Title change

The NPOV word for "Nakba" is "1948 Palestinian exodus." I propose that we change the template to Template:1948 Palestinian exodus. --GHcool (talk) 05:05, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ongoing RfC about this at the moment: see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Nakba. Could we discuss it there? If you change the title unilaterally, you'll undo the work I've put into adding it to pages. As for NPOV, there is nothing non-neutral about "Nakba." Would you say "Holocaust" is POV? These are just words historians use to describe discrete events. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 05:09, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does everything bad that happens to the Palestinians have to be compared to the Holocaust? --GHcool (talk) 06:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would have been much better to wait until the outcome of the RfC to create the template at all -- especially since the template was not created until after the RfC was opened. SV, I think it would be best if you remove this template from the articles where it has been inserted (more than 20 by last count), and it wouldn't be a bad idea to temporarily user-fy the template itself, and let's have some discussion over both the name and contents of the template, and the larger issue you have raised at the RfC. 6SJ7 (talk) 15:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

POV

This template is horribly POV. It should be removed from all articles until there is some consensus about what should be contained in it (if anything), and where it should go. As it stands now, it is just anti-Israel propaganda. 6SJ7 (talk) 12:04, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it POV? These are factual issues. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 12:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
