Talk:Midway International Airport

26 Sep 2014 Aurora ATC fire
Why can’t the 26 September 2014 Aurora ATC fire which grounded all traffic at Midway Airport, with multiple sources, be mentioned in Midway Airport? If a link changes and someone deletes it, shouldn’t they replace it with the current link? Does “(Not related to this airport other than they both being in Illinois)” sound polite?

Chicago Midway International Airport → Midway International Airport – The article for O'Hare simply uses the titling O'Hare International Airport, as opposed to "Chicago O'Hare International Airport". Therefore, I think this article should simply be titled "Midway International Airport" instead of "Chicago Midway International AIrport". --Relisted.

 * Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport all include the city in the name. Who but a Southwest passenger would know where Midway is without Chicago? Sammy D III (talk) 01:33, 12 October 2014 (UTC)


 * , your arguments seems like you are saying let's move the page because my suggestion sounds sensible. What we need to decide is what is the common name associated with the airport. The article should be located at the name that is commonly used in the press, IMO.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:15, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the Chicago area press should be used. Around here it sort of defaults to Midway, even Airport is often not used. It's on the weather maps all morning, regularly on the news, everybody around here knows it is in Chicago. I think Chicago sources are probably biased. Thank you.

 * Support as per WP:CONCISE Red Slash 04:06, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Honestly, even Chicago Midway might be nice. Red Slash 21:58, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. We can't go all the way to Midway or Chicago as the title for this article, but it's the primary meaning for Midway International Airport and that's the best of many possible titles. Andrewa (talk) 13:29, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Wildly incorrect info
Southwest flies more than 200 daily flights to many destinations from Midway. The edit to this article was intentionally incorrectly. Madmarlon71 (talk) 07:58, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
