Lebanese Independence Day → Independence of Lebanon – ;Descriptive and Neutral Title The current title, "Lebanese Independence Day," focuses specifically on the annual commemoration of independence (November 22). However, the article's content goes far beyond just the holiday, covering the historical background, pre-independence struggles, the events leading to independence in 1943, and the post-independence period. A title like "Independence of Lebanon" better reflects the comprehensive scope of the article and aligns with similar articles about national independence events, such as Indian independence movement or Greek War of Independence.

Consistency with Wikipedia Naming Conventions

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions, titles should be concise, neutral, and reflective of the subject matter. "Independence of Lebanon" is more precise and avoids implying that the article is solely about the holiday, which could mislead readers.

Broader Historical Context

The article discusses the broader historical narrative of Lebanon's independence, including the pre-independence period (e.g., Fakhr-al-Din II, the 1860 civil war, the French Mandate), the pivotal events of 1943, and the post-independence National Pact. A title like "Independence of Lebanon" encapsulates this broader context, making it more appropriate for readers seeking information about the nation's path to sovereignty.

Alignment with Other Independence Articles

Many comparable articles on Wikipedia use the format "Independence of [Country]" rather than focusing on the day of celebration.

Avoiding Confusion with the Holiday

The current title might lead readers to believe the article is exclusively about the annual celebrations, military parades, and festivities associated with November 22. Renaming it to "Independence of Lebanon" clarifies that the article is about the historical and political process of achieving independence, not just the holiday itself.

Additional Notes

• The current title could still be used as a redirect to the new title to ensure no disruption for users searching for "Lebanese Independence Day."
• The lede will have to be rewritten to summarize the article. el.ziade (talkallam) 15:18, 26 March 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. ASUKITE 16:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• SPLIT just split the article. One about independence and one for the day -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 05:04, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
