Rename page

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. Mind matrix 20:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename: North Battleford, Saskatchewan → North Battleford

This is the primary use of the term, and possibly the only use. An internet search which excludes the terms "Saskatchewan" and "Canada" finds nearly 65,000 hits, the first dozen pages of which are related to this city. Per WP:CANSTYLE, the city should have the undisambiguated title, which currently points here anyway. Mind matrix 15:30, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looting of Battleford

Proposed merger of Looting of Battleford into the history section of Battleford, Saskatchewan please comment if you have an opinion one way or t'other. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 16:05, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2012 unexplained noises

Shouldn't be difficult to find better sources for this. This is just an example: [1] If it's notable for inclusion in a BBC documentary, it's probably notable enough for this article. I'm sure I'd never have heard of this place otherwise. I don't think it's ever been fully explained. Not sure if "Climate" is the right section, but not sure where would be better.

Thanks for the response. I think it could be included if there was an explanation for the noise.-- Kayoty (talk) 00:45, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What a very curious approach. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:53, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

North Battleford Mystery

Removed the following section called; "North Battleford Mystery".... North Battleford is one of a number of locations where eerie sounds, seemingly coming out of the sky, were heard by inhabitants. They occurred in January 2012. A BBC documentary recorded them and describes them as unearthly sounds reminding of trumpets. Their origin is not known and gave rise to several theories, such as an alien origin.

New information has shown that these sounds were created by the wind blowing through construction pipes making sounds in the same manner as a pipe organ would. This is not notable. -- Kayoty (talk) 16:37, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
