The result of the move request was: Technical close of malformed request. Scope of the relevant articles and structure of the topic area needs to be sorted out, to make sure there are no content forks. I will start a new discussion below. – wbm1058 (talk) 03:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

– Make concise and consistent and align with the naming convention for the PA governments (e.g., Third Hamdallah Government). Longhornsg (talk) 00:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hamas government of June 2007 → First Haniyeh Government (Gaza)
 * Hamas government of 2012 → Second Haniyeh Government (Gaza)
 * Hamas government of October 2016 → Haniyeh-Sinwar Government
 * Note: pages with content, such as First Haniyeh Government and Second Haniyeh Government, are ineligible to be proposed titles in move requests unless they, too, are formally dispositioned. "First Haniyeh Government → ?" and "Second Haniyeh Government → ?" have been added to this request to meet that requirement.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 01:16, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Palestinian government
Palestinian government is the main article for this topic area, and Governance of the Gaza Strip, aka the Hamas government in Gaza is the main sub-article covering Gaza. The three articles requested for move are WP:summary style subtopics of these main articles.

The initial request was to move these three articles to:
 * First Haniyeh Government
 * Second Haniyeh Government
 * Haniyeh-Sinwar Government

This was malformed because other articles already exist for the first two titles.

The First Haniyeh Government or Palestinian Authority Government of March 2006 was led by Ismail Haniyeh, and was followed by the Palestinian National Unity Government of March 2007, aka the Second Haniyeh Government. These were both Palestinian National Authority (PNA) governments, which governed the Palestinian territories, i.e. both West Bank and Gaza.

The Hamas government of June 2007 and Hamas government of 2012 were the first and second Haniyeh governments of Gaza only, but the third and fourth Haniyeh governments of Gaza overall. The first two Haniyeh governments were PNA governments and the third and fourth Haniyeh governments were Hamas governments. Changing the defining term of the governments from 'Hamas' to 'Haniyeh' introduces ambiguity which I don't feel is resolved using the parenthetical "(Gaza)" because the first two (PNA) Haniyeh governments also governed Gaza.

Please do correct me if I have gotten anything wrong here. – wbm1058 (talk) 04:58, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
