Background edit

"On 7 October 2023, militants from Hamas, a Palestinian political and military organization and other Palestinian groups, launched its biggest assault in years across the Gaza–Israel barrier into southern Israel, as well as firing rockets into Israel"

I don't think this captures the gravity of the attack, and the mention of Hamas as a political and military organization fails to include that Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by numerous countries.

2023 Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip → Blockade of the Gaza Strip during the Israel–Hamas war – This isn't a separate blockade from the general Blockade of the Gaza Strip, nor is it limited to 2023. This article covers the blockade during the war (and particularly, its escalation); the title should reflect that. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Your very premise is false, This is a separate blockade from the “general blockade of the Gaza strip”. [1] Stephan rostie (talk) 14:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's not a separate blockade. It's an expansion of the overall blockade. Your source does not demonstrate otherwise, nor does your comment otherwise refute the move rationale. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:21, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per move rationale for the sake of consistency, and is also not exclusively Israeli FortunateSons (talk) 11:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Strong oppose this completely contradicts WP:COMMONNAME and against what RS have been reporting [1]. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

How does this contradict COMMONNAME? That source doesn't call it the "2023 Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip" or even include "2023" at all. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose on the grounds it removes the year, which it should keep in the majority of cases per our guideline WP:NCEVENTS, with only a minority of exceptions. There have been several blockades of the Gaza Strip, and as a general rule including the year in our events titles is useful to our readers. Removing the year also be WP:INCONSISTENT with the October 2023 Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. Pilaz (talk) 13:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
This wasn't just a 2023 blockade, though, so the date is inaccurate. The relevant date information is "during the war", not "in 2023 and 2024", hence the rename. Also you're claiming this would be inconsistent with... a redirect to this page? What? Elli (talk | contribs) 23:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
