Talk:Total body disruption

Ridiculous article

The term is self explanatory. Is there really a good reason for this to be on wikipedia? The topic is only practically of relevance in the context of other more dominant subjects (eg weapons, military conflicts and forensic science) in which it can be mentioned as part of a separate subject and the only reason why I can think as to why it is here as a stand alone topic is that a childish desire to promulgate a prurient concept. 209.93.146.110 (talk) 13:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Total body disruption is a valid medical term describing an important phenomena, yet the term is still uncommon in lay knowledge, and the term collates and clarifies from the numerous unscientific slang terms that have countlessly been used throughout the years for this cause of death and are synonymous with other events:

e.g. "blew up":

"They blew up and died"..."You mean, they were inflated like a balloon and died? Or they blew up with anger and had a fatal heart attack?"

and it differentiates from non-causes of death: "I got blown up three times so I am now on disability from my injuries."

Personal misgivings about an article do not make the article invalid. May I point you to the decapitation, coffin birth, or defenestration articles? This article due to validity, stands. 2603:800C:1700:9400:9DE4:5881:775E:9B9 (talk) 21:36, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

I think the article should be renamed to use the redirect title which was just requested and activated, i.e., "Gross dismemberment". As stated, this latter terminology is very important in legal practice for Emergency Medical workers, because according to many local laws according to jurisdiction in the U.S. "gross dismemberment" is the only assessment non-M.D. EMS personnel can--and then must--explicitly invoke in order to discontinue rescue interventions at a scene. As such, it is a term-of-art for EMS personnel that subsumes more than the words of its literal meaning, making it equivalent to--and more decorus, in my opinion, than--the current article title. I agree with @209.93.146.110 that the "spray mist" or whatever that is currently in the lede salacious, although I'm not expert enough to raise a dispute on the point. I do wish there were more citations for the suspicious phrases, which sound like urban lingo to me. 67.185.21.25 (talk) 22:31, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Article creator here. Thanks for your contribution 67.185.21.25, it is quite important. I put your "gross dismemberment" term in bold on the article due to its importance. "Grossly dismembered" definitely rolls off the tongue easier than "total body disruption", and is easier to use in sentences instead of "totally body disrupted" or "underwent total body disruption"... Ideally, "grossly dismembered" should replace the term of "blew up" and all those other slang terms in common modern English. Thanks, and stay safe! BuddyOrgan (talk) 00:57, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
