Justanother2 please stop moving this article without discussion. You need to establish consensus first when making a move, especially when someone else contests your claim. There's already been multiple discussions about moving this article on this talk page here (see above). Soni (talk) 12:34, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Neutral. The current title of the article summarizes it pretty well, but as far as I can tell, the article refers to it as "the incident" or some variation. Adding "incident" to the title seems a bit unnecessary. — BerryForPerpetuity(talk)18:50, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Feels like only yesterday I was here debating whether this page should be titled "Murder of [victim's name]" (as I preferred at the time). The current title is fine as is, adding "incident" really doesn't add anything other than an extra word and perhaps confusion. Paris1127 (talk) 01:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. There is no need to change the tile as the original one has clearly summarised the entre "incident" happened. Each word is concise and key, excepting "incident". Emiya-Morrison (talk) 01:52, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil.
Also the article includes aftermath, so, 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder is not specific. Also most of the article covers about the case and this incident leading to forming a law. So 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder case also would be specific.
Then let's get this farce of a move request over and done with. WP:SNOW is an understatement for the above closure, but if this puts this to bed and forever stops something like this, then let's do it. Ravensfire (talk) 12:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. Misinterpreting one teahouse editor's subjective opinion on things does not automatically allow editors to just ignore established procedure. This is how we waste everyone's time. I will rather just undo my close than have editors just decide to spend 7 days trying to redo an RM because they do not understand how WP:CLOSECHALLENGE works. Soni (talk) 20:07, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above discussion. There is no good reason to add incident at the end of the title, it reads awkwardly and is just not needed. This should be withdrawn and the consensus above respected. Ravensfire (talk) 12:35, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Of course there's inconsistency across a variety of articles - it's Wikipedia and once a page has been named a certain way for a while it tends to stick. I would point out that the move discussion you noted is trending towards removing "incident" from the page title. Looking at {{Rape_in_India}}, there's once time that incident is used, the rest use "case" or nothing at all. A larger discussions to get consistency may be helpful but that's something that should really be on WT:INDIA. Ravensfire (talk) 17:20, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
