Requested move 5 July 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 Grand Rapids Aerodrome. Clear consensus that this topic is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Grand Rapids Airport". During the discussion, "Grand Rapids Aerodrome" was proposed as an alternate destination for the move, and this alternate proposal was identified as favorable per WP:CONSISTENT and WP:NATURAL. As for the DAB page, I see a consensus to move it to Grand Rapids Airport as proposed. (closed by non-admin page mover) ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

– While this is the exact match in terms of title name, this airport is significantly less known and used than Gerald R. Ford International Airport, which serves Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. The clickthrough rate to the DAB from the hatnote according to WikiNav is 65%. It seems like this is not the WP:PTOPIC for Grand Rapids Airport, despite the exact name match.

Support per nom. It also looks like all or nearly all of the outgoing traffic from the DAB page goes to the airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan [1]. I think it's worth considering that that could be the primary topic. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support a move but to Grand Rapids Aerodrome. In Canada aerodrome#Canada is an official designation and would be in line with the others in the various categories, Category:Registered aerodromes in Manitoba. When I created these years ago I made a mistake and put them all at airport. Since then I've moved some but not all as can been seen by the number of "Airport" in the above category.

I support that naming as well. That allows for it to be able to maintain a name with a disambiguator. TartarTorte 13:18, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Partial support – I support CambridgeBayWeather's proposal, but with the caveat that Grand Rapids Airport redirects to the Manitoba aerodrome. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:15, 12 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
