Hello everyone, I wanted to follow up on the recent discussions regarding the consensus reached at Talk:2024_Kolkata_rape_and_murder#RfC:_Name_of_victim to avoid naming the victim <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2024_Kolkata_rape_and_murder#RfC:_Name_of_victim>. While the conversation began with promise, users on discussion page have noted a lack of participation from the Indian community. As pointed out by some, silence in discussions does not imply community consent, and your input is crucial for shaping guidelines that reflect our cultural and legal contexts.
The consensus to avoid naming victims has already been established, and the guideline was furnished a month ago. Now, we simply need to incorporate it into the Manual of Style. For that to happen, we need to demonstrate our support in writing at the talk page linked. I encourage all interested users to share their thoughts on the Wikipedia talk page for Manual of Style/India-related articles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/India-related_articles>. Your contributions will help create a comprehensive and culturally sensitive policy moving forward.
