The only season that seems comparable with regard to hyperactivity and confirmed damage is 2005, a top importance article. There is no doubt that this season is worthy of at least a High Importance rating in the WikiProject, but should the 2017 season article join the list of currently 24 top-importance articles in the tropical cyclone WikiProject and become the second season article rated as top importance? This season produced two top-importance storms (Harvey & Maria). While 2005 still holds the record of most active, I personally believe that the 2017 season warrants the status. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 00:29, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
I disagree with 2017 AHS being top-importance. It didn't have the activity of 2005 AHS, and of the three big storms (H, I, M), only Irma isn't top-importance, and it shouldn't be. I dropped Andrew, since Harvey and Maria topped it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:21, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Harvey, Irma, and Maria were all damaging and strong storms of importance, but its not as hyperactive as the 2005 season for sure. HurricaneCalebN (talk) 19:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
The 2017 left an even greater impact than seasons like 2004, 2005, and 2012. I think that this would deserve the top-importance rating by all means. If we were to take an article off of the top-importance level and replace it with this one, I would suggest it to be Harvey's meteorological history article. While Harvey was the costliest tropical cyclone on record, its meteorological history article doesnt really have any need to be top-importance. I would suggest making that high-importance while making this season article top-importance. What do you think? @Jason Rees:, @Jasper Deng:, @Cyclonebiskit:?Cooper 15:05, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
I'd honestly say that all four retired names were very significant. Also considering the amount of media coverage and attention the season got, I think it could be top-importance. Cooper 14:58, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Honestly, I'd say 2017 deserves top importance as it was costlier than 2005, could be deadlier with the higheat estimate calling for over 8000 deaths, has three storms over $50 billion, and four retired names. This should mean a top importance article as seasons like these are very rare. To adress everything, Jason Rees I think that Irma was very significant as it claimed more lives than Harvey; 134 to 92 and caused a similar amount of damage as Maria 64 billion to 91 billion. Yellow Evan, there's a reason why there are 9 Atlantic top impotance articles there's plenty of warm water and minimal land and then there's a ton of land, the U.S., Mexico, the Carribean, Bermuda, the Azores, Cabo Verde, and the Canary Islands. About your 1% quota I still believe that the season article is still worth top importance as this kind of season is extremely rare, how many are notable enough to have one top importance article? Two? Now look at the season thoroughly, it was deadly, costly, numerous tropical cyclones, numerous records tied or broken such as most consecutive hurricanes tying 1893's record of 10, and four retired names, this kind of season is extraordinarily rare, and hence why it deserves three top importance articles. My reason on why the season itself and not just the big three should get top importance is that other storms; like Nate and Ophelia were costly and deadly except overshadowed by H.I.M.and there were numerous systems, the fifth most, and other little things the build up makes me believe that the 2017 season article should be top importance. Cyclone of Foxes (talk) 19:52, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Cyclone of Foxes (but not that Ophelia should be top importance despite being a very unusual storm and the worst storm to hit Ireland in half a century). It's been half a year since I started this thread and I maintain that 2017 is a fine candidate for top importance. It's very easily the only season that can compare to 2005. It surpassed 05 to become the most destructive season, it may have been deadlier than 2005, it was one major away from matching 05's seven major hurricanes, it produced four retired storms: Harvey which matched Katrina's damage, Irma which was deadlier than Harvey (don't forget that Irma obliterated Barbuda; I strongly disagree with the statement that there were "only two notable storms") Maria is worst disaster in Puerto Rican history, and let's not forget that Nate was the worst natural disaster in Costa Rican history. 2017 is the only season to produce three storms with over 40 ACE unlike any one storm from 05, and 2017 produced three of the top 10 most destructive storms by cost. It is fair and accurate to say that 2005 was more hyperactive as 2017 didn't enter the Greek alphabet, but most of the 05 storms had little to no impact and the real effects of the two seasons are comparable. 2017 was objectively more destructive, but perhaps deadlier as well. 2017 was the only season that can compare to 2005.

