Arabian Gulf

edit]

We tend to move away from, not toward, controversy at Wikipedia. Given that Arabian Gulf is a politically motivated name used by a minority of geographers, and the internationally recognized name is Persian Gulf, I think it's better to leave this as it is. I also note that Google Maps, which you cite as your authority for Arabian Gulf, displays the name as "Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf)". You may find it helpful to read the policy Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and the essay Wikipedia:Tendentious editing, to help guide your future work on Wikipedia.

I also want to share with you a previous discussion on this topic, at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 132#RfC: Persian Gulf and Arabian Gulf. Ibadibam (talk) 21:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[]
