On 25 July 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to First Battle of Changsha. The result of the discussion was not moved.

The article mentions (done)

that the Japanese using poison gas was prohibited by the Geneva Protocols. The Japanese didn't sign onto the Geneva Conventions, so they did whatever they wanted to do.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.210.17.33 (talk • contribs)

– I am currently trying to rename four of the pages for battles called Battle of Changsha. These four articles are: Battle of Changsha (1939), Battle of Changsha (1941), Battle of Changsha (1941-1942) and Battle of Changsha (1944).

This is because these four all occurred in the Second Sino-Japanese War, so it follows naming conventions for battles like Second Battle of Alamein. Also, as there are six articles called Battle of Changsha, so the current names of these four articles are not very helpful for finding the specific battle.

However, because there is already a redirect page, I can't rename this article. Enoryt nwased lamaj (talk) 07:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. The Night Watch (talk) 08:30, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and Restore boldly moved other articles to their previous title. There is no such thing as a "naming convention". We follow COMMONNAME and I'm not seeing any sources offered that calls them by such titles. None of these articles introduced themselves by this title and no sources are providing, so these terms appear to be terms made-up for Wikipedia. We shouldn't do that - when Wikipedia needs to invent a disambiguator, it's in parentheses, and it's best to use something objective like the year. Status quo was fine. And strongly disagree on how easy it is for a reader for "finding the specific battle" - the year is by far the most valuable bit of information here.
