Bangladesh Civil War

Created/expanded by Darkness Shines (talk). Self nominated at 23:00, 6 August 2013 (UTC).

  • Comment. Hook fact is sourced, along with all the numbers and claims contained in the article. However, I think the title has to be changed because it doesn't reflect the issue correctly. In my perception, the term "Civil War" in this context is mostly referred to Bangladesh Liberation War. To avoid confusion in this case, it appears that a better alternative would be to rename the article to Jumma Insurgency or Bangladesh Civil War (1973 - 1997), and then create a disambiguation page at Bangladesh Civil War.
Anyway, assuming good faith on the academic references, and based on the writing style I am assured there probably isn't any close paraphrasing issues (although a different editor may check for NPOV). Alex ShihTalk 05:04, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
I disagree on your comments re the title, the sources used in the article call it a civil war, and other sources also call it a civil war, two decades of civil war "Bangladesh, for example, was particularly unwilling to countenance peacekeepers in its civil war in the Chittagong Hills" Power, Interdependence, and Nonstate Actors in World Politics Princeton University Press Darkness Shines (talk) 08:12, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment. Darkness Shines, I think you may have misunderstood a few things. I didn't say it's not a civil war. But just because it is a civil war does not mean the term should be used in the title. Article titles needs to be recognizable and precise. "Bangladesh Civil War" does not appear to be the accurate English term to use after a simple google search.

Now that Kmzayeem have located the duplicate, the article should be merged accordingly. Alex ShihTalk 15:22, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Erm no. A merger is appropriate, from the old article which is terribly source to the one I created. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:11, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
And a "terribly sourced" article got passed as a DYK. Anyway as Alex Shih has pointed out, Chittagong Hill Tracts Conflict is the most common name between the two, hence that title must be kept. This article should be a redirect to the original one per this. --Zayeem (talk) 18:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
So you say you are not following me? And no the most common name is civil war. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Well meaningless accusation won't get you anywhere. If you think this title is more suitable start a move discussion on the original page, no need to have a duplicate article.--Zayeem (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
