== WMF agrees to comply India's law. So kindly remove name of victim immediately. ==
WMF has agreed to comply with India's law and WMF's grievance officer appointed under Indian law shall appear before the Delhi High Court early next month. In the meantime the Supreme Court's constituted National Task Force for Doctors Safety is hearing Indian NGOs objecting to to Wikipedia's publishing of Rape/Murder victims name, on 12th September 2024. It is sincerely hoped that the name of the victim is completely removed by then, including from the archived historical versions (revdelled) so that editors (including editors on this talk page objecting to the name's removal citing [[WP:NOTCENSORED]] etc.) are not summoned and prosecuted.

Oppose – I don't like this proposal. "2024 Kolkata rape and murder" sounds like it should be a list or discussion of all the rape and murder that has happened in Kolkata this year. I vote to leave "incident" in the title. Succubus MacAstaroth (talk) 22:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed.. The title of "2024 Kolkata rape and murder" could refer to many incidents not just this one. I oppose this move. "2024 rape and murder at RG EnneDee (talk) 04:16, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In most of the ones ending with 'case' in [:template: rape in india]] the case is prominently covered and a large part of the focus of the article itself (see: 2009 Shopian rape and murder case or 2014 Birbhum gang rape case. There are many, many ones where there is no 'case' or 'incident' in the title. Most of the ones that reached national/international notoriety and the level of outrage we're seeing now (i.e., 2012 Delhi or 2020 Hathras, don't mention 'case' or 'incident' in the title. Schwinnspeed (talk) 21:59, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per precedent in Template:Rape in India or other similar pages. The word "incident" adds nothing to the description or searchability, and WP:CONCISE suggests we should drop it. I'd have moved it back already, given the undiscussed move first (per WP:BRD) but it might be worse for current discussion.
Also, there may be WP:ENGVAR issues in play since "Rape and murder" is a perfectly acceptable noun, but I think it's percieved by some commenters as an adjective. If this fails, I prefer moving to 2024 Kolkata rape and murder case instead, it's the other keyword similar articles share. Soni (talk) 11:44, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would be a bad precedent to put Murder of Moumita Debnath or Killing of Moumita Debnath as the title. Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED so I agree on not removing the name from the article. But nearly no Indian sources will identify her by name, so it cannot be the primary landing page simply because people will not use it. Legal concerns aside, the utility of the article is strictly worsened by having her name be part of the title and I would strongly oppose any title with her name in it.
The coverage of this incident is probably differing significantly based on Indian and Western sources, and I'd suggest deferring to former when it comes to title at keast. I suspect most editors supporting this move are viewing it from a latter lens Soni (talk) 23:49, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Wouldn't it be better to name the article Rape and Murder of Moumita Debnath? When searching for the article, would this not be the most recognisable name? EmilySarah99 (talk) 14:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think "2024 Kolkata RG College Rape and Murder" would be even better. But I vote to strike "incident" out. I don't think most media outlets are using the victim's name at the moment too prominently to avoid revictimizing her family at the moment. Cononsense (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per all above. The undiscussed move was totally unnecessary. The addition of 'incident' is superfluous and is not in accordance with the main template. As Soni suggested, other crimes can be covered under a different title. Till another similar incident (God forbid) occurs in Kolkata which garners enough SIGCOV and warrants another article title, we can change the title then.The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:47, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The other precedent on this other than template above is listed at Category:Violence against women in India template (Neither template is exhaustive but both are large, depressingly so). The term "murder case" or "rape case" appears semi consistently in the articles, but not enough to establish a clear precedent. So I am also okay with us trying to establish a consensus for "case" and switching everything to it. Soni (talk) 09:08, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Soni, Looking through the articles listed under the Category, seems like there is some previous precedent to say 'murder of xx', though most of articles titled in that way are not related to rape. I still support the original request (and would be ok to move add 'case' given previous precedent), but 'murder of___' seems to be building momentum below. Schwinnspeed (talk) 13:24, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to reply to this, but there is precedent for it only if the victim's name is widely used. Nirbhaya and Murder of Jyoti Singh are not the primary titles, 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder is. And that's arguably the most famous case in recent Indian history.
