All the material in this article was removed by User:Novaseminary, with the following summary: "rm unsoruced material (tagged almost two years)".
I've restored the material for the moment. While it does not give sources, I see nothing which it is in any way implausible, unlikely or controversial. I'm a European ecologist not an American one, but all the material fits with what I know of equivalent habitats in Europe (the see-also to these was for some reason also deleted [see further comment below]). The article needs expanding, and needs references, but deletion is not appropriate at this stage – a search for sources would be a constructive way of proceeding.
As for notability: it's a defined segment of a biome, which seems to have wide acceptance in academic literature. I don't know enough about N American habitats to judge whether there are other articles which cover the same material. If there are, we can consider merging them: if not, this subject is certainly notable enough to stand on its own. Richard New Forest ( talk) 10:20, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't really see what the problem is. This kind of vegetation community description is the way it's done in ecology, and no, it's clearly not a "red car". Ecological communities are not just jumbles of things which happen to occur together, they are suites of organisms which relate to and depend upon each other and require similar conditions. All natural habitat is formed of such communities. In principle each distinguishable community is as notable (or in many cases perhaps more so) than the species it is composed of, and this particular community does seem to be a significant one. It only took me a moment to find the refs I've just added, and no doubt a North American ecologist could find very many more in no time – it would of course be nice to have a ref for the formal scientific description.
I've left the notability tag on for the moment, but I'm not really sure what else we need to show notability. Richard New Forest ( talk) 21:09, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Oak-heath forest. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
