[edit] Winter of 1976-1977

Winter of 1976-1977 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Page appears to contain original research, is an item of unsure significance, and contains a localized viewpoint.Fundamentaldan 15:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. I wouldn't mind seeing an article on "Weather in Winter of 1976-77." But it would have to have a few sources, not the anecdotal materials in the current article.--Wehwalt 16:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - although an interesting topic, it's not suitable for wikipedia at the moment, as it's all original research and lacks the necessary reliable sources therefore failing WP:V. Jayden54 17:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as OR. Also heavily POV as it only features the weather in the USA. --Folantin 19:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Folantin. I can see specific storms or the role of the weather in a historical event as being encyclopedic, but I can't see a particular season of a particular year as being encyclopedic. Agent 86 20:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, possibly rename e.g. Great Winter of '77. We have an article Great Lakes Blizzard of 1977 that covers a part of that winter, and there are other potential sources TIME, WaPo, etc.. --Dhartung | Talk 20:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Folantin. Other places (yes there really ARE other places!) have weather too you know. Jcuk 23:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
