Talk:1971 Colorado Aviation Aero Commander 680 crash

The below thread has been copied from WikiProject Military history#Audie Murphy plane crash article should be renamed. — Maile (talk) 20:02, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Audie Murphy plane crash was just created by Samf4u. It was not Murphy's plane, and he wasn't the only passenger who died. I suggest a renaming of the article, but I don't know what. Any suggestions? — Maile (talk) 22:12, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming we really need the page (I would lean to a merge with Audie Murphy), I think "Aero Commander 680 Super crash" fits the general syntax of crash page names.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 15:36, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First off, if you read the article you'd know that the plane was owned by Colorado Aviation which was a subsidiary of Telestar. Murphy was the Director of Telestar. Second, change the name to anything you want, I don't care, but merging w/the Audie Murphy article is out of the question. At 70K the article is large. Adding another 11K would be a little much. Please see WP:AS. Samf4u (talk) 21:48, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would agree on not merging with the Audie Murphy article. It made it to FA like it is, and there was a lot of editing back and forth over that section. I'm happy to leave the Audie Murphy article alone. I don't even want to mess with editing with the plane crash article, since it seems well done. I just question the name of it. But as with all things at Wikipedia, that's really up to a consensus. — Maile (talk) 21:57, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If it is any help, and in a similar vein, I would have searched for Lynyrd Skynyrd air crash, but it turns out that crash is at 1977 Convair CV-300 crash. Perhaps something similar could be done with the title of Murphy's crash article? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 03:37, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The correct title would be "1971 Colorado Aviation Aero Commander 680 crash", per the naming convention for aircrash articles. Mjroots (talk) 17:55, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I never really cared for the title. Perhaps it should be changed. Mjroots suggestion would be correct. It's a little long and unfortunately can't be shortened because another Aero Commander 680 crashed in Dec. 1971 at New Orleans. Samf4u (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved it to what was agreed above: "1971 Colorado Aviation Aero Commander 680 crash". — Maile (talk) 20:34, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
