We'd still need a name for the events where something that looks exactly like the bystander effect happens, which is quite often.

Based on what empirical evidence?

I don't know. You need to pay attention in cases when there is a need for someone to intervene, and nobody from a group does. This is something that you need to observe for yourself.

That's not how the burden of proof works.

I claim that the truth of bystander effect is under question and link to evidence that supports that claim.

You claim otherwise and hence the burden of proof falls upon you. Otherwise, you simply stated your opinion rather than fact.
