Reference-needed or citation-needed or reference-request, which tag?

Question

reference-needed, citation-needed and reference-request are synonymous to each other. All of them have at least 2 questions on the main site.

Meaning of tags: Reference from Qur'an, Hadith, and other acceptable sources are needed.

Which tag would be more appropriate keeping in mind the readability, memorability, length, etc. ?

And requesting the admins to make the others synonyms.

reference-request is what other SE sites use. It sounds better.

We can't have this problem already :-(.

In this case, we have to just get rid of two of them, and keep one. I would go with citation-needed but that's just me.
