Untitled

The subject of "Female Suicide Bombers" is a notable topic by Wikipedia's definition. Many reputable academic journals and books discuss the term and support this conclusion (Amal Amireh, Jessica Davis, Margaret Gonzalez-Perez, etc.). This page has the potential to grow and communicate relevant, educational information about the subject, and I think the topic deserves its own page.

Female Suicide Bombers → Female suicide bomber – Per WP:TITLEFORMAT. Nick Number (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course – This isn't even controversial, and should be been BOLDly moved instead. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:57, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - No reason for "bombers" to be plural when the page refers to a single individual. Also, we should use singular form to abide by WP:TITLEFORMAT. Meatsgains (talk) 00:20, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support speedy move., this isn't contentious at all... should be non capitalised and singular. requires administrator to move. EDIT: on second thought... why does this article even need to exist at all? we have a gender section in the suicide attack article already.

Mixed – I support lowercase plural for this class of individuals. Dicklyon (talk) 06:19, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there a reason to deviate from WP:TITLEFORMAT and WP:PLURAL in this case? Nick Number (talk) 15:28, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - It seems to fit well under the exceptions section there. Dicklyon (talk) 15:33, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Which one? "Articles on people groups" generally refers to ethnicities and nationalities. Articles for human occupations (for lack of a better word; it's obviously stretching the definition to call suicide bombing a job) such as sapper, soldier, and warrior are usually singular.
