== This article should be combined with [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]] ==
 
It makes sense to combine both pages (not least as this page has a lot of work to be done on it), and I feel it is just duplicating the same information.

:At this stage, [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]] is one of the four articles summarized here, so it's really not a duplication. If and when the Libyan conflicts reach a conclusion, we can reconsider how the information is organized across the various articles. —[[User:Patrug|Patrug]] ([[User talk:Patrug|talk]]) 16:43, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

*'''Question''': I haven't been following this as much lately, so...is this widely regarded in scholarship/news/etc. as a single civil war? i.e. can it be reliably sourced, or is it [[WP:OR|OR]]/[[WP:SYNTH|SYNTH]]? I seem to remember most news sources stating that the 2011 war (overthrow of Gaddhafi) and the 2014-present war (Haftar et al.) as being entirely separate wars. Even if there's an underlying umbrella conflict, has it been described as a ''single'' civil war as opposed to multiple civil wars? We have the current titles/setup for a reason, and we'll need solid sourcing if we want to change it. [[User:Ansh666|ansh]][[User talk:Ansh666|<span style="font-size:80%">''666''</span>]] 02:32, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
:*Good question. I would support if sources were provided, and I doubt there are any describing the period covered by the "Factional violence" article as part of a wider civil war. [[User:Fitzcarmalan|Fitzcarmalan]] ([[User talk:Fitzcarmalan|talk]]) 20:33, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
*'''Support''' - Through a quick Google search, I managed to find two good sources: [https://books.google.com.eg/books?id=JRDPCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT197&lpg=PT197&dq=libya+%22civil+war+since+2011%22&source=bl&ots=dQJi9p51aB&sig=dd6HvtcWLK5YUFxTzTNa3HXpzdE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjlh_iblL_YAhXRh7QKHa9-DD8Q6AEIPjAE#v=onepage&q=libya%20%22civil%20war%20since%202011%22&f=false this] (March 2016) and [https://www.thenational.ae/world/extremist-groups-escalating-attacks-in-libya-1.250653 this] (December 2014). So maybe we're past the WP:OR concerns for now. And while seemingly not a widespread view, this RM proposal is well placed and might help deal with any potential confusion in regards to the Libyan crisis topic. Titles for subtopic articles of the current civil war will indeed become quite an annoyance and excessively long by the time we're faced with a [[WP:SIZE]] issue with [[Timeline of the Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]]. If we decided to split chronologically, we would have no other choice than creating subarticles with "Libyan Civil War (date)" in the title (and obviously we can't have [[Timeline of the 2014–present Libyan Civil War (14 May 2014–30 March 2016)]], for example). Also, per [[WP:PRECISE]], I'd suggest we move the original civil war article to [[Libyan Revolution]] (disambiguation page) and omit the "of 2011" part, which I believe to be an unnecessary precision. A hatnote linking to [[Libyan Revolution (disambiguation)]] would suffice. [[User:Fitzcarmalan|Fitzcarmalan]] ([[User talk:Fitzcarmalan|talk]]) 22:55, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

:*[[Libyan Civil War (2011)]] and [[Libyan Civil War (2011–present)]] are two different articles. The proposed timeline articles are meant to be subtopics of the latter, which was originally [[Libyan crisis (2011–present)]]. Problem is, this is more than just a move request. The OP is also proposing that we merge [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]] into [[Timeline of the Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]] (the part I'm uncomfortable with), and split the remaining "non-timeline" elements into new articles like [[Foreign involvement in the Libyan Civil War]] and [[Libyan peace process]]. {{ping|Charles Essie}} Why don't we simply move it back to "Libyan crisis"?

:::*Only a few sources describe this entire period as one single "civil war" and I did my part in finding some of them. What you need to do is convince us why it's better than "crisis" (I prefer "civil war" myself, by the way). And what else can we do to [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]]? I say we keep it as it is, for now. Reducing it to a mere "timeline" article understates its significance relative to the 2011 events.

