Winter Storm Emma (2018)Storm Emma (2018) – Per WP:CONSISTENCY. Using "Storm" before the storm name is a common practice for European windstorm naming. B dash (talk) 10:01, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I don't know why this storm merits an article of its own, it should probably be merged into 2018 Great Britain and Ireland cold wave or the relevant windstorm season page. It wasn't even investigated by Perils (https://www.perils.org/losses) and does not exceed their qualification criteria, which is generally the threshold used to assess notability of European windstorms.Lacunae (talk) 16:32, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've always wondered why we have two articles covering this subject. I was going to suggest moving the information from the cold wave to this article, particularly as that one includes some data relating to other countries outside the sphere of the British Isles. However, Storm Emma did not cause that cold spell, but perhaps prolonged it, so I think yours is the better suggestion. At some point let's have a go at merging it with 2018 Great Britain and Ireland cold wave, though I guess we can't do anything immediately since the move discussion will need to run its course. Storm Emma should have an entry on the relevant European windstorm page though. This is Paul (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
