Rename?
This winter storm has now impacted late January and early February. I can't think of a good title name, Late January-Early February 2023 winter storm isn't suitable IMO. Does anyone have any ideas on a better name to rename since this storm has now impacted early February? Tails Wx 17:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- When it gets to that long of a name, I think the dates are used, similar to January 31 – February 3, 2021 nor'easter. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with what @Elijahandskip said. Let's rename this article based on the dates, like the aforementioned article (January 31 – February 3, 2021 nor'easter) , since the "Late January-Early February 2023 winter storm" name is too long. Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 19:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ok. What about rename it when the winter storm event ends? The conditions may persist into Thursday. Tails Wx 19:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Tails Wx I can also agree with what you said, we should rename it towards the end of the event because it would be kind of repetitive to keep moving the article every day, but then again that would mean we will have to continue using the current title until the event ends, right? Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Cyclonetracker7586, yes. Tails Wx 19:40, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Tails Wx I don't know what to decide
because. I'll just let you, Elijahandskip, and other users decide. I'll go with whatever you guys decide, I'll continue uploading satellite images of the weather event on Wikimedia Commons until it concludes. Cheers guys :) . Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 19:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)- Ok. I'm kind of disputed on the article name because we're in February right now, so I'll talk to others about this matter. Thanks for your input! :) Tails Wx 19:49, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

NCEI deaths
I highly disagree with it for 4 reasons
- We’ve never done that split for death tolls.
- NCEI won’t mark car crash death tolls.
- NCEI isn’t always fully inclusive as can be seen with other storms.
- All other media report many deaths, disagreeing with NCEI and signaling an error.47.19.209.230 (talk) 19:01, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Elijahandskip: Please address this concern.144.121.66.230 (talk) 16:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- NOAA has the official and latest information. That is how death tolls get tracked and changed. Whether you like it or not, NOAA’s official information says 0 deaths from the storm system. Officially speaking, the 10 TWC deaths were decided to have been non-weather related deaths. Also, what is your source on “NCEI won’t mark car crash death tolls.” Because that is highly WP:OR. Elijahandskip (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- The November 2022 lake effect snowstorm also had no deaths. NCEI’s storm events database is really not reliable outside tornadoes, because it forces the event to be a direct storm incident. Car crashes are due to ice on the road, and NCEI would only mark a car crash if it was like a tree falling on the road. Also, Elijahandskip, WP:OR only applies to article content. And considering even NYT reports ten deaths, we can discredit the zero, unless we want to do this for every winter storm. 69.118.237.29 (talk) 21:41, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
