Shia–Sunni relations → Sunni–Shia divide – Common name and description, attributed to multiple sources.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]^[18] I will highlight that it is not a mere debate, but a disagreement that has come with conflict and violence. We should align its naming on Wikipedia with how it is described.

Comment – The existing title is in line with that of another article about relations between two religious sects with a history of conflict: Catholic–Eastern Orthodox relations. Graham (talk) 17:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Wikipedia articles have to adopt neutral titles regardless of the "divide" between the concerning factions. Shankargb (talk) 02:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Most of the sources cited have been news-type sources, not scholarly ones. Secondly, the sources are referring mainly to the conflict. So I agree that an article that was solely on the Shia-Sunni conflict should indeed be called Shia-Sunni divide, but the scope of this article is broader than that.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 21:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
