Talk:Nabatieh Fawka attack

Refs and spellings
If you're looking for more refs, please notice that Nabatieh has various spellings: Nabatiyyah, Nabatiyyeh, Nabatiyet..., while Fawka can be written: Faoqa, Fawkah... "Nabatieh Fawka" translates to "Upper Nabatieh" so maybe it could be used as well. -- Maudslay II (talk) 14:16, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Nabatieh Fawka massacre → Nabatieh Fawka attack – Similar to Zrarieh massacre (now moved to Zrarieh raid) this is an obvious WP:POVNAME without any evidence that it is a WP:COMMONAME. An examination of the sources show that few use the "massacre" framing and most, including all of the more reliable sources, describe it as a "attack" or similar. For example of the sources presently used in the article we have: Against this is only the Lebanese government report that actually uses this article's present name, and this is obviously not an independent, reliable source on the subject. If disambiguation is required names like "1996 attack on (etc.)" are also acceptable, or even "1996 Israeli attack on (etc.)". FOARP (talk) 16:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.
