Mothers' bus attack → 1988 Negev bus hijacking – This page should move to a straightforward descriptive events title, per WP:NCWWW and in line the coverage at the time from the likes of the WaPo, the NYT, LA Times, JTA, etc. The current title appears to be the product of an unconvincing minority of sources and Wikipedia mirrors, and so there is no real common name basis for neglecting a readily understood, natural and recognizable descriptive title choice in this instance.

Support this name is sometimes used, but it is quite confusing and not the common name. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:30, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
