I redirected the page to here, and now the previous page of The Holocaust in Italian Libya: Revision history doesn't exist anymore. Does anyone know how to bring it back or move the article there without changing its current proper name (just like others in this template), "The Holocaust in Libya"? Thanks, - Shalom11111 (talk) 19:52, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently you redirect was disruptive (it seems you tried to copy-paste the content instead of making a physical move, which would move the history as well). Now it is fixed, but is located at The Holocaust in Italian Libya. If you wish to move it to The Holocaust in Libya, it is not possible (the back-path had been blocked by your last edits). In any case the events took place in Italian Libya and not the State of Libya, so i suggest to keep it this way.Greyshark09 (talk) 20:25, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Totally biased and wrong. The Italians did not carry out mass killings of Jews in Libya, that's false! In fact the worst oppression was carried out by German soldiers and SS officers. I've changed the article title to "The Jews of Libya during the Holocaust". I think that this both avoids giving the false impression that the Italian authorities were carrying out a genocidal policy against Jews in Libya, and wrongly implying that the State of Libya was itself carrying out such a policy.

I've just finished doing a thorough research about this well written article. Apparently, the majority of its content was translated from the Hebrew version of this article, which had existed before this one was created. So first off, even though I didn't originally create it, I'm giving credit to the Hebrew article as Wikipedia requires. Now, everything written in the Hebrew version is accurate, verifiable and well sourced, but often uses actual books in Hebrew as references. Therefore, in case anyone wonders, some of the detailed information provided in this article which isn't specifically sourced was directly taken from the Hebrew one, so no worries, nothing is made up. Any further questions are welcomed.. Shalom11111 (talk) 16:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jews of Libya during the Holocaust → The Holocaust in Libya – We currently use two formats for article titles in Category:The Holocaust by country. The first is "The Holocaust in Foo" which is used in relation to directly affected countries; the second is "Foo and the Holocaust" for countries involved only indirectly. The suggested title brings the article into line with the former and is also clearer. It should be noted that there is also scholarly usage of this formula. —Brigade Piron (talk) 22:13, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have a problem with this article’s title. The Holocaust is, as I understand it, defined as the genocide of European Jews in WWII. The Jews of Libya were not European, and I haven’t seen sources that discuss their concentration as part of the Holocaust per se. I see the article was named this way citing various similar titles, but those articles all referred to European countries. Pinging those who participated in that discussion: @Brigade Piron @Vice regent @Dimadick @Rreagan007꧁Zanahary꧂ 18:26, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree that the article title contradicts NPOV. At best there is debate about whether Libyan Jews were intended to be included in the Holocaust. (t · c) buidhe 23:49, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not super well-researched on the constitution of the Holocaust, but I'm sure some Wikipedians are. I've notified WikiProject Jewish History, but if anyone knows any editors who could help us out here, please ping them or alert them on their Talk. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 03:48, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest as a compromise that we follow the same approach as for neutral and not-so-neutral countries (e.g. Spain) and chose Libya and the Holocaust. This ensures that the word "Holocaust" is in the title, which I think is appropriate and supported by modern scholarship, without taking a definite position on whether the Holocaust took place in Libya. I was actually proposing to adopt this approach in a draft article I am writing on French North Africa for which similar concerns apply.
On the need for the word "Holocaust" in the title, I think it is worth citing Dan Stone who writes, for example, that, "historians are only now describing the fact that the Holocaust exceeded the boundaries of Europe. North Africa has been almost entirely omitted from most histories of the Holocaust, yet in the Vichy-controlled Maghreb and in areas occupied by the Germans and Italians, the persecution of the Jews forms part of the wider Holocaust story."
