After working on this for a good little bit, I believe the list adheres to the featured list criteria, and so I'm nominating it. It is useful (for anyone looking for a list of Florida hurricanes, specifically), comprehensive (after looking thoroughly for any other possible storms, I believe the list is almost entirely comprehensive), factually accurate (no citations needed), stable (I am the only editor), uncontroversial (it's only about hurricanes) and well-constructed (it is based on the format of several other featured tropical cyclone lists). It has a consise lead, proper headings (I hope), and a decent table of contents. Lastly, it has some images, all of which are in the public domain due to being a work of the U.S. government.

Support. Although it does concern me that 13 of the systems have "impact unknown" (which could violate the comprehensive portion of the criteria), for many of those depressions it would be extrememly difficult to find any information. It's going to be a while before the TC rainfall project gets to those depressions. I can quickly fix Gerda now, which will bring the unknown impact number down to 12. It otherwise fits the featured criteria well. Thegreatdr 20:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Good work. Tompw (talk) (review) 10:37, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: the date restriction seems rather arbitrary - it would seem better to have a list of (say) all recorded Florida hurricanes, or all Florida hurricanes in the 20th century. Ben Finn 12:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not sure if you looked through the article, but this is because there are too many hurricanes in Florida. There is one pre-1900, 1900-1949, this one, 1975-1999, and List of Florida hurricanes which is ultimately going to represent an overall look at Florida hurricanes.
