Tell el-Ajjul, with the article "el-"[edit]

This is how almost every scholarly work spells the name: Tell el-, not Tall al-... So PLEASE, rename the article accordingly. Nobody is looking up the Treasure or anything Ajjul-related under "Tall al-...", so Wikipedia is doing a disservice to its users by sticking to this spelling. Thanks.

@Arminden: I don't see an issue with moving this to the "Tell el-" spelling, in principal, but I need a clarification: is "Tell el- (or al-) Ajjul Treasure" a proper name? If not "Treasure" should be lower-cased. None of the references in the article lead anywhere useful. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:31, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Al Ameer son: You are absolutely right. Didn't take time to verify. The 1951 British Museum Journal article [1] mentions 3 distinct hoards, Negbi titled his 1970 article "The Hoards of Goldwork form Tell el-Ajjul" ([2], [3]), so I suggest to rename the art. the "Tell el-Ajjul gold hoards" or "Tell el-Ajjul hoards". It seems that the hoards consisted (almost?) entirely from gold jewellery collected to be melted down, so "gold hoards" sounds OK to me. Arminden (talk) 19:25, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Arminden: Thanks for looking into this further. The article has been moved accordingly. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:08, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
