Notability
Very little WP:SIGCOV on this event in high quality sources as being a "notable" battle during the Military operations during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. This battle is already covered under the section 23 July 1974 in that article, and hard to see why this article would not be redirected to that section? thanks.

- With that logic dont cover any battles in 1974 because theyre mentioned in that article. ShovelandSpade (talk) 19:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- We have separate articles on topics that get independent standalone coverage by quality independent sources. Where they don't (i.e. there doesn't seem to be anybody covering the "Battle of Nicosia Airport", they can still appear as events in larger articles that cover the larger notable overall battle. Creating a "Battle of Nicosia Airport", when no quality independent source uses that term is original research. Aszx5000 (talk) 20:09, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Think you may need to look up what original research is mate. Anyways, one of the largest battles that took place in the whole conflict with both political and military ramifications is definitely notable and has been covered by many as the sources in the main article display so im not actually sure what youre talking about, maybe there arent many books on the specific battle but I dont think thats criteria for having its own article. ShovelandSpade (talk) 10:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- We have specific criteria for notability, ShovelandSpade, and part of those is demonstrating that the article has seen "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Claiming that the topic "has been covered by many ... sources" without proof is not adequate. Aszx5000, if you think the sourcing is not there, I would bring it to WP:AFD.
- Regardless of notability, this article can't remain at this title as "Battle of Nicosia Airport" does not appear to be used in academic literature. See WP:COMMONNAME: "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's official name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources) ..."

- Battle was too large and had too many implications to be included in another article. ShovelandSpade (talk) 17:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ShovelandSpade: That doesn't mean it's notable... see the first thing that I quoted above. Ed [talk] [OMT] 00:29, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Currently adding better sources, Im not sure where you came to the conclusion that there arent enough published secondary sources, ive done a quick search and found many. ShovelandSpade (talk) 08:53, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- I also did a search and saw sources, but the number of sources that mention the event are not a factor in notability. Whether or not those sources provide "significant coverage" of the topic does. Ed [talk] [OMT] 18:12, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
