[edit] This article is a POV fork and should be dleted merged

I was surprized to see this article. This edit [1] alerted me to it's existense. If there ever was a POV fork this is it. Zeq (talk) 05:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

This article is not a pov-forked.
(And there is absolutely no pov in here given it just takes back summaries of others)
The reason is that the 1948 Palestine war gathers 6 months of civil war followed by the 1948 Arab-Israeli War that started on May15, 1948 (with the birth and declaration of independence of ISrael).
Here are numerous sources about this name : [2].
I add that the "name" is used by scholars from all opinions : Efraim Karsh, Yoav Gelber, David Tal, Avi Shlaim and/or Ilan PappĂ©. It was used at least in the '50s.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. Knowledged and sciences are the motors. If people doesn't know something, it doesn't prevent from discussing this.

We have 3 articles for the same war - at least one of them is POV fork and this seems to be the one. Zeq (talk) 21:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
