2022 Abu Dhabi attack → 2022 drone attack on Abu Dhabi airport – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. 103.95.80.173 (talk) 16:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: More than one location was targeted, and not all of them were airports or even that close to that airport. Dunutubble (talk) 23:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: It wasn't just the airport and it wasn't just drones, according to the Houthis they also used ballistic missiles.--Garmin21 (talk) 23:53, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: In addition to the reasons given above, that title would be too long. Jim Michael (talk) 09:11, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why remove the victims section?[edit]

Why did you remove the victims section? 111.92.117.232 (talk) 16:59, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The victims' nationality and numbers are already stated within the body of the text. A table also added. RPSkokie (talk) 17:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why Persian Gulf crisis?[edit]

Why is this part of Persian Gulf crisis? 111.92.117.232 (talk) 03:05, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, there is not a single mention in the sources and content linking this to the PGC most media link the attack to the Yemeni Civil War and Marib-Shabwa campaign.Mr.User200 (talk) 18:18, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Flags removed[edit]

Why from the reacts sections, the the flags of the countries removed? they should check out the International reactions of ther events as well! Utkarsh555 (talk) 06:10, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Flag template is not always unnecessary, but in this case it disrupts the article's flow. The page is simply written better without the template. A better example of how this template can be properly managed can be seen at Attempted assassination of Mustafa Al-Kadhimi. But it cannot be done here.
