Leyte Gulf does not appear without battle in common usage. the only source in this article is about the battle. i suggest this editor
[1] self revert per WP:COMMONNAME.

what specifically is notable about the gulf? Geographical features must be notable on their own merits. They cannot inherit the notability of organizations, people, or events. see

A
gazetteer is what WP is, a geographical dictionary per
WP:GAZ and
WP:NGEO. In fact, i will be citing the Merriam Webster's geo dictionary. Please feel free to create articles on any natural feature on the planet, they are all inherently notable.--

wp:gaz is an essay, not policy, so the relevant policy appears to be
wp:NGEO, specifically the part in italics above. since the policy trumps the essay, and [wp:commonname]] is not disputed, i suggest you revert, or provide a source, preferably plural sources supporting your claim of notability.

The same way it is impossible to discuss
Pearl Harbor without any mention of the
Attack on Pearl Harbor that started the Pacific War as seen on the same geo dictionary page 911. But of course, we do know now that natural geographical features are notable by default with WP acting as a gazetteer. So it is only a matter of primarytopic for the geo titles. Obviously, the natural harbor is the primarytopic there, that's just common sense.--

Pearl Harbor is mentioned in RS before the battle/War, not true of Leyte Gulf. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC suggest some tools in determination
