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)[reply]
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.

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) ..."

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)[reply]
I mean most of these sources have at the very least chapters about the Battle of Nicosia Airport so im not sure what else you need, the details in said chapters are also generally specific so there isnt room for an OR either. ShovelandSpade (talk) 07:02, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also can I ask why the article name was changed as if im not wrong the only time there was a battle for Nicosia airport was 1974 so adding the year is unecessary and its a lot harder to find than "battle of Nicosia Airport" ShovelandSpade (talk) 09:50, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ShovelandSpade: Entire chapters in academic works would likely suffice for significant coverage -> notability. Thank you. Can you name the books that have those chapters?
