Articles with significant coverage | Publications | Terminology used |
---|---|---|
Riot-hit areas of Bengaluru's Pulakeshinagar resemble war zone | Times of India | Riot |
Bangalore riots: India's tech city sees deadly violence over anti-Islam Facebook post | DW News | Riot |
Bengaluru violence: Three dead, over 50 cops injured; CRPF deployed to affected areas | Indian Express | Riot/Violence |
Congress, BJP, JD(S) condemn Bengaluru riots, say they were planned | Deccan Herald | Riot |
Bengaluru riots were planned, will recover damages from rioters: Karnataka govt | India Today | Riot |
How two police stations in Bengaluru became targets of mob violence on Tuesday night | The News Minute | Riot - they use 'riot' and 'riot-like' here |
Bengaluru mob violence: BJP blames ‘appeasement politics’, SDPI leader arrested | The Week | Riot |
Either of the terms can be used here so it is irrelevant if this can be defined as a riot of not, such a personal conclusion without any secondary sources would be original research anyways. The article title depends on the guidelines of WP:COMMONNAME according to which the "the name that is most commonly used as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources" should be used.
As for the analysis, that's a rather poor one isn't it? For instance, the only time The Week article uses the term riot is while quoting Yediyurappa or the government and itself repeatedly refering to it as "Tuesday night's violence", The News Minute only uses the term riot-like situation once and otherwise repeatedly describes it as "Bengaluru violence", "mob violence", etc, lastly that Indian Express article does not make any mention of the term riot at all in its body (headlines unsupported in the body aren't reliable, see Wikipedia:Headlines). The Deccan Hearld article is a compilation of quotes and reactions to the incidents by political parties, not the actual article of the story ( Bengaluru MLA's house attacked by mob over Facebook post; three dead, two injured; linked in the very article) which in fact makes no use of the term riot. The Times of India article is also a patchwork of quotes which doesn't really call it anything other than in the headlines, it should in any case be avoided as a source in contentious areas.
In any case I've updated the above chart to include the new sources you've presented here which are relevant. Tayi Arajakate Talk 14:28, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
