Name of the Organization?[edit]

The synonyms "Circle" and "Forum" suggest that the name consists actually of two parts (be it a merger of two organizations or translations of Hebrew and Arabic terms respectively or whatever). So instead of a hyphen it should contain a dash indicating the two parts.
Also, sources write "parents' circle" either with the apostrophe or without, indicating a "circle pertaining to parents" or a "circle meant for parents". The latter should be used here, as this is what the website has:

A hyphen is used in the name because the organization uses a hyphen in their name. Sources appear to use terms like Parents Circle-Families Forum, the Parents Circle Families Forum, Parents Circle, the Families' Forum, the Bereaved Families Forum, PCFF, and so on. I'm not seeing possessive apostrophes used in place of the name in the way you describe on their website or in other sources, I'm seeing proper nouns. Wikipedia articles tend to use proper nouns when referring to organizations. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:11, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
