Linate Airport disaster → Linate airport disaster – Decapitalise the 'a' in airport to make it consistent with Tenerife airport disaster. 106.214.168.91 (talk) 05:49, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ Oppose due to later arguments presented. Tai123.123 (talk) 07:57, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The official name of the airport is Linate Airport, with capitals. Denisarona (talk) 10:17, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Should keep consistent with 1938 Jersey Airport disaster, 1955 MacArthur Airport United Airlines crash, 2015 Shoreham Airshow crash, and Linate Airport. The article is about a "Linate Airport" disaster more than about a Linate "airport disaster". On the other hand, Tenerife airport disaster is not about a "Tenerife Airport" disaster as the airport was named "Los Rodeos Airport" (and is now named "Tenerife North–Ciudad de La Laguna Airport" and, there is a different airport called Tenerife South Airport). --R. S. Shaw (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There is a significant justfication for the difference in the naming; the Tenerife airport was not named "Tenerife Airport", while Linate Airport is properly called such. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 21:41, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath section

The middle part of the current version of the "Aftermath" section is unclear. It reads:

The pardon law issued by the Italian Parliament on 29 July 2006 reduced all convictions by three years. On 7 July 2006, Fusco and Federico were acquitted by the Milan Appeals Court. The controller Zacchetti's sentence was reduced to three years. In addition three more people were sentenced for multiple manslaughter and negligent disaster: former ENAV director general Fabio Marzocca to four years and four months, and; former SEA airports agency officials Antonio Cavanna and Lorenzo Grecchi each to three years and three months.

First, the pardon is dated after the date of the acquittal given in the sentence after it, and it is not clear why it is misordered in that way. Also, it's not clear who it applies to; if it applies to the sentences in the preceding part of the paragraph, then it implies that the pardon was in part for Fusco and Federico who were already acquitted on appeal several weeks before the pardon (& thus nonsensical).

Was Zacchetti's reduction by the same appeal? When were the "three more people" sentenced? Wouldn't that have happened before the July 2006 actions, and thus about the time of the sentences given in the opening of the paragraph, and hence reduced by 3 years by the pardon?

Not helping, none of these statements have references. I had been thinking of trying to straighten out the prose, but then saw not enough was included to determine how the narrative should be structured. -- R. S. Shaw (talk) 21:07, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Linate Airport disaster → 2001 Linate Airport runway collision – The current title is not a common name in english language reliable sources and WP:DISASTER generally recommends that the titling of an article should not include "disaster". WP:NCE#Aviation recommends that if two or more aircraft are involved, a where and what should generally be followed, which in this case is (Milan) Linate Airport and runway collision. And as for consistency, most articles on events where two or more aircraft collided generally use a <year> <location/airport> <(runway) collision> format, which overall, would make the title more descriptive whilst staying concise and precise.
