Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area, though editors who are not extended-confirmed may post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area on article talk pages. Should disruption occur on article talk pages, administrators may take enforcement actions against disruptive editors and/or apply page protection on article talk pages. However, non-extended-confirmed editors may not make edits to internal project discussions related to the topic area, even on article talk pages. Internal project discussions include, but are not limited to, Articles for deletion nominations, WikiProjects, requests for comment, requested moves, and noticeboard discussions.
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Oppose. The general kind of aircraft involved is largely irrelevant and does not add to the descriptive title. All we need is the who and the what, and "plane crash" concisely describes the event. Per my comment in the previous RM, I would support a move to Wagner Group plane crash, as the year is not needed for disambiguation. Also, the event descriptor, regardless of wording, should not be capitalized; i.e. the proposed move should really be 2023 Wagner Group jet crash.

Oppose - After a lengthy discussion at the previous RM, the closer, just six days ago, wrote "Throughout this discussion, multiple alternatives have been suggested to the name proposed. There has been minimal support for the originally proposed move title, but better support for renaming the article to "2023 Wagner Group plane crash", or "2023 Wagner Group jet crash". Most appeared to be fine with either plane or jet, with a slight slant towards plane"(emphasis added). Unless there is a legitimate claim that that one was closed improperly then this new one is completely unnecessary and should be closed promptly. For the record, I also agree with the reasoning of Mdewman6 above. Davidships (talk) 20:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Mdewman6 and Davidships. HappyWith (talk) 20:55, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural speedy close. The option was under consideration in the most recent RM (which stayed open until last week) and did not garn much support there despite a lengthy discussion with good participation. Reopening the same request could be considered disruptive. — kashmīrīTALK 22:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Jet is too specific and could make a first impression upon users that the Wagner Group, a private military company, has a military jet fleet itself. Borgenland (talk) 07:47, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per all above. S5A-0043Talk 11:24, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, needlessly specific per all of the above; current title is adequately WP:CONCISE. Carguychris (talk) 19:23, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However I take your point about propaganda; considering this article is so tightly tied down, it is very poor. As an example it screams that Putin is denying it was a bomb but the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Putin allegedly tasked with the investigation have already linked on their website to Kommersant saying "Let us note that, according to experts in the field of accident investigation, the cause of the crash could have been an explosion that occurred in the tail section of the plane, which was torn off from it". [1] Kommersant also have a good early article on the crash [2]. Of course I'm not permitted to add any of this.
Maybe Wikipedia really is better left open to the people rather than Wikicrats and professionals extended auto confirmed editors. Just a thought. Amble123 (talk) 00:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
