![]() | On 16 May 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Liberation of Khorramshahr to Battle of Khorramshahr (1982). The result of the discussion was moved. |
This article gives an impression of bias towards the Iranian side of the conflict. The use of the word "liberation" is a good indicator. In addition, there are several references to depictions, celebrations or histories from only the Iranian side or of Iranian provenance. I don't know if an Iraqi narrative of the same event would be substantially different, but it's not clear that this article was written from an objective point of view by a neutral party.

– This new title scheme would disambiguate between two battles in the same city during the Iran-Iraq war. The term "liberation" is inherently POV and should be avoided because it favors one side of the war. I can't establish that it's consistently used in reliable sources in a similar way to Boston Massacre; many sources resulting from searching "battle of Khorramshahr" on google scholar clearly refer to the 1982 battle. As noted above there are concerns about the POV of this article and use of "liberation" in the title feeds into them. The terms "capture" and "recapture" for 1980 and 1982 respectively are also neutral and used in reliable sources, but "battle" is more common.

* Support: Seems reasonable considering the POV issues and that "battle of" appears to be the common name. Regards, Cinderella157 ( talk) 01:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
* Comment Thinking a bit more on article naming guidance, probably only one of these should have the date attached - ie, that least well known. Just a thought. Regards, Cinderella157 ( talk) 00:10, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
