This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:58, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also the rationale is wrong, we should never have simply WP:CONCISE, conciseness is only 1 of 5 WP:CRITERIA for titles. Too many WP:RMs seem to start with the idea that truncating titles to unrecognizable shorthand helps readers. It doesn't, that's why redirects exist.

@Andrewa: unfortunately there was an even worse one in 2015: http://www.ibtimes.com/india-exam-scandal-hundreds-bihar-students-expelled-amid-unusual-cheating-practices-1853664 I'm not sure why we don't have an article, as that was more notable.

Wow... worse than the top chemistry student not knowing the relationship between H2O and water, and the top political science student thinking that the subject was about cooking? But point taken, despite not having the other article yet (I've always thought that was a rather strange rule) I support natural disambiguation using the year.

Alternate proposal 2016 Bihar school examination scandal 2016

[edit]

I think it's time to put an explicit alternate proposal. Andrewa (talk) 22:27, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]

Having looked at Category:Political scandals in the Philippines (that's just the one a desperation Google eventually led to) and Category:Summer Olympics by year, User:Feminist appears to be correct. Category:Political scandals in India does not really confirm, not enough articles to say either way, so it might be worth looking at other subcategories of Category:Political scandals by country.

But I think that's enough to make a call, and as only I and she have explicitly !voted on this alternate proposal I'm changing it to her suggestion.

As I think this is consistent with several other !votes above, hopefully that is now consensus enough to move - but that's not my call of course. Andrewa (talk) 03:04, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