::::*I’ve been having second thoughts as well about my proposal regarding [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]]. Merging it probably isn’t the way to go. What would you suggest for the other pages? [[User:Charles Essie|Charles Essie]] ([[User talk:Charles Essie|talk]]) 03:22, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
*I think [[Libyan Civil War (2014-present)]] shouldn’t be included in any merger. It is not the same war as the civil war of 2011, and most sources consider them separate but related conflicts. The ongoing civil war is the latest in a series of conflicts in Libya that started with the civil war of 2011. First Gaddafi was overthrown, then divisions among the victors and other factors led to internal conflict, and then that conflict resulted in a full-blown second civil war. It’s similar to the situation in Iraq, Somalia, and Afghanistan, where one conflict quickly (in some cases almost immediately) led to another. As for some of the other articles, I think that the individual pages relating to each stage of the fighting (the 2011 conflict, the factional violence, and the ongoing civil war) should remain separate, but the other articles could be merged together. [[User:Anasaitis|Anasaitis]] ([[User talk:Anasaitis|talk]]) 00:48, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
:*I agree regarding 2014-present as well. Since my question above about sourcing, there have been 2 sources that say that they're the same, but many many more, including I'd say most in the articles themselves, stating that they're different wars (though part of the same overarching conflict). [[User:Ansh666|ansh]][[User talk:Ansh666|<span style="font-size:80%">''666''</span>]] 02:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
::*You’re both right. Merging [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)]] would be a mistake. Clearly this is multi-phase civil war like [[War in Afghanistan (1978–present)|Afghanistan]], [[Iraq conflict (2003–present)|Iraq]] and [[Somali Civil War|Somalia]]. I don’t know why I didn’t see that. [[User:Charles Essie|Charles Essie]] ([[User talk:Charles Essie|talk]]) 17:11, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
:::*Yeah. If the sources were more recent (i.e. reflected a changing trend in classification or whatever), I'd be amenable to lumping them together, but as it stands it's probably not the best way to go, as with the other examples.

*'''Neutral-ish. Weakly support move #0 to Libyan Civil War. Not sure about moves #2, #3, and #8.''' I'm not educated enough on the Libyan Civil War situation to know what the general opinion of how much of one single cohesive war it is, but I do support a move from [[:Libyan Civil War (2011–present)]] → {{no redirect|Libyan Civil War}} from what I've seen. Seems like this is the primary topic of the phrase, and it's the main civil war people refer to. The version without the parenthetical disambiguator already redirects to the version with it, so getting rid of "2011-present" would be fine by me. ...However, I'm not very sure about moves #2, #3, and #8.

== Is the conflict over? ==
 
After the conclusion of a permanent peace between the factions in Libya, can we say that the conflict is over? Should we change the name to Libyan conflict (2011–2020)? I think the Wikipedia community should discuss that issue. [[User:MarcusTraianus|MarcusTraianus]] ([[User talk:MarcusTraianus|talk]]) 07:23, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 
*'''Yes''' - With the permanent ceasefire agreement in place, it is very unlikely that the conflict would persist. [[User:Idealigic|Idealigic]] ([[User talk:Idealigic|talk]]) 06:57, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
<s>*'''Yes''' [[User:GMPX1234|GMPX1234]] ([[User talk:GMPX1234|talk]]) 01:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)</s> <small>— [[User:GMPX1234|GMPX1234]] ([[User talk:GMPX1234|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GMPX1234|contribs]]) is a confirmed [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Waskerton|sock puppet]] of [[User:Waskerton|Waskerton]] ([[User talk:Waskerton|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Waskerton|contribs]]). </small>
*'''No''' - Some low level of conflict continues in spite of the news of "permanent peace" accords which illustrates a de facto continuation of hostilities among elements of some factions in spite of a de jure apparent state of peace. Also it's simply to early, a mere few weeks, and thus far too little time to see if this peace holds. There is a mere ceasefire agreement, and peace talks and meetings to discuss accords, and an agreement to hold elections in 18 months. This is the phase in most wars and conflicts that occur at the end, which means the conflict is winding down, in its terminal phase, but it's to early yet to tell if this represents a true and lasting end to this phase of civil war in Libya. [[User:KJS ml343x|KJS ml343x]] ([[User talk:KJS ml343x|talk]]) 14:21, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
*'''No''' - Some sources disagree with the idea that persistence in conflict is unlikely or that the ceasefire is permanent. A top UN official was among those who highlighted ongoing challenges. One observer noted that ISIS is still active in the country.

After the end of the Civil War, the formation of the government and the adoption of the joint budget of Libya, can we say that the war crisis is over?

*'''Wait.''' The war may be over, but it is still too early to say that the crisis is over as well. The sources are still hesitant about the situation in Libya: [https://web.archive.org/web/20210218002905/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/16/world/middleeast/libya-government-qaddafi.html NY Times] [https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/perspective/20210216-libya-10-years-on-can-the-war-torn-country-finally-turn-the-page France24] [https://archive.vn/RyFxZ The Economist] --[[User:Fontaine347|Fontaine347]] ([[User talk:Fontaine347|talk]]) 15:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 
*'''Wait''' - I also think it's too early to pop the champagne.

== Please Don't Corrupt Information About Libya HDI Ranking ==
It is confirmed by even the source that was used to claim that Libya no longer has one of the highest [[human development index]] (HDI) rankings among countries in Africa" contradicts that claims, as Libya is one of only nine countries in Africa to have a high HDI ranking and ranks sixth among countries in Africa.
