The result of the move request was: Moved to 1911–12 United States cold wave. There is a consensus that 1911 should also be in the title, and also a consensus to use the en-dash.(closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 18:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1912 United States cold wave → November 1911 - March 1912 United States cold wave – Not just in 1912, and not all of 1912 74.101.118.197 (talk) 23:49, 12 August 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 08:13, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. Currently the article briefly mentions that November 1911 was cold for November, which is different from being cold overall. (The coldest July probably would not qualify for a "cold wave" article.) It's also sourced to a raw stats website rather than a secondary source (e.g. a newspaper indicating that this November attracted special attention). Until the article covers this chilly November in more detail and shows it was a genuine part of the topic, it seems more like prelude/background material for the main event, which was the winter of 1912.

Not with a hyphen: Such constructions call for an en dash, not a hyphen, per MOS:DATERANGE. No comment on other aspects —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:23, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose inclusion of months as undue detail. Maybe there's an argument for 1911–1912 United States cold wave (though I don't have an opinion one way or the other on that). Graham (talk) 07:14, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move to 1911–12 United States cold wave per the nominator's argument regarding the years, and use a "YYYY–YY" format instead of "YYYY–YYYY" since the years are consecutive. Steel1943 (talk) 21:26, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
move to 1911–12 United States cold wave per Steel1943, and Graham11, and en-dash per BarrelProof. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
