2019 Supreme Court verdict on Ayodhya dispute2019 Supreme Court of India verdict on the Ayodhya dispute – More precised and proper title for the article. Hemant DabralTalk 03:07, 13 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

No. Common names should be used as per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA if the common names are not inaccurate. See new section below.— Vaibhavafro💬 04:13, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose and agree with 廣九直通車 that it should be changed to the actual case name. I add several other Supreme Court of India decisions that follow this pattern:
    It is not surprising that all of these articles are named in a similar way because they all follow MOS:LAW § Article titles which says Articles on cases should be titled according to the legal citation convention for the jurisdiction that handled the case. Consequently, this RM should be closed WP:NOTMOVED. I believe a new move request to the actual case name would gain the approval of all of those who were in favor of the current move and probably many of those who have opposed it, as it eliminates the question of whether to use "Supreme Court" or "Supreme Court of India".
    I would suggest that "Ors" be spelled out as "Others" and that "v" have a full stop after it; this seems to be the convention in most of the SCI cases listed. We should probably also spell out "Thr Lrs" but I'm not sure what it means. YBG (talk) 06:17, 15 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
"(D)" means "deceased" and "Thr Lrs" means "through lawyers". — Hemant DabralTalk 08:32, 15 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. Concise; country can be set out in lede and "Ayodhya" can be clicked.
As for the specific case name, it depends on which of that and "Supreme Court verdict on Ayodhya dispute" can be expected to ring the right bells in most people (from what has been written in papers etc). EDIT: I see there is already a section about that: "Full case-name for article title?"

Full case-name for article title?

edit

As the creator of this article, I would like to explain why I didn't choose the full case-name for the Article title:- (I have used excessive emphasis to highlight, not to WP:SHOUT)

1)Recognizability: Recognizability is the first criteria in WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. Anyone searching for this article is obviously unlikely to type "M Siddiq (D) Thr Lrs v. Mahant Suresh Das & Ors" on Google. They are likely to type something similar to the current article title. Ayodhya dispute is easily among the most contentious in human history; WP:PRIMARYTOPIC applies here (just mentioning).

2)Comparison with Category:Supreme Court of India cases is unfair: All the articles listed in that category are single articles dedicated for whole topics. Whereas, there are nearly a half a dozen articles related to the Ayodhya dispute. Editors should understand that this article doesn't cover the entire Court case; it just covers the judgement-aspect of it.— Vaibhavafro💬 05:25, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Comment: Some users are citing MOS:LAW § Article titles to argue for full case name; that doesn’t apply here. As explained above, this article isn’t about the full case. It’s only about the judgement.— Vaibhavafro💬 06:36, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Standalone article?

edit

Why do we need a standalone article for the verdict? It's obviously a very relevant part of the Ayodhya dispute, and needs to be covered in detail there anyway; and if it's bloating that article, then the logical subtopic to create a new article on is the case, not the verdict. This probably needs a merger. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Conditionally supportbut the two articles also need to merged with Ayodhya so the article has more complex, from background, dispute, verdict, etc. I have no problem that article size more than 100 kb Hanafi455 (talk) 23:46, 19 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sunni Waqf board view

edit

The article currently states the Sunni Waqf board view under "support". However, their view is more complicated than that. When the verdict was first announced, the Waqf's lawyer stated that "The Ayodhya verdict has a lot of contradictions. We will seek a review as we are not satisfied with the verdict"[1] The board did decide on not to call for a review of the verdict[2], though this was not a unanimous decision. And the board is still not yet decided on whether it will accept or reject the plot of land the Supreme Court awarded to it.[3] All of these viewpoints should be given coverage in the article.Bless sins (talk) 22:11, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
