Requested move 14 March 2023

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: moved to Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar. After this alternate title was proposed, participants came to a consensus that it best reflected current use while also avoiding the WP:RECOGNIZABILITY issues of "Donyi Polo Airport" alone.

Of the three links: the 1st is a connection that times out, the 2nd gives an error code, and 3rd contains almost no information. They are not really evidence of anything.-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

The way to access the first link is through a web archive Airports Authority of India, Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar The page is evidence that the official name is Donyi Polo Airport.-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose. Hardly WP:COMMONNAME. The city is still Itanagar. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
• Comment Google searches (excluding Wiki) produce the following results. I am surprised; it seemed obvious to me that "Itanagar Airport" should be the most common, but the reverse appears to be true.

Because of airport was Inaugurated by Narendra Modi and Indian media showed it overwhelmingly WikiEdits2003 (talk) 17:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Usually users generally searches Airport with their respective names of cities with some exceptions WikiEdits2003 (talk) 17:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

What WikiEdits2003's links show is that sources that use "Donyi Polo Airport" take the trouble to tell readers where it is. For example, ThePrint^[6] says "Itanagar's Donyi Polo Airport", and IndiGo^[7] says "Donyi Polo airport, Itanagar".
"Donyi Polo Airport" is a fairly useless article name. But "Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar" would work as an article name.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:59, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Title in Articles is different from title in real and popular WikiEdits2003 (talk) 18:38, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

But i also agree that user may get confused So it shall be titled Donyi Polo airport, Itanagar

Or

Need Consensus ??

WikiEdits2003 (talk) 18:41, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

@WikiEdits2003: What happens is that it gets discussed over a number of days (typically a week, but it can be a month) and then an uninvolved experienced editor closes the discussion, and makes the move, or not. If you are interested, you could read the closing instructions.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

No I'm not such person who usually Moves page without ending discussion

So thanks for guidance WikiEdits2003 (talk) 19:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose. "Donyi Polo Airport". Support Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar. (See discussion above). -- Toddy1 (talk) 19:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

  Support < from the nom for: > Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar WikiEdits2003 (talk) 19:30, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

• Support Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar per discussion above. This joint name is used a decent amount in sources, and is also the name the airport appears to use on Twitter, which also shows a sign for "Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar" in the actual airport in its banner. (I'm not sure if that second part is usable – I have not verified whether that Twitter account actually belongs to the airport, but a quick scan of its posting history seems to support that it does, and it has been @'d by the Airports Authority of India's account, which is legacy verified itself.)
