Name of the Airport

Why was the airport article moved/renamed from New Castle Airport without discussion? The official name is the New Castle Airport, all signage on the site says New Castle Airport, and the Delaware River & Bay Authority which owns and operates the airport refers to it only as the New Castle Airport (http://www.newcastleairportilg.com/) (http://www.drba.net/AbouttheDRBA/Facilities.aspx). Seems counterintuitive to have it linked to a name that is not used anywhere on the site. Superman7515 (talk) 19:04, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