If a vast majority of sources were actively identifying this case by her name, I'd say there's precedent to add "Murder of Xx". I don't believe they are, and so it's comparing two completely different scenarios. There is very few precedents where the media at large (legal reasons or otherwise) chooses not to primarily use a specific name, and we overrule it anyway. Soni (talk) 19:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Technically speaking @Bait30, I don't think it would be a good idea. The individual is notable to the case of rape and murder only and doesn't have separate article about herself due to one-event case (r&m). ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)06:24, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support per nom and above arguments. I'd like to also point out that her name is more trending than "Kolkata rape" or "Kolkata murder" respectively, according to the Google Trends. Therefore, adding her name to the article would make more sense. Personally, I haven't seen anyone using her pseudo name i.e. Abhaya, on my social media feed. Unlike 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder, everyone is using her real name and picture for the protests. ParallelLife (talk) 05:30, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support – the removal of "incident". Oppose "Killing/Murder of [name]" since the victim's name is mentioned in just one of the headlines of the sources used, and she is not even the main subject there. BinaryBrainBug (talk) 16:51, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't think "Incident" is a great word to use to refer to such a horrific crime. Some sources are using the word "Case" instead Rainsage (talk) 06:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, I believe Killing of Moumita Debnath to be a better alternative to either title, being both concise and specific. rariteh (talk) 22:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
minor comment a more formative title then that would be Murder of Moumita Debnath
Comment: It is too soon to call this a "Murder of ..." article, for WP:BLPCRIME reasons, because a conviction for murder is required. But WP:KILLINGS indicates Killing of Moumita Debnath is an acceptable title at this stage in the court proceedings. I would support a title that starts "Killing of ...", for now, with an understanding that a second move to "Murder of ..." would happen if any perpetrator is found guilty and convicted for murder at a later date. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 20:23, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cameron Dewe Then why does the current title have the word murder in it then?
@Daisytheduck: Good question. The original title applied the event naming convention which includes a succinct description of "when", "where" and "what" in the title. The news media have reported the "what" aspect of this event as a "rape and murder", which makes that a commonly recognizable name. While the police are investigating this crime as a murder, and have laid murder charges, they have yet to prove that a particular person was murdered, by securing a conviction. This is about different standards of proof needed for laying charges, which only need a suspicion or allegation, verses a conviction in a fair court trial which requires proof beyond reasonable doubt, which is a much higher standard. Like many British Commonwealth related jurisdictions, Indian law allows the court to convict for manslaughter, rather than murder, if intent to cause death cannot be proved, but a "culpable homicide" can be. Until the trial is finished, Wikipedia cannot say if the named victim was murdered or not, although she is dead in violent circumstances. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:29, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cameron Dewe I get your point, but most of the of the reliable sources (which wikipedia relies on for articles such as this) all call it as a murder and thus should reflect that consensus.
@Cameron Dewe the "when", "where" and "what" title formulation is only really necessary when more than a year has passed since the event in question. But i see your point maybe a comprimise is to happen perhaps a redirect is for the best ;)
Oppose purely on grammatical grounds; "2024 Kolkata rape and murder" is ambiguous, "rape and murder" functions as an adjective of 2024 Kolkata, it can imply that the article is about rape and murder in Kolkata throughout 2024. (Has there only been one murder in Kolkata in 2024? One rape?). "2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident" is unambiguous, referring to a specific event for which the article focusses. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose — It's essential to include "incident" in the title. It's not just a crime story, there's a big impact in the aftermath of the crime. STSC (talk)
Support --- As I said over on the discussion when someone tried to move the 2012 Delhi case to a page with incident in the title, it adds nothing other than an extra word. "Incident" is unneeded. Paris1127 (talk) 03:39, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support --- Primarily based on empirical evidence that has been shared by Schwinnspeed above. Although the term incident is more specific and technically correct, its absence would not adversely affect the average Wikipedia reader who comes here for some form of clarity and explanation about what happened. In times of confusion, having access to the unbiased, uncensored information written in a neutral tone is what helps the reader. Unfortunately, the evidence shows that outrage directed towards the region is what encourages better practices by the governments and bureaucrats. AradhanaChatterjee (talk) 11:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the entire structure of the title is both misleading and arbitrary. Was "Kolkata" someone who was raped and murdered? For an uninformed user, there's no way to recognize this is referncing a geographic location. And why is the focus on the location? It should be on the subject. Further, why are we including the rape element of the case, and not anything else that might have happened to the victim? I agree with other suggestions that Killing of Moumita Debnath is more suitable (can't say "murder" until a conviction, IMO). --ZimZalaBimtalk13:28, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Incident is awkward phrasing and not needed here. Having the location gives this a way to distinguish from other events (tragically, that happens way too often) that don't generate the impact that this is having. Oppose using the victims name at this point unless it becomse widely used. Ravensfire (talk) 17:16, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support :Another gang-rape-to-death in India... The word "incident" is unnecessary, and its use in the title subtly minimizes the lethal natures of the crimes. An even better 'searchable' title would be Kolkata Hospital rape and murder. When an agreement is reached that the quantity of collected semen signifies that a gang rape occurred (more culturally common than a lone rapist), then the title can be changed to Kolkata Hospital gang rape and murder. Unfortunately. Metokpema (talk) 05:23, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue this is a borderline BLP case based on using her name in the title. It's always dicey when legally speaking it's not possible to use her name without risking some clash with Indian law, but it does seem very much in the spirit of BLP violations (It has the potential to cause direct harm). It's hard to say though, there really aren't that many cases that have "Some sources prefer using the name" amidst a larger ongoing censorship.
