FTX financial crisis → Collapse of FTX – "Crisis" doesn't seem like it's the best title for what's happening. It's concise and it's descriptive, but it's not the ideal title. I'm proposing the title Collapse of FTX due to it being able to outline the entire saga of FTX, including the bankruptcy, while alternatively, as suggested by @MainlyTwelve:, Bankruptcy of FTX would be a proposal I would also be inclined to support. Either way, a more descriptive title than "crisis" works better for the article at large. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 22:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support to "Bankruptcy of FTX". I think it's a little more encyclopedic. I've added the existing article content to that page and can undo my edit removing it to restore it if we're agreed. — Mainly 23:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- It's also the term used for the events that occurred at Lehman Brothers (Bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers). — Mainly 23:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support — I didn't think too hard about the title, but "Collapse of FTX" is a good title. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 00:14, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Suggest deferring decision for a week or so — The crisis seems to be spreading. BlockFi is apparently headed for bankruptcy. Genesis (no Wikipedia article?) has "paused withdrawals". Gemini (company) is having problems because their "yield" offering was based on lending to Genesis. Famous influencers who endorsed FTX are now being sued. It's not clear how bad things will get. We may end up at "2022 cryptocurrency collapse". So I'd suggest holding off on major changes for a few days until things settle down some, per WP:NOTNEWS.

- I agree with this approach but it might require a partial merger with Cryptocurrency bubble. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 18:02, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- A move to a better title now doesn't preclude changing the scope or moving again in the future if the events make it necessary. MarioGom (talk) 21:50, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support to Bankruptcy of FTX. Much more accurate. MarioGom (talk) 21:48, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- Worried that bankruptcy may refer to only the legal proceedings around the ch.11 reorg instead of the wider effects. Perhaps FTX scandal as per the similar article Enron scandal? [osunpokeh/talk/contributions] 12:59, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
