A couple of things. If you intend to nominate this article for deletion, it should be through WP:Articles for deletion not WP:Miscellany for deletion. An understandable mistake, though you should have read the instructions more clearly.
More importantly, I'd like to urge you to reconsider listing it at all. The 1946–47 Toronto Huskies season was not only the first season of this professional basketball team, it also featured the first ever National Basketball Association game, anywhere.

In the past, the indirect effects of tropical cyclones weren't used to rate the importance of storm articles. Look at Hurricane Stan. It's retired, it caused as many as 2,000 fatalities and over $1.1 billion damage, but the project decided it was Mid-importance because most of that occurred from the non-tropical part of the system. Under the same criteria, Stan's effects dwarf Tico's, and they don't belong in the same category. Potapych (talk) 15:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a note about rating articles, when doing so, only rate articles in which you are not the main contributer, i.e. for Hurricane Boris (2008), you shouldn't have given it C-class yourself since you are the main contributer. However, I do not disagree on the rating so it will stay C unless other users determine it is not of C-class quality. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the late response - I've been avoiding Wikipedia the last week. No, I don't see any need to try and get Ekeka featured. There really isn't that much information on the storm, and personally I'm completely content in it being a GA. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

You're not going to finish any other projects first? Are you actually serious about working on it, or are you just saying you will be working on it to feel like you are doing more work than you actually are? From what I've seen, all you've done is expand a few paragraphs slightly, but only to a level that doesn't significantly improve the article.
I'll be blunt. You're creating a bit of mess with some of your articles. I think what would be best for you would be to list every project you are working on, maybe on your user page (and in a fancy table). Also be sure to include every article you created in the past that was not fixed by another person. Personally, I think you should focus on the existing articles you've touched (say, getting them up to GA), and if you feel you're ready (or, you could ask your admin coach if he thinks you are ready) then you can continue to a new project. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
No, read the rest of my response. The tropical cyclone WikiProject has some great editors. Some users have described the project as being one of the best on Wikipedia. As you are an editor in the project, there is a lot expected from you, such as great writing, great researching, and doing lots of great things. Given your age, do you feel you can live up to that expectation? ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:04, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't think you get it. You are expected to make great edits, and you are not. You are annoying on talk pages, you still have trouble spelling and writing, and you haven't improved much since you got here. You've been here for two to three months. I hate to ask, but is Wikipedia really the place for you? ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Maybe it's best for you, but is it best for Wikipedia? Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we're all here to write for the good of it, not for our pleasure. If you are being disruptive to the project, than no, Wikipedia is not the best for you. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
The problem is that you are being disruptive. Your talk page edits are disruptive, particularly evidenced through your edits on Norbert. You reverted Juliancolton's edit and called it vandalism. That itself is vandalism. And no, I left the symbol that un-indents the discussion. I'll repeat. If you are being disruptive to the project, than no, Wikipedia is not the best for you. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I have some more advice for you. When you are on break, do not edit at all until your break is over. It doesn't count saying "back to break", especially when your edit was unneeded. There's no need to respond to this. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
You are being disruptive again. There was no need to bring the article discussion back up, and you left an inappropriate template on the WPTC talk page. Furthermore, you changed the noticeboard to add the article discussion, when it had already been reverted before. If you are being disruptive to the project, than no, Wikipedia is not the best for you. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
The article Hurricane Boris (2008) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Hurricane Boris (2008) for things needed to be addressed. \ / (⁂) 11:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we have agreed on that for a while, but I think you're missing the point. Every storm can have an article only if the article is reasonably well-written, and contains sufficient information and referencing. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:32, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Consider this a formal warning. If you continue to act disruptive, you will be blocked. I've requested some input on WP:ANI. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea what you asked me on my talk page. There are still plenty of start class EPAC articles. However, what might be more helpful is working on season articles. I don't mean 1992 PHS (which might be out of your league due to its importance). However, what about writing a summary for each storm of the 1980 Pacific hurricane season? It is currently a stub, and it would be pretty easy to get to Start or C class. You just need to use the Best Track and the Seasonal Summary. Or, if you don't like that season, there is 1981, 1983, or 1984 that are also stubs. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Storm of the month
Hurricane Paloma
Hurricane Paloma was the second most powerful November hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin, behind Hurricane Lenny in 1999. It was the third and final major hurricane to hit Cuba in 2008, being the first time that three major hurricanes have struck Cuba in one season. It also marked the first time that at least one major hurricane formed in every month of the hurricane season from July to November, with only June not having a major hurricane this season.
Hurricane Paloma was also the last Tropical Depression of the 2008 season, and caused at least $1.4 billion in damage and was responsible for at least one direct death.

