Combined page?

Obviously this is a contentious issue, but I think it might be useful to have a combined page for the region known at various times and by various people as Judaea, Israel, and Palestine (As PROSE: The Last Days confirms are different names for the same place). Obviously the existing pages for any political entities, should remain separate, provided they pass T:NO RW, but to concisely cover the history of the region a shared page would be beneficial, I feel. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter, and if this were to go ahead, what name we would bestow on such a page would be (so as to remain neutral)? Danochy 11:05, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

This seems like a great idea and should be uncontroversial in light of The Last Days, as you mention. The wiki is no stranger to taking bold geopolitical stances – Talk:Chinese girl (Children of Earth: Day One), for one – but we could tidily avoid the issue here by using the historical name Judaea and leaving the others as redirects. As our Data Core is written from the perspective of After the End of Time, there's no particular reason for us to favor either of the contested 21st century titles over their 1st century equivalent, especially since it's approximately just as recognizable. – N8 (/👁️) 17:14, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
