2024 Delta Air Lines meltdown → 2024 Delta Air Lines disruption – "Meltdown" is a weird choice, I feel like it's about a nuclear reactor. I'm open to other suggestions, as long as it moves away from this particular one. PhotographyEdits (talk) 08:42, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose "disruption" I would keep "meltdown" because that's what most news calls it. CNN, Politico, Skift, Forbes, AJC (its hometown paper of record), Seattle Times (another hub paper of record), WSJ, even the U.S. Senate. Disruption sounds too run of the mill and mirror's Delta's evasive PR speak. As noted below, would be ok with "operational crisis" which matches the Southwest article.

• Support. While some sources do use "meltdown", it's not the overwhelming majority to the point where it's a WP:COMMONNAME. The more literal "disruption" helps with clarity. 162 etc. (talk) 15:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
• Support. The current title is over-dramatized clickbait. Compare to 2022 Southwest Airlines scheduling crisis. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:42, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

  While I think meltdown is fine (as the common name), I would support "2024 Delta Air Lines operational crisis". Again, minimizing it as "disruption" when most sources call it "meltdown" sounds like what Delta's PR flacks would do, not neutral. Avgeekamfot (talk) 09:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

  Thoughts on "operational crisis" @BarrelProof @162 etc. @PhotographyEdits? Disruption also strikes me as vague since airlines regularly experience disruption when this article is specifically about the meltdown/crisis. Avgeekamfot (talk) 09:37, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

  While you can argue that "disruption" isn't NPOV, you can definitely say that "meltdown" and "crisis" are not, either. 162 etc. (talk) 18:13, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

• Support. "Meltdown" would seem to have a destructive connotation that doesn't fit here. "Shutdown" seems best to me. I could also see "interruption," "outage," or "disruption."

• Support because "meltdown" sounds kind of destructive. ‹hamster717🐉› ^{(discuss anything!🐹✈️ • my contribs🌌🌠)} 21:21, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
