Dicdef, stating the obvious. I found no sources except for articles that just used the words "burger wars". One source is NNDB which is not reliable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ( Otters want attention) 19:02, 14 January 2011 (UTC) reply
Jerem43, what you've fallen foul of is the unfortunate and widespread tendency to use slang names as article titles. "Burger Wars" is not the formal name of the subject, and is more slang used in newspaper and magazine headlines. It is a name, but it's not how serious treatments of the subject properly address the subject. This stuff is part of the economic history of fast food restaurants in the U.S., and there are sources discussing how they have competed with one another over the years. In such cases, it's best to point the slang name to a more formally titled article and work under the formal title.
