:2024 Varzaqan helicopter crash → {{no redirect|Varzaqan helicopter crash}} – If there was no helicopter crash around Varzaqan before, I do not see any reason why should 2024 be specific in the article title. Cmsth11126a02 (talk) 15:15, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Oppose – I'll give you a reason for having 2024 in the title: clarity. It immediately gives the reader the 'when' without sacrificing brevity. You cannot argue that 2024 Varzaqan helicopter crash is not concise, while it makes it immediately clear that the event is not some accident from the Sixties or something. Titling an article is not a contest to see who comes up with the shortest possible title that is logically unambiguous. --Deeday-UK (talk) 16:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose per Deeday-UK. There's no reason to remove 2024 from the title and it's a useful bit of information. It removes any ambiguity. Other helicopters have crashed in the region before, such as [https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/regime/iran-five-killed-in-state-security-forces-helicopter-crash/| this one] in 2008, and while other crashes don't have their own articles they are still reason enough to include the year in the article title.

:Oppose per Deeday-UK, there is no reason to remove 2024 from the title. hamster717🐉(discuss anything!🐹✈️my contribs🌌🌠) 12:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

:Oppose: says the year of the accident. Also, its redundant to remove 2024 from title. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 17:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

:Oppose: For reasons stated by the other commenters. Donner60 (talk) 00:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

::Not up for discussion, but might be more recognizable to many readers if Varzaquan were changed to Iranian Air Force or just Iranian. Donner60 (talk) 00:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

:::That's assuming there have been and will be no other Iranian Air Force helicopter crashes in 2024. - ZLEA T\C 00:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Mention of Isreali pager attack

It would be good to mention that the president had been spotted with a pager that since 9/18 turned out to be remote detonatable by Israel. Zieafbeelding (talk) 11:13, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

:Do you have any reliable sources backing up your claim? Aviationwikiflight (talk) 12:22, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

::This is one site that talks about it:

:::An exceptional claim would require exceptional sourcing/evidence. Unless there is a wider discussion regarding this topic within multiple reliable independent sources and/or very strong evidence that would support such a link, this information is irrelevant to the accident.
