Notability

Very little WP:SIGCOV on this event in high quality sources as being a "notable" battle during the Military operations during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. This battle is already covered under the section 23 July 1974 in that article, and hard to see why this article would not be redirected to that section? thanks.

With that logic dont cover any battles in 1974 because theyre mentioned in that article. ShovelandSpade (talk) 19:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have separate articles on topics that get independent standalone coverage by quality independent sources. Where they don't (i.e. there doesn't seem to be anybody covering the "Battle of Nicosia Airport", they can still appear as events in larger articles that cover the larger notable overall battle. Creating a "Battle of Nicosia Airport", when no quality independent source uses that term is original research. Aszx5000 (talk) 20:09, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Think you may need to look up what original research is mate. Anyways, one of the largest battles that took place in the whole conflict with both political and military ramifications is definitely notable and has been covered by many as the sources in the main article display so im not actually sure what youre talking about, maybe there arent many books on the specific battle but I dont think thats criteria for having its own article.
