Talk:CAAC (airline)

Requested move 2 February 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: no consensus. There is no consensus around the degree to which the current title satisfies WP:COMMONNAME (or WP:NATURALDIS). A future discussion might be more productive if it includes evidence of RS usage. (closed by non-admin page mover) Colin M (talk) 21:25, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

CAAC Airlines → CAAC (airline) – I'm not sure whether the word 'Airlines' comes from a reliable source or if it's just a made-up name but it seems made-up here as almost no source refers it to as CAAC Airlines but just CAAC. I think that the name should be CAAC (airline). 27.56.146.28 (talk) 05:30, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose. It seems that the topic of this article was a division of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, which would presumably be abbreviated as just CAAC. So it seems confusing to me to call this article "CAAC (airline)". This source (cited in the article) uses the name "CAAC Airlines". —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:36, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * planespotters.net is not a reliable source to use. And CAAC Airlines just seems to be a made-up name here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.177.59.55 (talk) 03:31, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, but surely it's not correct that the aviation administration and its division are both referred to only by the same name "CAAC". The sources that use "CAAC" alone are probably referring to the aviation administration as a whole. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:26, 3 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose. We prefer natural disambiguation and CAAC Airlines is both common and recognisable. I don't think nom can have looked very hard for occurrences! Yes, CAAC is a valid primary redirect to Civil Aviation Administration of China and there is a hatnote there to CAAC (disambiguation), which is good enough but another hatnote direct to CAAC Airlines would be even better IMO.

 * Could you possibly provide sourcing that CAAC Airlines was the common name and not just a made-up name? Even I prefer wp:natural disambiguation but to prove that it isn't a made-up name, is there any source which refers it as CAAC Airlines?
