Talk:2009 Lahore police academy attack

Move

2009 Lahore police academy attacks is the standard line taken by the news channels but another line being take is 'Manawan police training centre near Lahore'. I'm thinking of moving the article to '2009 Manawan police academy attacks' to ensure utmost clarity. Another option may be '2009 Pakistan police academy attacks'. JSR 0562

Let me check Google Earth to see more. Opinions welcome. JSR 0562 07:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

The Google Earth globe rotated to Manawan, QC, Canada and no results were found for 'Manawan Pakistan'. '2009 Lahore police academy attacks' seems suitable for now since Manawan is located at the outskirts of Lahore. Training schools and shooting ranges in the subcontinent generally are located in less populated outskirts of the towns in the subcontinent. Suggestions for move still welcome.

Another search for Matawan, a possible alternative name, landed in Matawan, NJ, USA. JSR 0562 07:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Merge

Merge with 2009 Lahore police academy attacks. JSR 0562 07:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Content from here and there has been merged there. Now redirect anyone? JSR 0562 08:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok now I'm divided. The Lahore police academy attack existed earlier but was not connected to templates and other places as the 2009 Lahore police academy attacks was so due to lack of visibility (and presumed nonexistence) another article was created. The content of '2009 Lahore police academy attacks' is inferior but it has a suitable title. I leave it to Yousaf465 and others to decide which one is going to be the only article on WP. Merge/redirect in my opinion. JSR 0562 08:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Both have similar Info,so just redirect Lahore police academy attack to 2009 Lahore police academy attacks.Otherwise leave it as it and ask other editors.yousaf465'

Let it be known that redirecting is being done purely due to the title. The earlier version and most of the content was created by Yousaf above. JSR 0562 08:24, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh thanks for the citing me.I was just watching tv and using web to create this article.yousaf465'

We still have a naming issuse it, acutally called Manawan Police Training School,not police academy,on it's signboard outside it's maingate.What should we do now.?yousaf465'

I'm using that templete.yousaf465'

I'm not. But will try to. These templates make me dizzy but I will try :) JSR 0562 08:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Title

Do we really need to have the year of an event in the title ?. As far as I know were no other Lahore police academy attacks shootings in police academies in Lahore, so I'm proposing a change of the title from 2009 Lahore police academy attacks to a much more simpler and shorter title for the article (without leaving the scope for any ambiguities) to Lahore Police Academy attacks. --Roaring Siren (talk) 13:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
