Singapore Changi Airport → Changi Airport – As per WP:COMMONNAME, we should be using the most common name. Changi Airport is searched 4.5x more than Singapore Changi Airport, and the website refers always to the airport as "Changi Airport", with the only exception being in the browser title tags.

Support - "Changi Airport" itself is more well-known than "Singapore Changi Airport". TheGreatSG'rean (talk) 10:43, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - "Changi Airport" is more appropriate. No airport articles have their country in their name. Itsquietuptown t • c 23:12, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Itsquietuptown: Uh, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan? Singapore is a country yes, but it's also just a city. You can't really compare that with other countries. Bouymid (talk) 21:36, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – per WP:OFFICIAL, and "Singapore Changi Airport" is what the airport is mostly known as, especially internationally. Google Trends is hardly the baseline for accuracy, it's something that should only be taken with a pinch of salt. Bouymid (talk) 21:36, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
