The tornado outbreak of May 4–6, 2007 was a devastating tornado outbreak that took place in Kansas, resulting in the deaths of thirteen people. Eleven of these deaths alone came from the 2007 Greensburg tornado, a massive EF5 tornado and the first in the United States to be rated as such. The tornado leveled Greensburg, leaving 95% of the town damaged.

Meets all criteria, this may very well be the first tornado-related GTN on Wikipedia. Image is an FP aswell. --E_F⁵ 13:41, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support now that Greensburg is GA. In addition, would this not meet FT criteria as at least half the articles are FA/FL? the wildfire update guy that also writes about other weather (talk) 00:14, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of the National Hockey League

The history of the National Hockey League begins with the end of its predecessor league, the National Hockey Association (NHA), in 1917. After unsuccessfully attempting to resolve disputes with Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts, executives of the three other NHA franchises suspended the NHA, and formed the National Hockey League (NHL), replacing the Livingstone team with a temporary team in Toronto, the Arenas. The NHL's first quarter-century saw the league compete against two rival major leagues—the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and Western Canada Hockey League—for players and the Stanley Cup. The NHL first expanded into the United States in 1924 with the founding of the Boston Bruins, and by 1926 consisted of ten teams in Ontario, Quebec, the Great Lakes region, and the Northeastern United States. At the same time, the NHL emerged as the only major league and the sole competitor for the Stanley Cup; in 1947, the NHL completed a deal with the Stanley Cup trustees to gain full control of the Cup. The NHL's footprint spread across Canada as Foster Hewitt's radio broadcasts were heard coast-to-coast starting in 1933.

Comment: Perhaps the split discussion at Talk:History of the National Hockey League (1992–present)#Move to 1992–2017? that's been going on since February should be resolved first. There exists a draft at Draft:History of the National Hockey League (since 2017) which was worked on as recently as two days ago. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like there was support for a split and the draft is in good shape. Instead of being bold and moving the draft to main space myself, I've reached out to the draft creator here to see if they intend to move it to main space. They haven't edited in a few days, so we may need to be patient. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm one of the other editors on that draft, I've been meaning to port over content from Arizona Coyotes and Utah NHL team to fill out the currently-empty last section but haven't gotten around to it. Once that's done, the draft should be good to publish. The Kip ^(contribs) 17:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fully expanded the aforementioned section, improved coverage of Tampa Bay's B2B and added a section on Boston's record-breaking season as well. Let me know if anything else is needed. The Kip ^(contribs) 06:37, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just following up - @Hey man im josh, would I be good to move the draft to mainspace and perform the associated removals/page moves/template edits associated with doing so? Only issue is that 2017-present will then need to go through the GA process, which will hold up this FT nom. The Kip ^(contribs) 17:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@The Kip: I don't see any reason why not. There did seem to be a general consensus in favor of the split and it's well written, so I say shoot. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh I've moved to mainspace and nominated it for GA in order to keep the ball rolling on this nom. I believe I've taken care of all the associated moves, edits, removals, etc - please let me know if I've missed anything. The Kip ^(contribs) 19:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh Many months later, the 2017-present history article has passed GA - I think we're good to get rolling on this nom again. The Kip ^(contribs) 19:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Just pointing this out—in order to cover all the articles relating to the History of the NHL, we would need to add History of the National Hockey League on television, History of the National Hockey League on United States television, and History of organizational changes in the NHL to the topic. XR228 (talk) 19:44, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the current list of articles is okay as they're the ones included in the NHL series template. By criteria 1.c, these articles are shared in a common template. There's probably an argument to make the series more sophisticated, but the articles you've mentioned could very well be compiled into other topics/series/templates. For example, the two television history articles could go under a National Hockey League on television lead with articles from the NHL on TV template. I just think the series template is clearly defined and this topic is a direct and complete representation of that, which is what we're after. Idiosincrático (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I agree, the template and topic is clearly defined. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hold since one of the articles is still getting reviewed. TeapotsOfDoom (talk) 00:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE— jlwoodwa (talk) 03:18, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Man that took a while for that nom to get taken, but it's passed now, so I see no reason to do anything but support this nomination. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
