Will this winter storm get a commons category, since I may get some pictures of this storm. My city currently has a 75% chance of snow at the moment, so I will likely get pictures of the snow to upload to Wikimedia Commons.DachshundLover82 (talk) 16:41, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can upload the pictures first, or create a commons category and then upload the pictures. If there are pictures, I can create a category on Commons. It will probably be under something like "Mid-February 2021 North American winter storm" or "Mid-February 2021 North American blizzard".

This article is too focused on Dallas area. Texas was undergoing a state-wide crisis. Some paragraphs are not particularly relevant to the broader Texas electricity crisis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.201.228.202 (talk) 17:47, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same storm as the February 11-14 storm complex that impacted the Pacific Northwest and the articles should be merged. An example of this is that they're both named Uri by The Weather Channel, clearly indicating they are related. Wikicanada1127 (talk) 17:11, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They are not the same systems, the 11th-14th system was Tabitha which just moved off the coast last night. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 18:07, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the weather channel article about Uri it says "it's the same system that produced 11.1 inches in Seattle". Wikicanada1127 (talk) 22:59, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also Tabitha was the storm that brought ice to the Mid-Atlantic. Wikicanada1127 (talk) 23:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikicanada1127: The two systems were very close to one another and affected the Pacific Northwest just days apart, but they are NOT the same. However, MarioProtIV, I think (a) we need to combine the articles because it is really hard to keep track of the different impacts from each or (b) better expound upon both of them because it is a little confusing.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 01:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The large snowstorm that affected the PMW was Uri the one that brought the ice storm to the Mid Atlantic. How about we create and article named "Mid February North American winter storms" or something like that? Wikicanada1127 (talk) 05:29, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. We rarely make articles for multiple storms together. In the vast majority of cases, each notable storm gets its own article. The only exception would be if a large group of storms occurred in rapid succession and had overlapping impacts, such as January 2010 North American winter storms or 2017 California floods (though for the later case, there are 3–4 notable storms that still need their own articles). LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can we all acknowledge the fact that the Weather Channel names storms for publicity purposes? This statement comes from the NWS: "The National Weather Service does not name winter storms because a winter storm's impact can vary from one location to another, and storms can weaken and redevelop, making it difficult to define where one ends and another begins." So in other words... yes this could very well be the same storm. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:50, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's all a matter of opinion. While I personally support the practice of naming winter storms (in line with what UK Met and FU Berlin have been doing over in Europe), I will not force the issue on WP, and I don't think that we should make a big fuss over this controversy either. We have decided not to use The Weather Channel's names as the title for any of those storms, and since it is an unofficial practice (not endorsed or done by any of the U.S. agencies), there really isn't a right or a wrong way of handling the names. I don't see how further arguing over this issue will lead to anything productive. As long as our articles are accurate and of decent quality, I think we're okay. And the two storms are clearly separate systems. "Tabita" is the disorganized mess that moved off the East Coast of the U.S. on February 14, while "Uri" is the historic storm currently moving out of Texas and across the Eastern U.S. right now. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 22:50, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was strongly opposed; should we remove or move it from the top of the lead too? Don't think we need to give TWC's naming such prominence, even if not the title. Reywas92^Talk 20:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Um, I'm going to point out that there were some exceedingly bad arguments made here. Yes, there are tons of articles where "unofficial" names are used, and in fact that's exactly what

WP:NOTCENSORED - we don't censor or change our content just because a government agency wants it to be that way. I am unsure if the name is the common name for the storm or not, but these sorts of arguments were not helpful, nor was the early close before anyone could combat such arguments. I also think that the use of these names should be revisited as a whole based on the fact that they are now in very common usage across multiple media outlets, thus making the names frequently the common name. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 20:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

Even literally Google is calling it "Winter Storm Uri" on their homepage in Chrome now. WP:OFFICIALNAMESONLY is a red link for a reason. I intend to, if I get time soon, open a new move request armed with more information. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 02:26, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical storms naming are officially recognized globally. Unofficially recognized naming of winter storms by the weather channel is a weather marketing effort to draw attention to their reporting. I do not think promoting TWC's unofficial naming is appropriate in this or other storm articles.Doyna Yar (talk) 20:35, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That was great when they first started. Now, multiple organizations unaffiliated with TWC have started using the names in their reporting. As such, a redirect is appropriate, and per

MOS:BOLDLEAD the alternative name should be prominent and bolded for readers to see that they've arrived at the right article. Sure, it may be a marketing tactic, but that doesn't mean we can ignore it when it is widely used by the public and multiple other news organizations. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 20:38, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply

]

