Talk:1987 Meerut riots

Hashimpura Massacre is a part of Meerut Riots
Before anyone redirects this page once again to Hashimpura massacre, let them clarify why they think that a large scale communal riot where officially 350 people died is going to be a redirect of a massacre of 42 people. That massacre is a part of Meerut 1987 riots. Check my sources before making this blunder. -- C E  (talk) 05:21, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Your logic is something like Assassination of Abraham Lincoln  can have an wikipage   but Abraham Lincoln  can't have an wikipage.--  C E  (talk) 05:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Don't redirect wthout checking the references given and without giving a valid explanation, "Why 350 deaths is going to a part of massacre of 42 people?"

The 350 deaths include Hashimpura massacre. I agree the Hashimpura massacre got more coverage recently due to the court judgement. Other cases were not investigated extensively by the Government. But please don't ignore the deaths of 308 people (350-42), which includes both communities.-- C E  (talk) 05:29, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Title
The title should, of course, be 1987 Meerut riots (lower case r for "riots"; see WP:TITLEFORMAT) rather than 1987 Meerut Riots. The former is already a redirect. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:26, 28 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I was unaware of that. I don't know what to do next. If I correct the title to 1987 Meerut riots, then  this page will vanish?

Someone should delete that redirect-- C E  (talk) 09:55, 28 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Or, thinking again, might the title perhaps reasonably be just Meerut riots, if there are no others in a different year from which to disambiguate? This too is a redirect at present. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:38, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Not possible 2014 Meerut riots -- C E  (talk) 08:57, 30 April 2015 (UTC)


 * In which case, Meerut riots should no longer be a simple redirect to the 1987 event; it ought to be a dab page, unless the 1987 event is considered to be the primary topic in which case it would need a hatnote. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:04, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

If this redirect 1987 Meerut riots is deleted, then the name of this page can be with changed according to TITLEFORMAT. C E (talk) 09:12, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

1987 Meerut communal riots → 1987 Meerut riots – The current name doesnt align with WP:CONSISTENT as many other riot pages are named as 2002 Gujarat riots, 1969 Gujarat riots, 2020 Delhi riots. The usual scheme for naming a riot page is {Year+Place+"riots"}. The word communal is not needed. >>> Extorc . talk ; 13:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Support A sensible move, the word communal is not needed in the title. Also support for consistency with similar articles. AusLondonder (talk) 14:54, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
