An edit war seems to be breaking out over Horizon Air Flight 2059, which may be moved back to Alaska Airlines Flight 2059 (again) by the time I hit "Add topic". I previously proposed to move CommutAir Flight 4933 to United Express Flight 4933 per WP:COMMONNAME, but the proposal failed to reach consensus. There seems to be little consistency when naming articles about flights operated by a regional airline, e.g., Horizon Air or CommuteAir, under a major airline's brand name, e.g., United Express, American Eagle, Air Canada Jazz, etc. For instance, the article about American Eagle Flight 4184 uses the brand name rather than the actual operator. My personal opinion is that WP:COMMONNAME should control, which means the brand name would control in most cases, but I think some consensus is needed. Carguychris (talk) 17:54, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
Why don't we mention the tragic event in the main title? Like for example 2001 shootdown Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 is much informative than just the flight number, no? It's what we do with all other types of tragic events. Sidney.Cortez (talk) 00:24, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi there - I saw this edit @Jetstreamer made on Royal Air Maroc correctly undoing an addition as unsourced. This accident actually has its own article 1975 Agadir Royal Air Maroc Boeing 707 crash which was not linked in the uncited edit.
However, this led me to two questions which I thought I'd bring up:
Figured I'd just ask these questions here for you given your involvement and knowledge of aviation style/guidelines (and tag @Steelpillow and @Ckfasdf who are also knowledgable) for discussion. Avgeekamfot (talk) 18:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
