Rain and Snow

 * ... that the American murder ballad Rain and Snow was performed by the Grateful Dead throughout their career?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article is well-cited, including the hook statement. (Well, the fact that it's a murder ballad is not explicitly cited, but given the obvious subject matter, I don't think it needs to be; the Grateful Dead statement is explicitly cited and that's what matters.) It's long enough at about 2440 characters of prose, and new enough with a 25 November creation date. As far as copyvio goes, the article is sourced from a good array of different articles. Earwig's Detector is thrown off by the blockquote in the article, but besides that it appears fine. I think that's all. Looks good to me! — AJDS talk 10:29, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The fact that it's a murder ballad IS cited, in the lead. Yoninah (talk) 20:32, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * That would be because I added it afterwards. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:36, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
