[edit] People's Militia vs. Narodnoe Opolcheniye

I have a problem with using the term “People’s militia” as the title for or a redirect to this article because the term is a general one. The term would be more suitable to an article about such militias, not a particular one. Russia is not the only country that has or has had “people’s militia” – for example, China, Libya, Indonesia, Nigeria, and so on – so “People’s militia” should not redirect to the article in question.

An unaddressed issue is whether this article should focus just on the “Narodnoe Opolcheniye” or also include similar Russian militias that were called by other terms than “Opolcheniye”; if not, then “Narodnoe Opolcheniye” would seem the best title for this article, otherwise “Russian People’s Militias” might be a better choice.
