Libyan civil war (2011) →
2011 Libyan uprising – This page should move to
2011 Libyan uprising, as a both naturally disambiguated (per
WP:NCDAB) and descriptive title (per
WP:NCE) that also finds prevalence in scholarship. While "civil war" is one descriptor for this event, the majoritarian language for this event is as a "revolution" or "uprising". As
Ngrams shows, there are more results for "revolution" and "uprising" overall than for "civil war". Of these two near synonyms, the terminology of "uprising" specifically is the most effective for disambiguating the event from the earlier revolution in the 1960s, since the terminology of "Libyan uprising" is fairly unique to this event as a specific move against a perceived dictator/
Arab Spring uprising. "2011 Libyan uprising" also appears to find slightly more prevalence in scholarship, at
314 hits in google scholar to
262 hits for "2011 Libyan revolution". If all of the different names for the event are plugged in together, you will
also see that uprising or revolution generally emerges on top. But ultimately it is a choice, as
this source notes, different sources and authors use all of the terms “revolution,” “civil war ‚” and “uprisings” to capture different dimensions of the events unfolding in Libya from February to October 2011
. But per the points put forward above, I would suggest that
2011 Libyan uprising is the best choice.

Is it necessary to add all the NATO members in the belligerents when it already says NATO? I don’t think it’s needed considering the fact that NATO is already mentioned. Lybcarian ( talk) 17:10, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Sudan literally admitted to supporting the rebels, which led to the fall of Gaddafi here. TheLibyanGuy ( talk) 15:55, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
This article currently showcases that Gaddafis regime did not have any nation backing it, which is not the case. Here are a short list of nations that expressed their support and supplied Gaddafi with arms: (Blocked sock of
