@Segaton: None of the sources explicitly use Safia Bibi rape case to refer to this event, so I am puzzled how this title was arrived at. The criteria for titling articles means they should be Recognizably, Naturally, Precisely, Concisely and Consistently named. There is also a specific naming convention for violent crime, as well as one for legal cases, and another for events. Examining the sources, I think there is no real consensus for the existing title, with the LA Times saying that men raped Safia Bibi, while in Safia Bibi v State, the Federal Shariat Court of Pakistan finds Bibi should not have been found guilty by the lower court. A third source presents this in various ways, including using Case of Safia Bibi several time, as well as using Safia Bibi, Safia, Safia Bibi's case and, once, Safia Bibi case. I don't think that the legal title Safia Bibi v State is really suitable, because the article has a much broader scope that a court case, or even two. Since sources do not agree about a common name for this crime, applying the naming conventions for violent crime, results in the title of Rape of Safia Bibi. I think this title better reflects what this article is about. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:03, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
