@Vice regent: Note that most are related to the Gaza Strip rather than to Gaza City. Also, not sure if these visits would qualify as "history of Jews in Gaza City." Makeandtoss (talk) 09:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Makeandtoss, You are right. I also notice that History of the Jews in the Gaza Strip redirects to Gush Katif. Maybe there should be a new article Visits to Gaza Strip during the blockade or Foreign visits to Gaza Strip (post-2005). VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 12:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree and I removed these visits. It isn't clear that they are significant enough for any article and they are certainly off-topic for this one. Zero^talk 13:58, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Makeandtoss @Zero0000, do you agree that Visits to Gaza Strip during the blockade is a notable topic? It would meet GNG . There have been some notable visits by high ranking officials that capture media attention. VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 01:42, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm dubious. It would have to be more than a list of examples. I would expect at least one good source that treats the phenomenon in depth rather than just the examples. Zero^talk 02:01, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Zero0000 that's fair. And what if it was a Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists article? VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 04:03, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

It would meet that same obstacle. Note that the notability section in that guideline requires "it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". That is, there is still a need for a reliable source about the phenomenon in general. Zero^talk 04:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion, even if it were a notable topic, I think there are other priorities we could focus on given the ongoing war.. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:40, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Makeandtoss, feel free to leave a list of priorities on my talk page and I'll see what I can do.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 00:09, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

History of the Jews in Gaza City → History of the Jews in Gaza – The scope of this article variously covers Gaza City, Gaza District, and Gaza Strip, and others. "Gaza" isn't perfect, but more accurate. Longhornsg (talk) 23:57, 21 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Support per nomination and BD2412. Use of "Gaza City" within the main title header is indeed excessively limiting. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:52, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
