Some scholars such as Mark Levene consider "Assyrian" to be a misnomer.[1] In addition, although the label of genocide is defended by some[1][2] it is by no means universally accepted by scholars[3]

The title can therefore be considered a WP:POVNAME since one should as far as possible avoid "appear as endorsing one side of an issue". I therefore consider it best to rename the article Seyfo which appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME. Pepoeko (talk) 15:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