Collectively, the tropical cyclones were responsible for at least 3,363 deaths – the most fatalities in a single season since 2005. Most of the season's damage was due to hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Another notable hurricane, Nate, was the worst natural disaster in Costa Rican history. The names Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate were retired following the season due to the number of deaths and amount of damage they caused.I feel like this should come after the part about the number of storms. NoahTalk 02:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
and an unnamed tropical depressionShould say Tropical Depression Four since that is how one would refer to it. NoahTalk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Damagesplease make this damage throughout the article. There are three occurrences of "damages" from what I have seen. NoahTalk 02:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
After strengthening into a moderate tropical stormno such thing in this basin. Anyone familiar with the actual meaning of "moderate tropical storm" would be confused here. NoahTalk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Five hours after peaking in intensity with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a pressure of 981 mbar (28.97 inHg) early on the following day, Franklin made landfall in Vega de Alatorre, Veracruz.This is just awkward and vague. Early on the following day could technically be anywhere between 00 and 06. NoahTalk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
The cyclone rapidly weakened thereafter, and by 18:00 UTC on August 10, it dissipated as a tropical cyclone.I would avoid cyclone twice in the same sentence. NoahTalk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
As the storm hit, severe floods occurred in Northern Ireland, with floodwaters reaching 4.9 ft (1.5 m), and over 100 people were rescued after being trapped by floodwaters overnight.The rescue is dependent on the flooding, so this sentence should be rephrased so it isnt as wordy... I will do more tomorrow night. Tired after a long work shift. NoahTalk 02:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Harvey's remnants continued into the Bay of Campeche, where more conducive environmental conditions led to the re-designation of a tropical depression, around 12:00 UTC on August 23, and subsequent intensification into a tropical storm by 18:00 UTC that day.Remove the second comma and change "by 18:00 UTC that day" to six hours later. NoahTalk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
attaining hurricane intensity by 18:00 UTC on August 24, Category 3 strength around 18:00 UTC on August 25, and Category 4 intensity by 00:00 UTC on August 26.Since the RI progressed rather quickly, is it nessecary to have Cat 3 mentioned since it hit Cat 4 just 6 hours later? Seems to me like too many category changes are mentioned. NoahTalk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
The hurricane made landfall in Texas between Port Aransas and Port O'Connor, around 03:00 UTC on August 26Why is there a comma? NoahTalk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

A westward-moving tropical wave developed into a tropical depression just west of the Cape Verde Islands early on August 30. Six hours later, the depression became Tropical Storm Irma.
Location and timing are vague... better to mention an exact time and location for the TD. Also, these can be combined. NoahTalk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

intensified into Tropical Storm Nate early on October 5, just hours before it made landfall in northeastern Nicaragua.when exactly did it make landfall? The timing could be anywhere from 00-06 for formation of a TS with a landfall hours after those times. NoahTalk 02:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Strong deep-layer south-southeasterly flowNeeds something before "strong" to start the sentence. NoahTalk 02:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
before striking Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi River early on October 8.How early are we talking? It has to be before 05:20 UTC, but it gives no clue as to how much time passed between the landfalls. NoahTalk 02:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

The storm left about $225 million in the United States. The bulk of the damage occurred in coastal Alabama.Should specify "in damage". Also, you can say "with the bulk occurring in ..." NoahTalk 02:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

I think I am done now. Thanks for the review, @Hurricane Noah:!--12george1 (talk) 02:52, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
Arlene was one of only two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic to form in April , On the other hand it didn't damage anything or cause any deaths, Anyway I was just wondering. 🌀HurricaneMichael2018 (talk) 00:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
I tried to edit it but anyways it says Hurricane Maria was the strongest hurricane with a peak intensity of about 175 mph winds but Hurricane Irma had 180 mph winds. I am not sure if you guys are talking about in terms of pressure or winds because if you are talking about pressure then I get it with Irma and Maria because of 914 and 908. Anyways, I just wanted to know about that I like hurricanes (talk) 17:03, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Okay, Thanks! I like hurricanes (talk) 18:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