Support a move strongly . Wikipedia must be consistent with respect to other incidents and the title isn't syntactically sound , in other words it just sounds weird. And for those who say that it will sound like multiple rapes or murders have been committed , its just plain wrong, the title itself would say "rape and murder" i.e singular Nohorizonss (talk) 12:58, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At the risk of repeating myself, I'll say that this isn't a "People are wrong" problem but an WP:ENGVAR case. Rape and Murder singular does feel icky to me based on Indian English principles I have learnt over my life. I understand it's grammatically acceptable worldwide, but that does not make people who disagree "plain wrong" Soni (talk) 23:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree and Disagree
I agree that the name should be changed. It's not an incident as someone was killed. An incident usually implies that something happened with no deaths.
I do not support a move though as what would the pretense the move be?
I believe the name should be changed to the Killing of Moumita Debnath but if we are going to make this page stay then it should list every single murder or rape that's occurred.
Not that those pages don't exist as there are pages such as the list of murders by amount, etc.
Support as proposed, but prefer move to Killing of Moumita Debnath. We often name the victim in the titles of such articles. Enough sources mention the name that there is no concern with us doing so. I recognize that Wikipedia may not match the consensus of Indian media, but also, there is no consensus in Indian media to match. It is fine for Wikipedia to use its own naming precedents. Bluerasberry (talk)15:07, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose moving to Murder of Moumita Debnath This is a recent death BLP, and I think we are applying our naming conventions and Western ideas of respect somewhat blindly. Western convention is to name victims, out of a sense of respect. But in India, as evinced by Indian RS, there is a convention against naming victims so as to not bring harassment on their families (unfortunately rape victims are extremely stigmatized). The requests asking us to remove the name is evidence of this too. The name of a murder victim is not inherently the best way to cover a murder. I suggest as an alternative: 2024 Kolkata doctor rape and murder so as to be more specific, but would be fine with a variety of approaches that aren't based on her name. I agree that appending "incident" is not helpful. CaptainEekEdits Ho Cap'n!⚓20:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I like that suggestion. I also oppose publicizing the victim's name. Wikipedia:Verifiability#Verifiability does not guarantee inclusion, and decent people do not publicize personally identifying information about rape victims. It's one thing if a rape victim (or their family) says they're willing to go public. It's a completely different thing when media outlets try to make money and whip up sectarian outrage by revealing personal information.
I assume that we have a policy somewhere that says rape victims aren't to be (further) outed on Wikipedia. If we don't, then perhaps we should. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:43, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The proposed title, "2024 Kolkata rape and murder" reads like a general overview, so I disagree with those who say that incident is superfluous. "2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident" reads like it was the only such incident. I'm inclined to agree with Woodensuperman (talk·contribs) above, i.e., Killing of Moumita Debnath being both precise and concise. I respect the point made by CaptainEek (talk·contribs) about not stigmatizing the victim, however, we wouldn't be discussing it if it hadn't been widely publicized already.

Edit page link for National Task Force for safety of medical professionals at the workplace
The two articles should not be merged because of the following reasons:
1. The National Task Force (NTF) for safety of medical professionals at workplace deals with all forms of violence against healthcare professionals at work. It is not only for sexual violence. The Supreme Court of India, which has instituted this taskforce, has made this very clear in its order of 20 August 2024. Check here:[1]
2. The NTF is not investigating the Kolkata rape and muder case. Although that incident triggered the creation of the NTF, the NTF is looking at a broader issue of all forms of workplace violence (WPV) against healthcare professionals all over India. Thus the two articles cannot be merged as they are different issues. Again do refer to the Supreme Court order of point (1).
