Delete or Redirect to Lebanon War as page links already exist there. Abbottonian ( talk) 04:37, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment Abbottonian, what are your reasons? Boleyn ( talk) 08:41, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to 1982 Lebanon War because (a) that's the redirect which was in place from 2007 until the dab page was created last week, and (b) that article includes the words "First Lebanese War" whereas South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000) does not. In other words, revert the creation of this dab page, because one of the two entries does not mention the term in question so is not a valid dab page entry. I see no reason for the nominator's suggestion to redirect to Lebanon War. Pam D 11:10, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep - it's the Israeli name for Israel's 1982-2000 involvement in Lebanon. Since we have separate articles for the 1982-85 and the 1985-2000 periods, a disambiguation page is better than a redirect. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 12:16, 28 October 2016 (UTC) reply

• REdirect to one article (probably 1982), but provide that was a redirects here capnote for the other. This is a common way of dealing with two-item dab issues. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to 1982 Lebanon War per Mikrobølgeovn's analys, and then add a hatnote. Typical two dabs situation. Cavarrone 20:57, 31 October 2016 (UTC) reply
