Saky Airport

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The Saky airport is already quite well covered in the article about the Novofedorivka military settlement, which the Saky airport is part of. Thus there is no need for another similar article. BlackFlanker (talk) 23:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Novofedorivka where it is already covered in detail. Mztourist (talk) 03:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, the articles of Novofedorivka and Saky Airport are about two different topics. They should be distinguished from each other as the first is about a settlement and the second is a military airbase.--Aronlee90 (talk) 05:57, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep it makes no sense that the article on the settlement of Novofedorivka is being treated as the article on the military air base. Super   Ψ   Dro  08:53, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete this page, rename Novofedorivka to Saky Airport and make a new page for Novofedorivka as BilletsMauves suggests. Super   Ψ   Dro  09:54, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete and rename Novofedorivka to Saky Airport. The village itself is notable per WP:GEOLAND, but currently its article almost only deals with the air base, in a much more extensive way than the dedicated article.  Billets Mauves €500 09:17, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I would support that. Then create a new page actually covering Novofedorivka. Super   Ψ   Dro  09:54, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree, this could be a good solution too. BlackFlanker (talk) 11:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge and rename as proposed above. There’s little in the Novofedorivka article that doesn’t pertain to the airbase. —Michael Z. 13:46, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge & keep. I found this looking for [Saki Air Base]. I wanted this page title.  Minimal chance that I would ever have successfully remembered and searched for "Novofekorivka". Wooverine (talk) 20:34, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I presume a redirect would be left behind, solving that issue. —Michael Z. 00:13, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename into Saky Air base and transfer information from Novofedorivka to the present article. It's the official name of the air base. Novofedorivka is the settlement. Sgnpkd (talk) 20:40, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, then move Novofedorivka to Saky Air Base Both Saky Air Base and Novofedorivka are notable, but as noted by others Novofedorivka is basically purely discussing the air base. So that article should be moved to the correct title, which is with "Air Base" and not "Airport" because almost all WP:RS describe it as an "air base", and any editor can re-create the Novofedorivka articlw with content that discusses it as a town, not as an airbase.

 * Keep and strongly oppose moving Novofedorivka. Redirecting an article about an urban locality to an article about a military base is just absolutely nonsensical. Most of the information from Novofedorivka must be shifted to the article about the airbase (with appropriate attribution), but the rest such as population and administrative status must be kept there, this is not appropriate material for the article about the airport.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:42, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it is obvious that once the article was moved, the population and administrative status would have been removed. By the way, such info is present only and exclusively in the three-sentence long first paragraph of the article. Literally everything else is about the air base. Super   Ψ   Dro  09:42, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This is exactly my point. Removal of relevant sourced info is, well, vandalism. Instead of moving any articles around, we just need to move the text from one article to another with appropriate attribution.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:10, 14 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep Novofedorivka is its own settlement, with a population of more than 5,000, distinct from the airport. Information on the airport should be merged into the airport article, but neither article should be deleted as they are distinct subjects. Kges1901 (talk) 12:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Aronlee90. UlyssorZebra (talk) 18:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. After looking at the version of this page on ruwiki, ru:Саки (аэродром), one can see a lot of content to include. My very best wishes (talk) 02:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep There is clearly sufficient information on the two distinct things—the settlement with a population of some 5,000 and the military airbase—to have two articles: one on the airbase and one on the settlement/town.  So, both should be kept.  Then, some of the info on the airbase should rather clearly be placed into this article, rather than the article on the nearby small town of Novofedorivka, where a bunch of the airbase-specific information resides today.  N2e (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seems to be well covered by reliable sources and meets WP:GNG, and is distinct enough from the settlement to warrant a separate article. No comment on the name change. - Aoidh (talk) 16:09, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
