User:Chamath237 has re-named this article from Ratmalana Airport to Colombo Airport without any explanation. I am going to revert. The main policy used to determine an article's title is WP:COMMONNAME. User:Chamath237 / User:Jpchamathdj should establish the common name here before re-naming the article.
A quick Google search for "Colombo Airport" shows that most references to "Colombo Airport" are in fact referring to Bandaranaike International Airport.-- obi2canibe talk contr 12:44, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana → Ratmalana International Airport – The name “Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana” is easily conflated with the main Bandaranaike International Airport, which serves as the primary international gateway in Colombo. Renaming the article to “Ratmalana International Airport” provides clarity, reduces potential ambiguity for readers, and aligns more closely with common naming conventions. 2001:708:0:19:0:0:0:7 ( talk) 03:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky ( talk) 07:39, 4 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. — DaxServer ( t · m · e · c) 11:17, 13 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana → Ratmalana International Airport – I propose renaming the Wikipedia page from “Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana” to “Ratmalana International Airport.” This suggestion, while made previously, merits reconsideration due to its strong alignment with key Wikipedia naming policies, specifically Common Name ( WP:COMMONNAME), Precision ( WP:PRECISION), and Disambiguation ( WP:DAB).
In light of these points, and with respect to previous discussions on the matter, I strongly advocate for reconsidering this change. It not only adheres more closely to Wikipedia’s naming conventions but also better serves the needs and expectations of its global audience. 2001:708:0:19:0:0:0:13 ( talk) 05:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)— Relisting.

As a follow-up to a page move, a protected redirect, Colombo Airport Ratmalana, Sri Lanka , needs to be retargeted and redirect category (rcat) templates added. Please modify it as follows:
#redirect [[Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana]]
#REDIRECT [[Ratmalana Airport]] {{Redirect category shell| {{R from long name}} {{R with history}} {{R printworthy}} }}
The {{ Redirect category shell}} template is used to sort redirects into one or more categories. When {{ pp-protected}} and/or {{ pp-move}} suffice, the Redirect category shell template will detect the protection level(s) and categorize the redirect automatically. (Also, the categories will be automatically removed or changed when and if protection is lifted, raised or lowered.) Thank you in advance! P.I.