@Doyna Yar: You can call TWC's naming of weather systems a marketing effort to draw attention to their reporting, however, that argument ignores several facts that need to be taken into consideration. Firstly, not all tropical cyclone naming is official and we would use unofficial names if a system was notable enough to deserve an article but not named officially. Hell we can't even say that all of the RSMC/TCWC's (Official warning centers) name tropical cyclones. Secondly, some winter storms are named by weather services associated with the World Meteorological Organization, including by the United Kingdom Met Office and Met Eireann. While the majority of highs and low in Europe year-round get named by FU Berlin, which as far as I know is backed by the German Met Service. Thirdly you are ignoring the fact that TWC has been naming for 9 years now which is a very long time for a marketing ploy. As a result, I feel that its fine to include the names in Wikipedia articles, especially since we are not censored.Jason Rees (talk) 17:06, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found this source for 23 deaths in Texas. Would these be considered as direct or indirect because the article doesn't make it exactly clear. ~~ 🏅🌀𝕾𝖚𝖕𝖊𝖗 𝕮𝖞𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖆🌀🏅 14:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it seems it could warrant its own thing Camdoodlebop (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• The correct way to approach a question like this is to develop any content that would be used in such an article here. One of two things will happen - the amount of content that can be added (within
  indiscriminate information, will make this page woefully too long, and it can be split easily at that time; or it will be discovered that the information that exists and merits placement in Wikipedia can be covered sufficiently here without making the page longer. Subpages/spinoff pages are not created simply because it may warrant it - editorial discretion to keep articles manageable in size (not too short/specific, not too long/broad) does. And as of right now, the amount of content regarding Texas impacts in this page does not merit spinning it off at all. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 00:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply
  ]

I also feel there should be a separate page (e.g. Texas Winter Storm and Energy Crisis). Already the section on Texas is longer than any other section in this article, and there is still a lot more information to add: the federal response, background on Texas' independent power grid, food supply chain breakdown... I think it is easily enough content to warrant its own article. Moreover, many people are searching for information on the crisis in Texas now and they are much less likely to find it if it is all contained under the heading "February 13–17, 2021 North American winter storm." Burritok (talk) 04:32, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should be a separate article, to not unbalance this article. It involves matters not directly related to this storm, since it involves the politics of windmills, underinvestment, political deflection, the failure of the natural gas system, and also of coal; and CNN is showing hte failure of the public works dept in clearly snow in comparison to the electrified Arkansas. -- 65.93.183.33 (talk) 09:20, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I really think the main image should be of the storm or a map of its impacts over the southern plains / Texas. Virtually none of the most historic / significant impacts were in the Northeast yet that is where the storm is in the infobox's graphic. Master of Time (talk) 23:59, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Would this article benefit from being split into another one called "2021 Texas Electricity Crisis"?

I think using this article to speak about the meteorology and geography of the storm, and linking it to an article focused on its social and political effects in Texas would benefit readers. That article could highlight infrastructural neglect, inequality in the water and power grid, and track longer effects on Texan society. One of the dominant streams of discussion around this storm is how the effects of this storm is disproportionately affecting minority populations in Texan metros. The reason why this disproportionate effect occurs is because of longer-term deregulations and shorter-term responses, especially attitudes of climate change denial amongst legislators. I feel that a meteorological article and a societal article have different standards of cause-and-effect which should not be mixed here.

• I don't think the article should be renamed to Winter Storm Uri, as I haven't seen it be used before reading this article and I live in Houston. I do think it should have a simpler name than "February 13-17, 2021 North American winter storm"; it's not very catchy and a pain to type out. Just my two cents.

I think we should to the article about the temperatures, which is the main cause for such an event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Beryman (talk • contribs) 14:57, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The word "temperature" already appears 17 times. What exactly are you proposing? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:04, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking we should cover the effects also outside of the US, as the affected regions also say Southern Greenland. Anyone have any info to add? --Djstriker91 (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not address how the storm impacted low-income and minority communities disproportionately (especially in Houston), especially since these communities were also those already hit hardest by the pandemic. I think it would be a valuable addition either as a separate heading or subheading under impact. Also, the "Aftermath" section is extremely short and could benefit from additional information about the long-term consequences of the storm, such as legislative plans to improve Texas' energy infrastructure. One other potential change could be to separate the "Preparations and impact" section into two separate section with a more concise summary of preparations and a full section just for "Impact" detailing the storm's effects. I think this would aid the organizational clarity. Also, even though there is already a separate page on the Texas power crisis, including a separate section on this page referencing the Texas power grid's failure could be beneficial for additional context.

Scholarly reports

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of February 13–17, 2021 North American winter storm's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "NCEI":
