Talk:List of personalities on The Weather Channel

Marshall Seese Retired
It just feels like Marshall Seese should have the word "Retired" next to his name. I happened to have been watching his final days and beleive me when I say it was a happy ending to his career. I don't like to do any edits on the front page of the article! Thank-You!!! Lesbrown99 (talk) 04:36, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced or improperly referenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. A pre-existing article in Wikipedia for the person may demonstrate notability for inclusion. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:


 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Personalities?
I'm not American and I may just be out of touch with the culture, but I cannot imagine an article in my country with such a name.

"List of presenters on The Weather Channel" would seem much more normal to me. Using "Personalities" seems to be an indication that the writers have been caught up in media marketing hype. HiLo48 (talk) 05:03, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * They are called personalities in the United States and any television station is like this over here, so since this is an article pertaining to the United States, I would have to disagree.  --  Z L  Media  22:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)


 * That's cool. It just seems over the top to me to call someone a personality just because they've appeared on TV, but I'll defer to local knowledge. HiLo48 (talk) 22:28, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

People and shows
I liked the way the Hosts used to be displayed it looked so much better than it does now ACase0000 (talk) 05:52, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I put them Back the way they were before, Someone needs to create a separate article on Shows and Hosts, I am Just Saying that it looks better. ACase0000 (talk) 07:47, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 August 2014
I would like to edit the List of personalities on The Weather Channel page

WalkerLawson (talk) 18:20, 8 August 2014 (UTC) Need to change all the information, because it is projected wrongfully Julie Martin	2006–	Weather Center Live* I am a reliable source because, I work for The Weather Channel and my job is to make sure that all edits going into or about anything on The Weather Channel are carefully handled, the person who has this page on lock does not even work for the company and is showing information that is wrong, I need to able to post about new staff members, shows and I cannot do that with this page locked/


 * wikipedia cannot accept edits that are not WP:CITEd to a reliable source. Claimed personal knowledge is not acceptable because nobody knows who "you" are, and nobody can just contact you at any time they want to verify it all. Due to extensive bad edits from many editors promoting your shows and personalities, we have had to lock the page and more strictly check for compliance with our policies.

Possible move
Is there really enough content on here to make this article separate? Back in October, I did remove a majority of the personalities that did not have a wiki article, therefore making them not notable per WP:LISTPEOPLE. I think this list could be added to the The Weather Channel section and would be a better fit there. Thoughts?  Corkythehornetfan  |  Chat?  23:19, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ For what it's worth, the article is pretty minimal now, so sure it can fit into the main Weather Channel article now.  --  Z L  Media  11:06, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ I've moved it to The Weather Channel  Corkythehornetfan  |  Chat?  00:26, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
