Are there any sources allowed on Wikipedia to cite the anti-Christian sentiment in the Houthi movement? Firekong1 (talk) 15:15, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Addition of the name of the Houthi government in Yemen
Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion
The Houthis have established their own government in Yemen, named the Supreme Political Council. Because of that, it should be mentioned as the name of the government in the page, in the same way that the country named the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" is referred to by the governing body's name: the Taliban.

Change article name from "Houthi movement" to "Ansarallah"
Latest comment: 1 month ago4 comments2 people in discussion
Ansarallah is the proper way to refer to the organization. "Houthi" is a pejorative term and isn't even accurate since the vast majority of Ansarallah's members/followers are not in fact from the Houthi tribe. Kurdish Elf (talk) 22:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Refer to WP:COMMONNAME, it (Wikipedia) generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources). In this case, "Houthi" is the most commonly used name to refer the organization. Note that, "Ansar Allah" is also mentioned in the lead section. Ckfasdf (talk) 05:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
It's not about it being the more common term. It's about it literally being an incorrect and pejorative term that the group the article is about doesn't even use. Not only that, but it's not even accurate since the majority of Ansarallah's followers are not actually "Houthis" (from the Houthi tribe).
It would be like naming the US article "America" or the Iran article "Persia". They're just incorrect terms. Kurdish Elf (talk) 21:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Also, the Islamic State article is titled "Islamic State" despite "ISIS" being the much more common designation (while also being incorrect, just like "Houthi", so your point doesn't stand. Kurdish Elf (talk) 18:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Some will say that it is the more common term, but the Islamic State article had the same issue. The Islamic State article is titled "Islamic State" despite "ISIS" being the much more common designation (while also being incorrect, just like "Houthi"). Let's keep a certain level of consistency and factuality across articles covering West Asian geopolitics. Kurdish Elf (talk) 18:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Not done: See WP:RSPM and get consensus on the move. RudolfRed (talk) 18:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Crazy how pushing political agendas seems to take precedence over academic honesty and unbiased reporting.
I'll say it again, "Houthi" is a pejorative name. It's akin to naming the US article "Murica". Kurdish Elf (talk) 03:02, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Addition of Anti-Semitism/Anti-Jewish Sentiment in the Ideology List
Latest comment: 5 days ago4 comments4 people in discussion
The slogan of the Houthi Movement has the phrase "A curse upon the jews", and the organization expresses anti-jewish sentiment. I had found another source from the UAE Embassy, but I believe this could be biased. I believe Anti-Semitism should be added to the Ideology list for this reason, though I understand if stronger sources are needed. 208.89.33.107 (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Agreed to this. It's not an extraordinary claim that they are anti-semitic, given their flag's inflammatory "A curse upon the Jews" statement. Since it is not an extraordinary claim, it shouldn't require extraordinary sourcing. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 12:03, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
