August 1969 Il-18 crash → Aeroflot Flight 1770 – Given the flight number was already identified back in September, a move should take place. DemocracyDeprivationDisorder (talk) 08:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Feeglgeef (talk) 00:09, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article was moved away from that title by Wasianpower for this reason: "It is not clear that this flight was actually operating as Flight 1770. Only one listed source gives that name, which is from content which seems possibly user generated. Could not find any info on this flight when searching by flight number in Newspaper databases, but it does appear to exist, so moving to the name which is known definitely accurate."

If we have confirmed evidence that this flight was 1770, I'm fine moving it back. All of the articles I was able to find just referred to it as the Il-18 crash in August 1969; searching for Aeroflot Flight 1770 in Google Books, Google Scholar or newspapers.com returns nothing. RE the BAAA source referenced above: to my understanding the BAAA is basically self-published, "Bureau" seems to be a bit of a misnomer since according to their About page it's produced by one person and his friends [1]. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
