I propose adding "First Gaza War" as an alternative name for this conflict. Ihad added it, with supporting references, but was reverted bySlatersteven. I didn't think this would have needed consensus before being added. It's a minor addition, it's properly-referenced (and there are many other references that could be added), and the name is used more often recently to distinguish this war from the other Gaza wars. –Asarlaí(talk)10:22, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Onceinawhile, do you have any feedback on the table I just added?[2]VR(Pleaseping on reply)18:21, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:TheThomanski, this article has generated 70 talk pages during its lifetime. In those pages, you can find 18 distinct discussions about the article title, involving 100s of editors. Of those 18 discussions, 12 are formal RMs. The most recent one is here[3] which hadWP:SNOW consensus tonot rename the article to2008–2009 Gaza War. According toWP:RM, if there is any reason to suspect that a page movemight be controversial, you are supposed to use an RM. Given the extraordinary amount of debate and discussion about this article title, I have reverted the undiscussed page move. Also note the move broke a lot of sub-pages, so any move will require work post-move to cleanup. --GreenC04:09, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
