Title

@WaddlesJP13: Shouldn't the title include "disaster" instead of "stampede" in order to harmonize it with articles of similar case? Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 00:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeromi Mikhael: That may have to be decided between you and page creator SunDawn (and possibly other people, but it may be easier to make the page move now rather than later). I'm not really too familiar with this event and only merged the two articles since both appeared in the Page Curation backlog whilst I was page reviewing. Waddles 🗩 🖉 00:58, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeromi Mikhael: After looking at Template:Human crushes, it looks like many other similar articles use "stampede" rather than "disaster". Waddles 🗩 🖉 01:03, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2022 Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster → 2022 Kanjuruhan Stadium stampede – Apologies if its too early for this, but many similar articles have been titled with "stampede" as opposed to "disaster". This would also be a more accurate title, specifying the nature of the disaster as a stampede. See 1 and 2 for a few examples. Precise and recognizable in accordance with WP:CRITERIA. — That Coptic Guy (talk) 04:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Reading a bit more into this event it seems like stampede worked just fine. Disaster is ambiguous. Waddles 🗩 🖉 05:07, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Yogwi21 (talk) 05:20, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose. This is a potential mass murder, which most people in the world are not yet even aware of, there is no need to be hurrying to come to conclusions about its nature. Disaster is neutral and accurate and doesn't employ dehumanizing animalistic language. See Hillsborough disaster. Absolutely not. No. Vile, especially considering that Wikipedia WILL be used as sources in news articles (more often than the other way round) Sumbuddi (talk) 05:22, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Strongly oppose. These other major football-related incidents, which are among the five worst football-related incidents alongside Kanjuruhan, can be used as examples: Estadio Nacional disaster, Accra Sports Stadium disaster, Hillsborough disaster, 1988 Dasharath Stadium disaster. All of those included stampedes in some way. The first two (Estadio Nacional, Accra) even had losing team supporters invading the field and police employing tear gases as important elements of the incidents, with the almost-exact fashion to that of Kanjuruhan. If we use "stampede" instead of "disaster", I'm afraid that we're not following the consistency between similar articles in Wikipedia. Dhio (talk?) 05:29, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Indonesian media overwhelmingly describe to this as "tragedy". "Tear gas" is the most discussed keyword rather than "stampede", because some also die by asphyxiation. I personally don't know in English whether disaster or tragedy the correct word for this event. Hddty (talk) 05:39, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign-based and english-speaking media looks different. Most of them use "stampede", like BBC, The Japan Times, etc. 125.167.57.167 (talk) 05:56, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, disaster is the consensus term, as can be seen at Category:Stadium disasters. Abductive (reasoning) 06:02, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose, per Sumbuddi and Hddty Nyanardsan (talk) 06:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Looking into it, stampede would fit this incident and would be more in line with how the other Wikipedia Articles are named. For examples Al Jazeera, BBC, The Guardian, Reuters, and Laotian Times, among many others, all refer to as a "stampede" and this should be its proper name.

Smuckers ^{It has to be good} 06:06, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources using “stampede” is a compelling argument, but I’d note that other Wikipedia articles about similar crowd crushes at soccer games tend to use “disaster”. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 06:15, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I refered you to reply by Hddty above. Also, the nature of this tragedy is still being discussed, was it a riot, stampede, or anything else. Nyanardsan (talk) 06:18, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We should probably follow what reliable sources are saying, but it seems like the most accurate way to describe this is to call it a crowd crush. I’d note that other Wikipedia articles about similar crowd crushes at soccer games tend to call them disasters, so calling it a disaster fits better with WP:TITLECON. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 06:07, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Oppose at least as for now while waiting the official result of the cause, was it really due to overcapacity, hooligans or the mistakes committed by the polices by firing tear gas to the audience seats, thus 'Disaster' is the most neutral and inclusive terms for all of the possible causes - at this moment. Chongkian (talk) 07:46, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Aljazeera event also included injuries/death by teargas and vehicle burning. Disaster seems to be accurate. Squeezdakat (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA Regulation Misunderstanding

The scope of the regulation (from page 12):

3. If an association or confederation arranges an event that will be administrated and governed by its own competition regulations, the respective association’s or confederation’s own safety and security regulations shall apply and these regulations may only serve as guidelines.

In short, FIFA does not mandate the regulation to be followed at national competition. This is only mandatory for FIFA events. 2001:448A:50E2:F771:EDE7:CC63:3516:FCE1 (talk) 08:16, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a lawyer but the regulation itself is widely mentioned by the national media about the event, so even if that supposed to mean that way, we should keep it in the article. Nyanardsan (talk) 08:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't intend to have it removed, only to add additional information so it is not misunderstood by general public anymore.

Aftermath and Reaction

Should we create reaction section? Aftermath will show how the condition of people and venue, meanwhile the reaction section will cover reaction of federation, police, and world. BurningHill (talk) 08:38, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
