Talk:Pan Am Clipper Panama

Article title
Now that the article has survived the AfD, we need to address the title. , what are your thoughts on 1959 Pan Am DC-6 crash, which fits the naming convention for aircrash articles. I've done a check and it was the only DC-6 Pan Am lost that year. Mjroots (talk) 20:43, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking, but don't we usually use a flight number in the title? However, I have not been able to find one for this flight. Would it not be preferable to include some identity of the aircraft not just the model number, which actually is a 6B. How about 1959 Pan Am DC-6 Clipper Panama crash or is that too long? I'm not fixated on any particular name so long as the Aviation project is happy with it. ww2censor (talk) 23:14, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, we use flight numbers where they exist. Where they don't, we use (year) (airline) (aircraft type) (accident) to construct the title. Rarely, this is not enough, and further disambiguation is needed, such as 1926 Air Union Blériot 155 crash. No need to use the aircraft's name in the title, that goes in the infobox.

 * It's OK to move the article then, or would you like to do the honours? Mjroots (talk) 05:27, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
