Talk:Palestinian (disambiguation)

Arabs and Jews
Are we saying that any descendant or resident is a "Palestinian", or only that Palestinian Arabs are Palestinians? The article should mention Palestinian Jews, since we do have an article an that group of people. --Uncle Ed (talk)

MOS:DAB non-conforming material
I have removed all material not in conformance with MOS:DAB from the page, and protected the page against its reintroduction, pending discussion. MOS:DAB is very clear and very specific about the prohibitions that are necessary to maintain conformity among our hundreds of thousands of disambiguation pages. A disambiguation page is merely an index, and should contain nothing that would not be found in a typical book index. References and external links are prohibited on disambiguation pages; these belong in the references articles. Only one blue link is permitted per line, to provide the reader with the fastest route to the article actually being sought. If any editor believes that an exception to these rules is required for this page, then the page probably should not be a disambiguation page at all, because that is what exceptions entail.

 * There seems to be a problem with the bulleting, but I can't fix it since it's protected.Timtempleton (talk) 00:40, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Proposed revision of content into different sections
Hi - I came across this article and was a bit confused by the different items, since I'm not an expert on Palestine. I read the articles to better understand them, and took the liberty of revising the items into more meaningful sections, with some additional text for clarification. What do you think?

Palestinian is typically referring to a person belonging to the Palestinian people, an Arab nationalist group defined in the Palestinian National Charter of 1968, also referred to as Palestinians (الفلسطينيون, al-Filasṭīniyyūn).

It may also refer to:


 * Religious groups
 * Palestinian Muslims, members of the major religion in the State of Palestine
 * Palestinian Christians, an ethnoreligious group native to the area of Palestine, in the Levante


 * Communities outside the State of Palestine
 * Palestinians in Jordan
 * Palestinian American
 * Palestinian diaspora
 * Palestinian refugee


 * Geographic areas
 * State of Palestine, a state in the Middle East
 * Palestinian territories
 * Palestine region
 * Mandatory Palestine, a British Mandate established from 1920 - 1948


 * Political bodies
 * All-Palestine Government, the administration in Gaza from 1948 - 1959
 * Palestinian Central Council, a policy decision arm of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)
 * Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), an organization founded in 1964 to liberate Palestine
 * Palestinian National Authority, an interim self-government body administering the Gaza strip from 1994 - 2013
 * Palestine National Council, the legislative body of the PLO
 * PLO Executive Committee, the highest executive body of the PLO

 * I would put Palestinian people higher on the list, and list all groups of people who are "Palestinian" as subtopics of that term. bd2412  T 12:59, 16 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I realized that I had the Palestinian People in there twice - in the lede and in the demographic section - so I enhanced the first reference, and revised the others. I moved up the people categories to the top, per your suggestion.  I also put in a few more of the political bodies, but since they don't all have the term Palestinian in the article titles (ex: PLO), I'm wondering if that's too much for the term Palestinian.  And, might the political organizations warrant their own disambiguation page  Palestinian Political Organizations?  I think we're getting closer though.Timtempleton (talk) 19:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see any comments - do you want to just make the change and go from there?Timtempleton (talk) 20:50, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The proposal has been open long enough for any reasonable objection to have been raised. I'd go ahead with it. bd2412  T 18:51, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Ah I see. Okay ✅. Please clarify if the "See also" section was removed intentionally? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:05, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * @MSGJ - My suggested edits didn't involve that section - it should be put back in.Timtempleton (talk) 22:39, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I put it back &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Missing entries
The absence of straightforward entries like these (and there may be others) makes it difficult to disambiguate links to this DAB page correctly, and makes it a very poor navigational tool. I suggest that someone with editing rights conduct an intitle search and expand it. Narky Blert (talk) 10:02, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
What you reverted was not a cut & paste move. It was a blank & redirect to another page. Of course I know how to move a page. The ambiguous term here is "Palestinian" not "Palestinians": the disambiguation page should be at Palestinian (disambiguation) and not at Palestinians (disambiguation) ("Palestinian" being both a noun and adjective). The current version of Palestinians (disambiguation) has a number of style errors, which I had previously corrected at this version  of Palestinian (disambiguation).

 * Kudos for starting a discussion, but "blank & redirect to another page"? Be serious.  Move it properly and then fix all the style errors you like.  Just don't paste 15 years of other editor's work into a new title under your name, that's not allowed.  Lithopsian (talk) 17:23, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Pages now moved and style errors fixed (again). The effect is exactly the same. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:59, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
