On 5 February 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Encounter killings by police to Encounter killing. The result of the discussion was moved. |
I redirected this article to here because I couldn't find any sources that mentioned the "Mumbai Encounter Squad," but maybe there's some content there that someone would like to integrate into this article. Prezbo ( talk) 17:06, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Actually I'm going to prod this. The article text is here if anyone wants it. Prezbo ( talk) 17:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Just happened upon this article randomly, and although I know nothing about the subject, the article could probably use a POV review. It seems to suggest that "beyond a doubt" the people killed are criminals (all incidents? the singular is used, implying a particular incident.) It also contradicts itself in a paragraph or two about whether these people were in police custody or not. Better citation in the "Police Encounter" section of the article might clear up some of this. Wevets ( talk) 16:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was moved to
Encounter killings by police to get it settled.

Encounter killings → Police encounter — Relisted. Please indicate clearly your preferences for the title: Encounter killings, Police encounter, Police encounter killings, or Encounter killings by police. Ucucha 18:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
The Article begin with "An encounter is a euphemism used in South Asia, especially in India, to describe "extrajudicial killings" in which police or armed forces shoot down suspected gangsters and terrorists in gun battles".The word extrajudicial implies that all police encounters are illegal which is not the case. I think "police shootout" is more apt than extrajudicial killings.Admis please take a note. Prav001 ( talk)
After some trimming and re-wording I think the intro and body text is acceptable now. Just.
Good references are important, so I've updated some - and removed some unreferenced items.
BTW, I think it's fairly important to keep a clear line between "encounters", which may be a bit questionable; and completely fake "encounters" used to coverup a killing done elsewhere. Snori ( talk) 01:01, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
Hey everyone- I found this in the 'Gujarat' section:
It is notable that the only cases which attracts media attention among the hundreds of fake encounter cases as per the data available at public disposal from NHRC and other authoritative sources, have two specific characteristics as noted below:- 1. The alleged victims are Muslims. 2. The alleged state is a BJP ruled state.
This is uncited, poorly formatted, uses potentially biased language that asserts unsubstantiated conclusions that are inappropriate on an encyclopedia, and as such is potential vandalism under the Vandalism Guidelines. Hence, I suggest immediate removal and discussion. Thanks!

The result of the move request was: moved. WP:CONCISE would indicate that the preferred title be Encounter killings, as per the nom. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Sceptre ( talk) 17:36, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Encounter killings by police → Encounter killing – For WP:PRECISION, WP:CONCISE and WP:SINGULAR. As acknowledged in the article, some of these killings involve military or paramilitary forces or federal agents, not always police. — BarrelProof ( talk) 21:56, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

@ SpinnerLaserzthe2nd: Herein you added a multitude of cats for a whole host of countries which have no mention in the article, if these are to be added you have to find the souces add them to the body and then put the apt cats per WP:V, you cannot insert WP:OR cats into the article.
And wherein in the source you added for Iran is encounter even mentioned once? We have a separate article for extrajudicial killings which is what the article directly pertains to, your addition is a clear violation of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. This article is for the specific term of "encounter killing" and not the broader extrajudicial killings in general, ff you cannot find the apt verifiable sources do not add it.
