The talk page refers to a different page Talk:Typhoon Kelly (1987) and that issue would need to be resolved to avoid confusion. Otherwise 131 characters is within criteria, the article is new and well sourced with inline citations and appears to be compliant. Quetzal1964 17:31, 18 May 2017 (UTC) talk

Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but I don't see any mention of Tropical Storm Vera or 66 hours advance notice in the citation given (footnote 2). Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

@Yoninah: "The forecast had provided those on Okinawa with 66-hours of warning before the closest point of approach (CPA) occurred." Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 19:11, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
