Subtropical Storm Alberto → Subtropical Storm Alberto (2018) – Per WP:CONSISTENCY. There are similar article that followed the pattern that add the year for the subtropical storm, such as Nicole in 2004 and Andrea in 2007. B dash ( talk) 16:10, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
For Atlantic hurricanes, there is a list of names for each of six years.QuickWittedHare ( talk) 20:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
In my opinion, there is not enough on this storm to be a complete article. It will, in the future, likely have enough but for now I don't think it is necessary to have a separate article for Alberto... its just not significant enough yet. INFOWeather1 ( talk) 16:58, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Did nobody notice the draft I was creating in my sandbox? I didn't even know this was created, and I was already progressing on it before this was even made. I also noticed that much of this was copy-pasted from the draft I had in my sandbox. Cooper 18:18, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Alberto has undergone tropical transition much later than was expected. Even though it has acquired tropical characteristics, it did not peak as a tropical cyclone. What are we going to call it now? Cooper 02:59, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
TCR confirms it was a tropical, not subtropical, storm at peak (and that takes precedence). However, a future "Subtropical Storm Alberto" WILL require the year, since 2018 was subtropical for the first part of its life. CrazyC83 ( talk) 01:22, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
I just removed a ton of trivial mentions of other storms in the lead section which is meant to summarize the article as a whole. I understand that this was a strange storm as it strengthened over land, but this should be included in its own section on the article. Another option is to go with a mention under the "Meteorological history" section. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 17:38, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
I think the "Record" paragraph should be removed, and integrated into the meteorological history. To point it out in its own paragraph in the lead seems to go against WP:SUMMARY, but the information is worth keeping. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 00:56, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
Contrary to what is in the text, Alberto was a subtropical storm at peak intensity and it is only once inland that it becasuse a tropical depression (see the sequence of messages by the NHC at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2018/ALBERTO.shtml). The name should be reverted to Subtropical storm Alberto.
