Hello Hurricanehink. I noticed that this article was nominated back in February and thought I should probably review it. Anyway, I will do that right now. As I am checking the article, I have found a few issues regarding this article that I would you to fix or address.

"Severe Tropical Storm Linfa, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Egay, was a tropical cyclone that affected the northern Philippines," - Wikilink Philippines on its first use
Done. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
"It turned northward and strengthened to near typhoon intensity, or winds of 120 km/h (75 mph), but weakened as it turned to the northwest" - I think it would be better if you substituted one of the "turned"'s for "curved/recurved"
Good call. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
"but weakened as it turned to the northwest toward southern China" - Did it weaken (as in decrease in intensity), or become less organized or lose convection? In the MH section, there is nothing explicitly stating the storm weakened. This is as specific as it gets: "the eye expanded to a diameter of 37 km (23 mi), while the thunderstorms on the northern periphery diminished." Not sure if this is a problem in the lead or the MH
It's both. General weakening occurred as it approached southern China. I never found out why, but likely land interaction. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
"Linfa caused flooding at 16 locations and 4 landslides." - That doesn't seem very specific. 16 locations could mean 16 lampposts, 16 houses, 16 streets, 16 neighborhoods, 16 municipalities, 16 counties, 16 islands, 16 states/provinces, or ... I think you get the point :P
I do :P The landslides can be measured, but I think it's pretty pedantic to post how many spots the water accumulated on the ground. Even when ponds form on the street it's technically flooding AFAIK, so I removed the "16". ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
References 13 and 46 do not have accessdates
Added, good catch. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, so fix or address the above issues and I will gladly pass this article and list it as a Good Article.--12george1 (talk) 02:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, hope it's good now! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Everything looks good. I'm gonna pass this article now.--12george1 (talk) 01:55, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
