New title makes no sense

[edit]

There wasn't a single "homicide"... Beejsterb (talk) 22:58, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But it's a WP:BLPCRIME violation to call this a murder when the suspect has not been found guilty in a court of law yet. Besides, there is a similarly titled article in Wikipedia, under the same subject, no less. Parsley Man (talk) 01:33, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A bit disingenuous, since you renamed it yourself that same day. ansh666 02:31, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming article

[edit]

@Kristijh: Please discuss a possible rename for the article here before actually commencing with said rename. Both times you've done it were both unexpected and unwarranted. Parsley Man (talk) 17:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, the ungrammatical second comma should be removed. Deli nk (talk) 10:37, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 26 September 2016

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved per nom. Amakuru and Cuchullain provided decisive arguments: per WP:USPLACE and practice, state name in this position is redundant and often perceived as awkward; disambiguation is not needed. No such user (talk) 09:22, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]



– Same issue for both: the strange, ungrammatical second comma the unneeded state disambiguation, and the fact that they're both mass killings. I'm open to another descriptor than "homicides", but I think it's probably the best compromise. ansh666 02:28, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly formatted pings: @Parsley Man:, who renamed both to include either the state or second comma, and @Kristijh, Deli nk, and Beejsterb: who also commented on the talk page. ansh666 02:30, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of year

Citronelle homicidesCitronelle murders – Back on September 11 of this year, I updated this article to reflect that Derrick Dearman had plead guilty in the killings (see here), citing this, this, this and this as sources for that claim. Apparently, he has also been found guilty in the killings as well (at least according to al.com). As Derrick Dearman has both plead guilty and been found guilty in the killings, I think this article should be moved to Citronelle murders. Heart of Destruction (talk) 07:53, 24 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

Another proposed title

[edit]

Why not call this article "2016 Citronelle, Alabama mass shooting" or "[date and place...] mass killing"? The fact of the mass killing is referred to several times in sources and it is classified as a "mass shooting" in the infobox. This descriptive title is not dependent on the outcome of the prosecution or trial.Parkwells (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
