Talk:Nafusa Mountains

Name

Where does this curious name "western mountain" come from? Up to now, I think that the Jebel Nafusah was only known as "the mountain of the Nafousah", and I feel that the article's name too should be kept this way, since is the most known and used one. I don't rename the article because I don't know the procedure and the English conventions: anyway, in the Italian wiki the rule is to keep the most used name, even if the official one is different (of course, we put a redirect). It would be interesting knowing when and by whom was such a name officially adopted. I feel that the substitution was made with the sole purpose of canceling the name of a Berber tribe and hidding the very existence of Berbers in that region. --Vermondo (talk) 20:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Vermondo, the English reference for these mountains is Nafusa Mountains, even though the Libyans may have renamed them in Arabic. So I am being bold and moving the article. --Bejnar (talk) 06:31, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Nafusa people vs. Nafusa mountains

I added the section on the 9th C. Ibadite Imamate of Nafusa. Upon reflection, I am wondering if it is appropriate here in a geographical article, and whether a separate article should be created about the Nafusa people (& their history, culture, etc.), and leave the Nafusa mountains as a purely geographical article. It seems to me that keeping both in the same place might discourage expansion and details about the people. Walrasiad (talk) 01:59, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

yes there is Nefusa people in middle age , Ibn Khaldoun--Calise (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
