Is this not English Wikipedia? I see no need for the Hebrew and Arabic names to be used, imho it makes the template look ugly. This also seems not to be the standard practice. Chesdovi 16:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

But regardless of the "facts on the ground" established by Israel, it is still treated by eminently reliable sources as a part of the West Bank. In any case, if your objection is that it is "a place, not a city" the logical answer would be to put Jerusalem in the template, perhaps with a note such as "(partial)." < eleland/ talk edits> 20:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I have restored the original version of this template after it had been split into separate ones for the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip is still officially part of the PNA and the fact Hamas is the real power there doesn't mean it's no longer so. Gaza hasn't seceded and the template will not be split because of political rifts between Hamas and Fatah. A possible suggestion is to have an asterisk next the Gaza Strip row saying the territory is currently under a Hamas-run administration or something along those lines. -- Al Ameer son ( talk) 04:33, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Regarding this revert, why exclude Israeli-administered cities, when we can separate them into their own sub-section away from the PNA cities like this. Emmette Hernandez Coleman ( talk) 00:03, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page not moved Armbrust The Homunculus 09:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Considering the recent upgrade of the Palestinian National Authority to become a non-member observer state on Nov. 29, 2012 (officially the State of Palestine); the official UN designation change of "Palestine / PLO" to "State of Palestine" (Dec. 20, 2012) and this week's decree by Palestinian President Abbas to change all Palestinian institutions to become "State of Palestine" institutions ("President Abbas signed a presidential decree changing the name of the Palestinian Authority to the “State of Palestine,” following the Palestinians’ upgraded status at the United Nations as a non-member observer state." [1]), with the change already taking place (see Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics [2]) i propose to change the template name from "template:Cities in the Palestinian National Authority areas" to "template:Cities in the State of Palestine". Please vote support or oppose. Greyshark09 ( talk) 19:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Template:Cities in the Palestinian National Authority areas → Template:Cities in the State of Palestine – Due to the recently announced transition from Palestinian Authority to the State of Palestine by Palestinian President Abbas Greyshark09 ( talk) 17:35, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
According to what criteria (or following what authority) was the list made? Cheers. — Arpose ( talk) 09:51, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
The title here is called "Cities in Palestinian Authority areas", which is an awkard title. The government was called "the Palestinian (National) Authority" and the territory "the Palestinian territories". I have brought up a similiar issue at Talk:List of cities administered by the State of Palestine#Division between West Bank and Gaza. There is a consensus in the world that the area is called the Palestinian territories or State of Palestine.
As can be seen in some sections above, a move was rejected in early January 2013. Since then, many pages have been moved to include "State of Palestine". Even "Palestinian territories" is fine and much better than the current one. Anyway, I don't think there should be disparity between the template name and the article name and now there is a bigger one than before. That is because it was changed to " List of cities administered by the State of Palestine" from "List of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority" two months ago. -- IRISZOOM ( talk) 04:14, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
