requested move female genital cutting this may be a polarized issue but most wikipedia name request changes are female genital mutilation is by far the most commonly used term in academic legal medical and non governmental circles and thus conforms to wp commonname it has been suggested that the current name is an amicable compromise as per wp npov however this is not a proper implementation of that policy wp npov is not a trump card for wp commonname for use by those people who for one reason or another disagree with the wording of the most common name wikipedia in fact has a policy specifically for pages such as this wp povtitle which has not been followed in this case text included below lastly to keep the current name is to give undue weight wp undue to the people who disagree with the term female genital mutilation we must remember that wikipedia is about what is verifiable and sourced and not what one or more member's opinion on an issue is there is no debate in the relevant literature over whether female circumcision is in fact mutilation and wikipedia should reflect the consensus achieved in verifiable and authoritative sources wp povtitle when a significant majority of english language reliable sources all refer to the topic or subject of an article by a given name wikipedia should follow the sources and use that name as our article title subject to the other naming criteria sometimes that common name will include non neutral words that wikipedia normally avoids examples include boston massacre rape of belgium and teapot dome scandal in such cases the commonality of the name overrides our desire to avoid passing judgment see below this is acceptable because the non neutrality and judgment is that of the sources and not that of wikipedia editors true neutrality means we do not impose our opinions over that of the sources even when our opinion is that the name used by the sources is judgmental
