Talk:Manshiya Zabda

Why "Manshiya Zabda" not "Manshiyet al-Zabda"?
The name in Arabic is منشية الزبدة, and in Hebrew it's also written as "Manshiyet Zabda" on nearby road signs, etc. Shouldn't the name of the article match the native name? —Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ &#124; contrib) 11:20, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Manshiya Zabda does seem to be the English common name (compare 119 Google Books hits for "Manshiya Zabda" versus eight for "Manshiyet Zabda" and zero for "Manshiyet al-Zabda"). Number   5  7  17:50, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