Storm of the month
Cyclone Fanele was the first cyclone of tropical cyclone status to strike western Madagascar since Cyclone Fame one year prior. It formed on January 18 in the Mozambique Channel, and rapidly organized, reaching peak winds of 185 km/h (115 mph). It weakened before moving ashore in Menabe Region southwest of Morondava, and rapidly deteriorated over land. Fanele briefly re-intensified after reaching open waters, only to become an extratropical cyclone by January 23. The cyclone caused heavy damage near where it moved ashore and along its path, resulting in at least eight deaths. Fanele struck Madagascar just two days after Tropical Storm Eric brushed the northeastern portion of the country. The two storms affected over 50,000 people, of which at least 4,000 were left homeless. Fanele struck the country during a series of government protests, and consequentially relief efforts were hindered.

Project News
The project reached a milestone in the last two months in terms of article quality for all articles within the project. For the first time, the percentage of Good articles or better reached more than 1/3, and at the same time, the percentage of Start or Stub articles totaled less than 50%. In the previous twelve months, the overall project grew by 262 articles, of which 204, or 78%, were GA or better. Additionally, in terms of only storm articles, the project now has 46.6% of its articles as GA or better, and only 1/3 are Start or Stub. Unfortunately, much of that is due to newly-created articles easily attaining GA status. For storm articles, the total number of Start or Stub articles, currently 226, is about the same as it was a year ago. The lack of work on older articles is especially noticeable on season articles, where more than 75% of articles are still Stub or Start.
In an attempt to improve articles, there is talk of forming a collaboration between a few Wikipedians. The current project is to improve Hurricane Camille to FA status in time for its 40th anniversary this August. There is still plenty of work to be done, so if you're interested, any help would be appreciated.
Additionally, there is a recent discussion on the WPTC talk page about establishing a notability criteria. There was talk in the past of instating one, although this time the proposal is backed up by interpretations of existing Wikipedia policy. The proposal would limit articles to tropical cyclones that have at least one independent, reliable source other than any warning centers. Excluding cross-basin, off-season, or 64+ knot cyclones, the proposal would affect 26 articles, none of which affected land or lasted for an appreciable amount of time.
Check the merging page. As for Olivia, the storm itself did not affect land, and all of its sources are still only from the NHC. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Storm of the month Hamish indirectly caused a major environmental disaster along the Queensland coastline, when strong waves from the cyclone damaged the hull of a cargo ship, spilling 260 tonnes of fuel and oil into the ocean. The oil washed onto the coastline, endangering the environment prompting a costly cleanup. Offshore, the fishermen went missing after the boat was lost; one person was found, although the other two remained missing and were presumed dead. As the storm remained offshore, overall damage directly from the storm was minor, primarily from strong waves. Other tropical cyclone activity

Project News As part of the above discussion, there is a request for all active members to sign a list to affirm they are still active members in the project. If you don't sign the list, or if you don't consider yourself active anymore, your name will be placed on the inactive members list on May 1st. Hurricanehink has organised a challenge to try and improve some of the Tropical cyclone articles. The rules are that you must take either an seasonal or a storm article from one of the eight basins we have, that is either a Stub, Start class or a brand new article and improve it to at least GA status. However to avoid several articles on cyclones that did not affect land, Hurricanehink has limited the challenge to storms/seasonal articles of Mid-importance or higher. Their is an exception to this rule for the Central Pacific as Cyclones rarely form in this basin. - For full details of the challenge see the Project's Talkpage Project member list |

Storm of the month Tropical Storm Linfa formed out of an area of low pressure on June 14, the storm briefly attained tropical depression status before degenerating. By June 17 the system regenerated in the South China Sea. Slowly tracking northward, the storm intensified, attaining severe tropical storm status on June 19 and peaking in intensity the following day. On June 21, Linfa made landfall in Fujian Province, China as a tropical storm before weakening to a tropical depression. In Taiwan, outer bands of the storm produced significant amounts of rain over southeastern areas of the island. Along the western coast, rip currents resulted in the drowning of one person. Six hikers also were reported to be missing. In China, torrential rains triggered flooding that destroyed 100 homes, killed one person and left six others missing. In all, seven people were killed by Linfa, with another 12 missing, damages in mainland China were estimated at ¥655 million (US$95.8 million) and agricultural losses in Taiwan reached NT$400 million (US$12.1 million).
