Article Title

User:Chamath237 has re-named this article from Ratmalana Airport to Colombo Airport without any explanation. I am going to revert. The main policy used to determine an article's title is WP:COMMONNAME. User:Chamath237 / User:Jpchamathdj should establish the common name here before re-naming the article.

A quick Google search for "Colombo Airport" shows that most references to "Colombo Airport" are in fact referring to Bandaranaike International Airport.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 12:44, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ratmalana Airport → Ratmalana International Airport – Airport officially renamed Themanlk (talk) 06:58, 8 October 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Sceptre (talk) 20:07, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - There are no international flights and, more importantly, a quick Google search shows Ratmalana Airport to be the most common name. Official names mean nothing in Wikipedia - something the editors who have re-named Jaffna Airport and Batticaloa Airport need to understand.--Obi2canibe (talk) 11:52, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana → Ratmalana International Airport – Current title is not the most common one and it's also conflicting with the main international airport in Colombo 2001:878:0:E000:82:E2:A1:33 (talk) 08:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

Although I agree with you that the title you're proposing makes more sense than the actual name of the airport, that's the name supported by all the sources. And the move you're referring to was done 10 years ago. Dr. Vogel (talk) 20:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, there was another move last year. This is a WP:PCM. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting for a last time to attempt to gain more input, as this move was previously disputed BilledMammal (talk) 16:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
