Requested move 3rd draft

{{subst:Requested move |? |reason= Should the article name be [[2020 Venezuelan coup attempt]] or [[2020 Venezuelan Operation Gideon]] or [[2020 failed Venezuelan incursion]] ?}}

Background and previous discussions

There have been multiple move requests over several years. Other common names were discussed on talk, but none stood out or gained consensus. Arguments brought forward in past discussions by different editors in favor of and against each option are summarized by talk consensus to:

A. 2020 Venezuelan Operation Gideon is the common name used by the majority of media outlets[1] and most scholarly[2] or book sources.[3] It is what sources use for precision[4] and it conforms to the criteria of the article title policy.[5] It defines the when-where-what as well as sources do. It is neutral in avoiding partisan labeling. The Military History guidelines advise against codenames in many circumstances, as they can favor one POV. There are other uses of Operation Gideon, including another Venezuelan.

B. 2020 Venezuelan coup attempt is used by various international newspapers of record and generally reliable sources.[6] It is a common sense name for an attempted overthrow of a government. It meets naming criteria as well as any alternatives (recognizable and natural as it is precise, concise and consistent, per naming conventions on events). It favors the POV that it was an attempted coup, some high-quality English sources avoid the word completely;[7] no scholarly sources use it,[8] and book sources are mixed.[9][10].

C. 2020 failed Venezuelan incursion is a name commonly used by many media outlets.[11] It provides an alternate between coup attempt and Operation Gideon that defines the when-where-what as well as sources do, which are "murky" on the topic. It overcomes the WP:Military history guideline advice against codenames that can favor one POV. It is favored over "attack" and "invasion" to reflect Articles 333 and 350 of the Constitution of Venezuela.[12] It is rarely used in scholarly[13] or book sources.[14]
