Old discussions[edit]

The airplane in the photo is actually a Hawker-Siddeley HS121 Trident, not a 727. I've updated the caption. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the segment referencing Operation NIKI. Judging from account, I would hardly characterize that mission as suicidal.Twiddy (talk) 17:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought we aren't allowed to take pictures of anything within the UN buffer zone area ("Green line"). --Savvas Radevic (talk) 11:24, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Afternoon folks, I'd like to propose that RAF Nicosia be merged into this article, as it is a short article which would nicely fit into the history section of this article, which could itself do with expansion. In the event the section on RAF Nicosia be expanded sufficiently, it could then be split out to form its own article. Suggestions welcome! Thanks, SalopianJames (talk) 12:03, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose RAF Nicosia should keep it's own dedicated article as the current airport is largely disused and the RAF article could be easily expanded up to at least B-class.

P.s please put this discussuion notice on the WP:MILHIST talk page to get more views. Gavbadger (talk) 13:10, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, if you're happy to expand RAF Nicosia that's great - just thought that as a stub it might as well be merged, but if you're going to expand it there's no need. SalopianJames (talk) 17:36, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, content should remain independent. Duplicated content that is not directly related to the base should be removed, or a summary left in its place and directed into this article. The base is independently notable, and thus should remain a separate article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The articles, though, cover the same airfield, but simply at differing periods of time - considering that the airport, even now, still technically belongs to the MoD I would have thought that the situation at the moment is two articles about the same topic? SalopianJames (talk) 09:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Merge - all the material on the same airport should be in the same place. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This does appear to be the saem place.Slatersteven (talk) 13:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all the material on the same airport should be in the same place unless/until it goes over 64kB of *text*. Buckshot06 (talk) 15:40, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A tricky one given that the airport remained as MoD property, but as with many other articles (like RAF Hurn for example), I think it better to separate the RAF station from the airport, especially if there's potential to expand the RAF article. As an aside, I've struck one of the duplicate merge votes above and informed Buckshot. Ranger Steve ^Talk 13:43, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
