Requested move 6 September 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Per discussion below, scope and content of article should be altered to take this change into account, and even then, the conciseness of a proposed title should be considered (along with, as always, common name usage).

Winter storm naming in the United Kingdom and IrelandWinter storm naming in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland – The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute joined the storm naming project, therefore it makes sense to me to change the title.

  • Oppose per WP:CONCISE. Additionally, the article makes no mention of this claim. Even so, the proposed title is unwieldy, and the current title is fine, esp. if the Netherlands joined after the project began. --IJBall (contribstalk) 13:37, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

I note that the three countries seem to call themselves "west Europe group", maybe the article should match this name. Quote from Met Office "Last year the Met Office and Met Éireann welcomed KNMI - the national weather forecasting service in the Netherlands - to the west Europe group. Other European countries to name impactful storms include France, Spain and Portugal in south-west Europe and Sweden, Norway and Denmark in northern Europe."

Requested move 5 December 2021[edit]

Winter storm naming in the United Kingdom and IrelandWinter storm naming in Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom – We are now into the third year of KNMI participating in the common storm naming scheme with the meteorological services of Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the rationale for excluding the Netherlands - not only from the title, but also, as a consequence, from much of the article body - is becoming increasingly tenuous. We should therefore change the article title to include the Netherlands.

In addition, writing "the United Kingdom and Ireland" in that order is a very UK-centric way of viewing the world (and I say that as a citizen and resident of the United Kingdom). If we use more neutral alphabetical ordering, then we should write Ireland and the United Kingdom - or, in this case, the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

When do these run from to? 2A00:23C7:B484:F800:25C5:146A:B06D:4F3E (talk) 07:47, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename[edit]

I boldly decided to rename the article to Winter storm naming in Europe earlier, since with 25 countries partcipating it seems to be one major naming scheme like tropical cyclone naming rather than just one single naming scheme related to just the UK. Subject to what I find while researching I may need to rename it once again or merge it with the American Scheme but we can cross that bridge later.Jason Rees (talk) 02:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
