The result of the move request was: Page not moved: insufficient support Ground Zero | t 01:54, 9 September 2014 (UTC)


United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict → United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza War (2008-09) – I feel not that they are doing a fact finding mission on the new conflict this could be very confusing. The name would be consistent with the main article page as well. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 13:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC) Galatz (talk) 14:12, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Oppose there are hatnotes at the top of each article to avoid confusion, the names are similar but not identical. "Conflict", not "War", is used in the official name. Peter James (talk) 16:55, 12 August 2014 (UTC) The article names are not identical - one is "Israel–Gaza", the other is "Gaza" - but has an official name been given to the 2014 commission? Peter James (talk) 17:03, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Yes I agree that we have those, however even still the Gaza War article was moved to Gaza War (2008-09) despite the others not being called Gaza War and the distinguish tab being at the top. I have not seen an official commission name no. - Galatz (talk) 20:20, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
"Commission of Inquiry" is often used to describe the new commission, and is likely to be part of its name; the UN site mentions "Gaza Commission of Inquiry" but that may still be only a description. The actual name will probably appear in documents published by the team but I don't know if any exist yet. Names of the conflict are proper nouns but are not official names in the same way as commissions so unless the names are identical (or only differ in capitalisation or punctuation) I don't think this title needs a disambiguator. The new article could probably be renamed, its current title appears to be influenced more by this one than by the sources used there. Peter James (talk) 21:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
