Renaming

@Za-ari-masen should this article be renamed "Anti-Bangladeshi disinformation in India"? Cause the current title makes Indian government responsible for this, but which is actually carried out by the Indian media and politicians. Ahammed Saad (talk) 15:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Another name could be "Anti-Student–People's uprising disinformation in India. Since it is more associated with the Student–People's uprising than any other form of disinformation related to Bangladesh and/or India. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Anti-Bangladeshi disinformation in India" sounds good. I think the disinformation will include more themes affecting Bangladesh/India and wouldn't be limited to the Student–People's uprising, therefore, anti-Bangladeshi sounds more appropriate. Za-ari-masen (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Za-ari-masen The current title, "Anti-Bangladeshi disinformation in India," might mislead readers into thinking that the Indian government is directly responsible for the disinformation, clearly which is not.

Suggested title: Anti-Bangladeshi disinformation by Indian media or Media-driven anti-Bangladeshi disinformation in India.

The inclusion of the word "media" is essential to clarify the distinction and make the title more understandable for readers. Arijit Kisku (talk) 01:56, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Arijit Kisku The title "Anti-Bangladeshi disinformation in India" in no way suggests that the Indian government is engaging in anti-Bangladeshi disinformation. If "Media" is added to "India" in the title, the article would then have to focus solely on the Indian media. However, anti-Bangladeshi disinformation in India is carried out through various means beyond the media, which also need to be addressed here. Therefore, the current title is logical.

Agree with Nahian. Za-ari-masen (talk) 11:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cancellation of the CSD tag from an incorrect redirect

@Tamzin: Sorry to say, canceling the CSD tag from the redirect page "Indian disinformation propaganda against Bangladesh" was not the right decision. This is undoubtedly a misnomer. It is true, and has been confirmed through fact-checking, that India is conducting various anti-Bangladesh disinformation. Therefore, I did not see the need to retain a redirect from such an illogical name. If you wish, you can review the article, or I can provide references to support my claim. Nahian • Talk 07:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nahian: That sounds like it would be an argument for the redirect, not against? Either way, CSD R3 is not for substantive disputes. It is for very obvious things like if the redirect said "AmtiBangladeshi dis information in india". You're welcome to make an argument for deletion at WP:RFD. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 13:38, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation, @Tamzin. I was trying to explain that the redirected title is incorrect, which is why I referred to it as a misnomer (By misnomer, I understood it to mean a wrong name or an improper name. The Bengali meaning of misnomer actually conveys this). Nahian • Talk 13:52, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The English word means that too, but in the context of R3 the important word is "implausible". It has to be very obvious to the deleting admin that readers are not going to use X to refer to Y; otherwise it's something that needs to go to RfD. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 14:12, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin I am now slightly confused about my claim. I am not sure if I misunderstood at the time or if there was indeed a mistake in the redirected title. Anyway, thank you for your assistance. Nahian • Talk 21:39, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
