Name of the article
[edit]The scope of this article seems to be limited to the January 1986 events. "Geagea-Hobeika conflict" is pretty vague, given that the two factions fought once again in September 1986,[1] and Hobeika previously unseated Geagea in a similar, though bloodless, coup in May 1985 [2] (plus "conflict" doesn't always apply to violent incidents). The events dealt with here also involved Phalangist forces loyal to Gemayel. Given that there are no editors actively editing this low traffic article, I will move the title to January 1986 Lebanese Forces coup, assuming that this isn't controversial. The term "coup" is used in some books (e.g. [3][4][5][6]) and news outlets (e.g. [7][8]). Feel free to revert and discuss. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 16:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
