I added a link from Sud Aviation Caravelle, does that satisfy the requirements for links from other articles? Geardona (talk) 15:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 8 December 2023 edit

1970 Berrechid crash1970 Berrechid Royal Air Maroc Caravelle crash – This page was initially named the proposed title but WikiOriginal-9 (the page reviewer) renamed it to 1970 Berrechid, Morocco crash without an edit summary [1] which was then superseded by DragonflySixtyseven to 1970 Berrechid crash [2], claiming it was "better this way". The original title now holds as a redirect and cannot be moved manually but more importantly, I don't see any improvements across the board with the title of this page. The title is vague and contravenes all other aviation accident titles without a flight number (examples: 1973 Kano Nigeria Airways Boeing 707 crash or 1996 Croatia USAF CT-43 crash). See the essay at WP:AATF on how to name aviation accident titles without flight numbers. GalacticOrbits (talk) 08:08, 8 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

From what I've seen, it's standard for [placenames in the titles of our articles on disasters] to not have disambiguators — e.g., Lac-Mégantic rail disaster instead of "Lac-Mégantic, Quebec rail disaster" — but apparently there's a different standard for aviation incidents.
