWha?05:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)reply
Actually, would that work for topic rules? The main article would be
List of Pacific hurricane seasons, but if that were hypothetically featured, would such a list be acceptable? You know, some seasons with one or no sub-articles would not be part of a topic until the entire "Lit of Pacific hurricane seasons" was done. It'd be great to be able to do "List of Pacific hurricane seasons (1970-1979)", and then add to the topic as the 60s or 80s was done. Imagine the same for the World Series, if it was "1980-1989 World Series" (since I doubt anyone would get all 100+ world series articles done anytime soon). --♫

I don't understand your argument. First, I don't think there is a rule that an article can't be part of four topics (I see nothing on
WP:WIAFT), and second, no article would be part of more than four topics (AFIAK), sans "List of Pacific hurricane seasons". I think this is a discussion better for FT questions, so I'll ask there. --♫
