@Jo-Jo Eumerus: This article is interesting, new enough and long enough. The image is public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright/close paraphrasing issues. The proposed hook is a bit amorphous - it is difficult to find an inline citation for the hook facts for example, especially the last part of the hook. Could we have a different hook that refers to a more specific fact that is cited inline, or just use the first part of the hook? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:43, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth:Er, A 2013 study using tropical cyclones from the 2003 Pacific typhoon season including Typhoon Chan-hom showed that the tropical cyclone winds could induce eastward moving equatorial waves[51] and suggested that such typhoon induced waves can start El Niño events is what carries the second part of the hook. Also, people are generally more interested in recent things, so you can't simply strip the second part out. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

OK, that seems to cover the last part of the hook, so let's move on to "such as El Niño events", which as the hook is now worded does not sit well with the preceding statement, in my view. Could we have

Not really convinced that this is better. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:21, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

I will give it a tick and the promoter can consider whether the hook wording is satisfactory. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:48, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
