Demonizing article with ethnic slur title
Change the derogatory (ethnic slur) title. This article has a lot of issues, beginning with the title itself. The term Neftenya (or locally called Neftegna) is considered a demonizing narrative and | hate speech against the Amhara, and is used by rival ethnic political groups in Ethiopia. Testimonies of massacre survivors disclosed the use of | Neftenya by various kill actors before mass murdering Amhara. This article requires rewriting contents with neutral tone, WP:NPOV. Its very existence is questionable by itself. Petra0922 (talk) 20:45, 29 November 2022 (UTC)


 * What alternate name is the group referred to as that could be substituted, then? If the problem is that the name has become a slur, then to change the article, we'd need to identify an alternative term. —C.Fred (talk) 21:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @C.Fred, good point. The article has elements of history although the lead section seems to be crafted in a way to define certain ethnic groups as imperialist, expansionist, colonizers, and the like- which caused severe ethnic violence in the country. To your point though, assuming some contents could be rewritten or improved in a neutral fashion, my proposed titles would be, and along this line:
 * Ethnic controversies and dynamics in Ethiopia
 * Past ruling conflicts in Ethiopia
 * Arms possession, patriotism & ethnic grievances in Ethiopia
