The killing of the wife, daughter, and infant son of Mohammed Deif → Killing of the Deif family – I feel this title is better due to WP:Precision, as it isn't necessary to state exactly what relation each of the casualties was to Mohammed Deif. TRCRF22 (talk) 19:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

somewhat oppose - I agree it should be shorter, but it needs to communicate that the father survived. We could use their names "the killing of Widad Asfoura, Sarah Deif, and Ali Deif" (the current title is from before I found Sarah's name). MWQs (talk) 23:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or if there's a "no the" policy, killing of Widad Asfoura, Sarah Deif, and Ali Deif. Sarah is sometimes referred to as "Sara Al-Masri" (her dad's birth name) and a few stories assume Widad took her husband's name Deif, but Widad Asfoura, Sarah Deif, and Ali Deif are the most recognisable names. Also "Ali Deif" is used very often in sources, whereas "Deif family" is uncommon. MWQs (talk) 02:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about Deif family killings? Killuminator (talk) 18:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Killuminator that sounds the wrong way around? That sounds like "Manson Family murders"? What's wrong with three names? Like Killing of Alon Shamriz, Yotam Haim, and Samer Talalka? MWQs (talk) 06:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"killing of the Deif family" is probably better. MWQs (talk) 06:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

as in better than Deif family killings. MWQs (talk) 06:35, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to something along the lines of Killing of Widad Asfoura, Sarah Deif, and Ali Deif or Killing of the Deif family. If what MWQs said about Deif family not being well-supported in the sources is true, prefer the former. Kinsio (talk ★ contribs ★ rights) 06:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