3. There have been many other serious violence against medical personnel in India. Refer Aruna Ramchandra Shanbaug and Vandana Das cases as two examples. All these have led to the need for the creation of this NTF.
4. There have been several attempts to bring in legislation in India to deal with all types of workplace violence (WPV) against healthcare professionals but none have succeeded. This NTF report could lead to a comprehensive law against WPV for medical personnel in India. Again do refer to the Supreme Court order of point (1). HorizonNew (talk) 01:54, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Points 2 and 4 are unsourced. Point 3's crucial led to the need part is unsourced.
NTEMP says you need to prove that this task force will still be remembered and covered by newspapers after some time passes. There need to be sources saying it will continue to exist and achieve something, and be different from the millions of non-notable short-lived task forces that sat around and did nothing. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 03:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
Newspaper source (apart from the primary Supreme Court order) for my Points 1 and 2 that this NTF is dealing with all kinds of workplace violence (WPV) against healthcare professionals:
"According to the terms of reference, the national task force will prepare an action plan categorised under two heads: a) prevention of violence against medical professionals and providing safe working conditions; b) providing an enforceable national protocol for dignified and safe working conditions for interns, residents, senior residents, doctors, nurses, and all medical professionals."[2]
Source for Point 3:
"Women are at particular risk of sexual and non-sexual violence in these settings. Due to ingrained patriarchal attitudes and biases, relatives of patients are more likely to challenge women medical professionals. In addition to this, female medical professionals also face different forms of sexual violence at the workplace by colleagues, seniors and persons in authority. Sexual violence has had its origins even within the institution, the case of Aruna Shanbag being a case in point." From Supreme Court of India order dated 20 August 2024 (refer my earlier PDF link).
Source for Point 4:
"Several States, such as Maharashtra4 , Kerala5 , Karnataka6 , Telangana7 , West Bengal8 , Andhra Pradesh9 and Tamil Nadu10 have enacted legislation to protect healthcare service professionals from violence and damage to property. All these enactments prohibit any act of violence against medical professionals. The offence is non-bailable and punishable with three years of imprisonment. However, these enactments do not address the institutional and systemic causes that underlie the problem. An enhanced punishment without improving institutional safety standards falls short of addressing the problem effectively." From Supreme Court of India order dated 20 August 2024 (refer my earlier PDF link).
Note: The Supreme Court is the most important source since the NTF was created based on its order dated 20 August 2024.
Does the last sentence of the previous comment "There is no indication that it will exist or achieve anything, or be different from the millions of non-notable short-lived task forces that sat around and did nothing" mean that every taskforce in this world will be "non-notable" and "short-lived" and "do nothing"? I am sure there is no reliable source/proof for this conclusion. HorizonNew (talk) 04:18, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. The primary source for point 3 and 4 is still weak, but you have addressed my INHERITORG concern by using Hindustan Times.
I should have phrased my last sentence better. Basically, I think we should wait until the task force actually achieves a few results before we write an article about them. After that, we want to make sure newspapers still care about this task force in like 6 months. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 04:39, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do not merge. It is a task force created not for making suggestions and reforms at one specific hospital. It is an overall task force created for making nationwide suggestions. Its activities are not just related to the one incident. Albeit the Kolkata incident triggered the making of the task force, but the task force itself is a prominent body. Similar examples are September 11 attacks, 9/11 Commission. VSankeerthSai1609 (talk) 08:22, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indian law can prohibit naming rape victims, but Wikipedia is not under Indian jurisdiction. Moreover, sources like ABP News and News18 are under Indian jurisdiction, yet they are publicly using the name. So, why can’t Wikipedia? GrabUp - Talk03:13, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ABP News and News 18 have obtained a stay order from Bombay High Court and also Chennai High Court against complying with the intermediary provisions of the Indian IT Act and its Digital Media Rules 2021.

Came across this in some news, I'm not opposed to including quality facts here such as victim names; but perhaps having the victim name in the lead (which is often scraped by Google, etc) isn't the best way to present this? — xaosfluxTalk19:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I don't see any need to publicize the name of a rape victim without consent, especially so soon after the rape, even if she's dead (in which case, the consent should come from her family). WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
