Revolutionary Commando Army → Syrian Free Army – The name of the group has changed. See [1] David O. Johnson (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Frost 08:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That link does not look like a WP:RS. Per the Telegraph, this group is still being referred to by this name. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/12/18/us-prepared-syrian-rebel-group-to-help-topple-bashar-assad/ Sleath56 (talk) 01:09, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found a source (Middle East Monitor) that's listed as No consensus [2] that lists the group as "Syrian Free Army" here: [3]. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support RCA seems no longer common. Syrian Free Army doesn't seem very common either only because the rebel group in general isn't discussed that much in detail by RS. RopeTricks (talk) 01:29, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support SFA is both the official name of the group and the name it held at the time of its most relevant operations. It did very little as RCA, so the majority of sources discuss it as SFA more than RCA/MaT. 2601:154:C380:1140:3C2B:ADB2:2B84:19C1 (talk) 17:59, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
