The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa (talk) 02:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Operation Black Swan → 2016 recapture of El Chapo – Per MILMOS - the operation name is not not so memorable or significant here as to override the guideline: it is far from the first op to be nicknamed "Operation Black Swan", nor will it be the last, and it is not even the first such usage to appear on Google Scholar. A descriptive title including the date, type of op and the name of the infamous individual involved is far more useful and recognisable.

Closing comment: Valid rationale and no opposition despite one relisting so I am assessing consensus to move. Andrewa (talk) 02:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Propose to delete "Arrest" section

I was unable to find sources to corroborate the specific details listed in the "Arrest" section. Further, general details of the arrest with citations are already included in the main body. I think deleting this section would remove the unverified material, make the article more concise and follow timeline better. Thoughts? Focuswaiver (talk) 03:05, 5 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
