Hello. I just wanted to point out, in case you are not aware, that a "Requested Move" was recently concluded which determined a consensus that the title of the article should be "Israel-Hamas War." Thus your Requested Move is duplicative and disruptive. Would you kindly hat it? Thank you in advance. Coretheapple (talk) 15:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I am biased on this specific dispute, but the consensus on keeping『Israel–Hamas war』don't look convincingly strong enough for me to hat it. I am in support of a moratorium, though. Thanks. NasssaNsertalk09:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have already removed this article from my watchlist. I like to consider myself impartial. To many, Israel is of course committing an act of genocide, but Hamas didn't on October 7? And blatantly filmed it, knowing what Israel's response would be on their own population. This includes things too graphic to write, but includes acts committed against women and children.
Hi, I closed the move discussion, not in the direction you wanted, but hopefully my reasoning is understandable, Tom B (talk) 23:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tpbradbury: To quote another discussion I've opened regarding WP:COMMONNAME: Supporters do assert that WP:COMMONNAME does not explicitly support the current title, as it requires a clear consensus of reliable sources to support any given title. They are correct to say that no such consensus exists. I believe the interpretation departure from (WP:COMMONNAME) requires strong evidence/argument is flawed, as COMMONNAME explicitly encourages editors to consider WP:CRITERIA directly (which may result in titles uncommon in reliable sources or newly-coined WP:NDESC titles) on the lack of a clear common name as asserted in said discussion.
COMMONNAME says, WP "generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the five criteria..." You say you've opened a discussion but not where it is i couldn't see in on the article talk page or the common name talkpage? Tom B (talk) 15:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
