Renaming the article

[edit]

May I suggest renaming the article to "2023 Estadio Cuscatlán crowd crush" or "2023 Estadio Cuscatlán disaster"? It goes more inline with related incidents in other countries. 45.167.0.125 (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is actually the same name used in the Spanish version and I would support using it. --NoonIcarus (talk) 17:17, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The title doesn't need the year because this disaster is a major, unique event for its location. The stadium is little known in the Anglosphere, so it's not likely to be in the common name for the event in the English-language media. Crowd crush is more precise than disaster; we use disaster in many articles when it's the common name. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 20:59, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Clarifying that a translation of the Spanish title (and the version I would support) would probably be simply "Estadio Cuscatlán crowd crush". --NoonIcarus (talk) 21:06, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Our titles aren't consistent. Some include the city's name, such as Yaoundé stadium disaster; others the stadium's name, such as Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 21:50, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware. Being the capital city of the country, I think that using the stadium's name would be more descriptive, but that would be up for the community to decide. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:44, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
