Lebanon under Syrian protection[edit]

The title of the article itself is NPOV: a lot of lebanese think that Syria didn't enter to protect lebanon, that why there was a Cedar Revolution. There's an other article talking about the same thing: Syrian occupation of Lebanon. (If you want I suggest another article name: Syrian presence in Lebanon). 500LL 09:39, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Controversial title. Moving all relevant content from this article and Syrian occupation of Lebanon to Syrian presence in Lebanon, as the nominator suggests, might be worth considering, too. Phils 10:14, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge and rename - this title is wildly POV--Doc (?) 12:37, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. POV fork. Jayjg (talk) 14:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; fork of Syrian occupation of Lebanon; move any content there, and do not redirect. Antandrus (talk) 14:56, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and move to Syrian occupation of Lebanon. Notable occupation. Klonimus 08:08, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — content is non-neutral and redundant with Syrian occupation of Lebanon. The relocation of the page to Syrian presence in Lebanon also seems to be a pasty, non-neutral white-wash. It was a military occupation, not a vacation tour. :) — RJH 18:37, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Under Syrian protection is a very POV title, but so is Syrian occupation of Lebanon. The move to "Syrian presence in Lebanon" was done by a Lebanese editor and there are many reasons for why this title is more neutral. The main reason is that no international organization ever called it an occupation, and that many Lebanese Shi'a (which make up 30% of the Lebanese population) are actually very much Pro-Syrian and never termed it an occupation either.

First, the dispute over "occupation" and "presence" should be in the talk page of the article. Second, I moved the "Syrian occupation..." to "Syrian presence...", as a step before this issue will be solved and to prevent POV. Personnaly I would prefer the title "Syrian occupation of Lebanon".500LL 20:34, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
How about the title "Syrian military presence in Lebanon"?Yuber(talk) 01:15, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
All talk about the title of the article, Occupation or presence is moved and should be continued in Talk:Syrian presence in Lebanon. This page is only to discuss the deletion of Lebanon under Syrian protection. 500LL 13:01, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
