According to WP "Don Mueang" is now the English spelling (the thai script is the same, means "municipality" or something similar, so translation would be City Airport maybe), so the title needs to be changed.

Does Don Mueang deserve it's own article?
Here's a recent report in the Bangkok Post. Growth in passenger traffic in Jan (46.7%) was greatest of all airports in the Asia-PAcific region. Stats for 2013 comparing passenger traffic from wikipedia pages for Suvarnabhumi (pronounced soo-wan-na-phuum) are: BKK International passengers 38,143,562 Domestic passengers 8,279,790 Total passengers	46,423,352 DMK International passengers 5,989,941 Domestic passengers 15,556,627 Total passengers	21,546,568

So DMK was about half BKK and seems to be growing. Not miniscule by any means. The history on wikipedia is that at first DMK was shut down, then reopened due to need. Seems to be no indication that will become obsolete in the future but rather continue to play a major role in air traffic in Thailand and the region. The foundations for a rail link are in place as of now and a taxi driver told me expected completion date is about 3 more years. Can't verify any projected completion date, but seems to be on track (pun intended. Jtamad (talk) 02:18, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

I've decided I don't have an opinion on whether this page is needed. I went to DMK last Friday and found that the description on the BKK page is about right (a few details need to be updated, which I will do). I can complete this page for DMK, if the consensus is the page is justified. Let me know. Jtamad (talk) 12:59, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This isn't a particularly large, complex, or confusing airport (and wasn't even before the new airport opened) and if I remember correctly, it doesn't have a whole lot of amenities that aren't glaringly obvious to anyone going through. I rather doubt this one needs its own article. Texugo (talk) 13:58, 30 March 2015 (UTC)]

Merge to Bangkok?
There's very little content in this article. Should it be merged as relevant to Bangkok, with the article redirected to the relevant section of the Bangkok article? Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:11, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think this airport (that appears to be rather minor and domestic only) even deserves its own page. It does not appear to be huge in any way shape or form.... Hobbitschuster (talk) 19:32, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It deserves a redirect page. Real places are always redirected. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:51, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
