Title

@Orientls:, The original article title 2019 Indian Line of Control strike was based on 2016 Indian Line of Control strike. The changed title 2019 Indian Air Force strikes in Pakistan is not OK because the place in which strike was carried out is claimed by India as it own so in Pakistan is not neutral.-Nizil (talk) 05:33, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator note given the repeated renaming of the page, I have move-protected it for a month. Involved editors are urged to at least discuss the page title issue amongst themselves to see if easy consensus is reachable (or, use WP:RM if there are significant disagreements) before unilaterally renaming the page. Feel free to ping me or any other admin if you reach an agreement and need a change to be implemented. Abecedare (talk) 06:41, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nizil I think the current title "2019 Balakot airstrike" selected by User:Jim7049 makes more sense as the exact location of the airstrike. --DBig Xrayᗙ 07:44, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, agree. It makes more sense than the previous title.-Nizil (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But Indian media is claiming multiple places of strike. How could it be single village name given? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.240.137.10 (talk) 08:04, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

POV

It has not been established that JeM camp was attacked. India claims so but Pakistan denies. So on what basis is that included as a fact in this page? This page has to be tagged for POV as most sources used is Indian media. I can hardly find any Pakistani media reports. Libin Scaria (talk) 10:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
