Proposed deletion of 2015–16 North American winter

The article 2015–16 North American winter has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There is literally no significant information yet and will not likely be for over a month. This article was deleted for similar months when a new user attempted to create it even earlier when in the summer. All this can amount to for awhile is a stub containing information that many or most people already knew about. We should wait for the official forecasts to come out.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ridiculously Resilient Ridge

A tag has been placed on Ridiculously Resilient Ridge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

There are no original sources for this term. It hinges on one person's offhand comments within blogs and in a refereed article which does not contain a complete definition.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Turn Up the Music (Chris Brown song), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 18:55, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

February 2021

Hello, I'm Doctorhawkes. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Heaven (Bryan Adams song) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:11, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

First of all, how do I use the sandbox? Second, is listing songs that are simply categorized "Rock" and giving them at least a proper subgenre on my sandbox a good idea? Also, the main reason why I've categorized both Tom Petty's "Refugee" and Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" as Heartland Rock instead of "Rock" is because not only do both of the aforementioned songs sound like it upon listening closely to them, but both of the aforementioned musicians were known to be notable Heartland Rock performers. I'm sorry, but just "Rock" isn't gonna cut it for me because it's not specific enough for my strict music genre standards; same thing goes to songs that go simply by "Country", "House", or "EDM". Thank you for your time. SodaliteMalachite (talk) 03:48, 23 February 2021 (UTC–06:00)

Not to be rude, but it doesn't matter whether it cuts it for you. Any unsourced additions will probably be reverted, which I suspect has already happened to most things you have added to Wikipedia. Genres need a reliable source to be added. See WP:RS. Doctorhawkes (talk) 10:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
