Plan to move
[edit]I've been working on an article which is undergoing a Featured Article Review Wikipedia:Featured article review/Great Lakes Storm of 1913/archive2 and ran into an issue. "November gale", "November Witch" and "Witch of November" all somewhat mean the same thing. "November gale" is by far the most commonly used term in publications literature. I think that the two "witch" terms are more common as poetic venues, of course popularized by Lightfoot's song. So the flagged issue is that using the more common term "November gale" term is redlinked in the article. I was thinking of creating a "November gale" article but it would be 90% a duplication of this topic. Or, if done as a redirect to here at the Witch of November article, we'd be making the more commonly used term a re=direct to the poetic name. So IMO the best thing would be to move this article to November gale. If that somehow is determined to be ambiguous, it could change to November gale (Great Lakes). And leave a redirect here.

"Month of storms"
[edit]Born/raised/live where I can drive to three of the 5 lakes and Georgian Bay in <2 hrs and have never heard of November being referred to as "the month of storms". ~2026-30915-37 (talk) 20:42, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
