Proposal: Merge Lists of cities in the Palestinian territories with List of cities in Palestinian Authority areas

• Oppose - Both lists are overlapping of each other, but not enitrely redundant. Obviously, the Jewish cities would not appear in the 'Cities in PA areas', but on the other hand, the PA is a recognized authority governing the Pal. cities so it would not be better (IMO) to redirect the 'List ... PA areas' to 'WB and Gaza' either and remove this distinction. --Shuki 21:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Lists of cities in the Palestinian territories → Lists of cities in Palestine – Support To expand scope to the Palestine region and add List of cities in Israel. There are too few entries on this list for it to be worth having separate "Lists of cities in Palestine", and "Lists of cities in the Palestinian territories" pages.

• Weak Oppose create a new list instead. This list has a proper and useful scope. Further the edit history of this article is restricted to the Palestinian territories (when this was an article), so creating a new article with a new edit history would be better. -- 70.24.245.122 (talk) 04:11, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose I'm sympathetic to the more concise title, but as long as Palestine describes a region rather than the State of Palestine, I'm uncomfortable with the titles being out of sync. Frankly, I'd rather see the state moved to Palestine, but until that happens, this move is unwise. --BDD (talk) 16:08, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
  • The point of the move is to expand the scope to the whole region, not to make the title more concise. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
• Move to List of Palestinian cities. There is no place in the world called "Palestine". There is a country called "Israel" which has Israeli cities and Palestinian cities - and Jerusalem, which is supposed to be shared by everyone. On the other hand, it looks more reasonable to just merge into and redirect this page to List of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority - and move that one to "List of Palestinian cities". Do the words "Indian reservation" come to mind, with respect to Palestinians? Apteva (talk) 20:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Now that you mention it, List of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority can't seam to decide weather it wants to be about the West Bank (it shows a map of the west bank), or weather it wants to be about the Palestinian territories (it shows some cities from the Gaza Strip). I hadn't noticed this, I thought it was about the West Bank. I raised that issue on it's talk page. If we follow the president of Palestine and Palestinian territories, List of cites in Palestine should be about the region, and List of cites in the Palestinian territories should be about the West Bank and Gaza. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
    • According to Al Ameer son, List of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority is about the whole PT. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:40, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose If "Palestine" was referring to the State of Palestine, then I would support the move, but not in this case where the proposal is for a broader scope that would include Israeli cities or settlements. The List of cities in the Gaza Strip article should be deleted and redirected to List of cities in the Palestinian National Authority areas since the latter already includes all the info of the former. That article, in turn, could be renamed to have a more concise title, but that's a discussion that should be held at Talk:List of cities in Palestinian National Authority areas. --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:03, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
  • The scope of this page already includes West Bank settlements. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:34, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
• Comment I forgot to mention something, the precedent of Palestine and Palestinian territories would suggest that "Lists of cites in Palestine" be about the whole Palestine/Israel region, and "Lists of cites in the Palestinian territories" be about just the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 11:48, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

You will just create a mayhem, because some editors will come and say that it should be "List of cities in the Land of Israel" while others insist on "List of cities in Palestine", because Mandatory Palestine had two official names - one indeed "Palestine", but another "Land of Israel". If you want an article with NPOV you might prefer "List of cities in the Southern Levant" (but that would include East Transjordan) or an historic overview of "List of cities in Mandatory Palestine" and link it to Mandatory Palestine. I would support creating such an article.Greyshark09 (talk) 08:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose - no logic, because Palestinian territories relates to WB and GZ, while Palestine (region) is covering a much larger area (defined by the borders of previous Mandatory Palestine).Greyshark09 (talk) 08:37, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
