McAllister Field and Yakima Air Terminal → McAllister Field – This article was originally named "Yakima Air Terminal". It was renamed (without discussion) because this article is about the whole airport, not just the passenger terminal building. I believe that "McAllister Field" would be a clearer and more appropriate name.

Comment Can you cite sources that confirm the shorter common name? The official website uses "Yakima Air Terminal – McAllister Field". 162 etc. (talk) 14:59, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the official website uses "Yakima Air Terminal", then that should be the name that is used for the article. However, the page for the airport in Redmond, Oregon is named Roberts Field but the official website uses "Redmond Municipal Airport - Roberts Field".

Requested move 19 May 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; moved back to Yakima Air Terminal. We still (frustratingly) have too little participation to reach consensus, so per WP:NOCON I'm reverting to Yakima Air Terminal, which was the previous stable title before an April 2022 undiscussed move.

McAllister Field and Yakima Air Terminal → Yakima Air Terminal – WP:COMMONNAME. Used on the airport's official website and was the previous name of this page (before it was renamed without discussion).

These recent articles from the Yakima Herald-Republic, 1 and 2 use "Yakima Air Terminal". Johnj1995 (talk) 14:54, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
