September 2024 East–West MRT line disruption → 2024 East–West MRT line disruption – While there are other train disruptions in 2024 (like a lightning strike on another line, most of the rest, if any, and if not all, are minor and likely not notable by our standards here. Therefore proposing the removal of the month here. Furthermore, adding the hyphen for consistency with the parent topic, East–West MRT line. – robertsky (talk) 05:17, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I might keep the month but would add the dash. Also depends on how news sources would describe the incident.--ZKang123 (talk) 09:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would like to further propose that the word disruption be changed to derailment since the derailment was the main part of the incident that then led to all the subsequent damages and disruptions. Pentagon 2057 (T/C) 10:02, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have personally not named it derailment until news reports confirmed it is a derailment. There seems to be a lot of speculation of details.--ZKang123 (talk) 10:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that while I personally off-wiki would've called it a derailment (I mean we've seen the videos and photos), from a Wikipedia POV I agree with ZKang that if no reliable sources call it a derailment, we can't call it one either, because that would be original research. However, there is an SCMP article that calls it a "derailment" [1], and ST has said that a train bogie "derailed" as well [2][3], which might help Pentagon's case for calling it a "derailment".

The ST articles on the incident calls it a "disruption" in the headlines as well as most news sources such as AsiaOne, CNA, and the Business Times. Even though the train did technically derail, I think calling it a 'derailment' would give people the impression that the train flipped over when it came off the tracks. Furthermore, the articles covering the incident focused more on the impacts of the incident rather than the cause Imbluey2.

Oppose: I wouldn't keep the month unless there was a similar incident that occured a month after the previous incident. However, I agree with the dash Imbluey2. Please ping me so that I get notified of your response 12:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you are opposing to keeping the month or? 🤔 – robertsky (talk) 13:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well for now unless if there was another accident that just so happened to occur on the EWL in 2024. I probably should have changed it to "Oppose to keeping the month" Imbluey2. Please ping me so that I get notified of your response 13:46, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
