Talk:Arab sword

Move to Draft
I'd suggest moving this page to the Draft namespace, and then move it back to mainspace when it is ready. Scimitar and Shamshir already exist, and there is likely to be significant overlap. The talk in the page belongs here, not in the article. Mduvekot (talk) 22:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

But there is no difference between the straight and the saber in those articles. It's utterly devoid of information. And it requires it. I have the books to give it more context. There is a clear difference. Not to mention, the scimitar comes from the turks, not the Arabs. Those articles, in fact, are badly designed. MontChevalier (talk) 23:00, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Arabic sword → Arab sword – Per WP:COMMONNAME. See specialist sword books: and. See also Google book results.

Of the few sources used in the article that are viewable online, two of three use "Arab sword", none use "Arabic sword". The previous article moves were both done without discussion. Batternut (talk) 00:25, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
