Randolph Evans → Death of Randolph Evans – There is 0 indication this youngster was ever known for anything other than getting killed. As a biography, it's a complete fail of notability as WP:BLP1E. However, his death (and since no one was or ever will be found guilty of killing him, it's a huge stretch to call it murder) is probably notable.

Hence, this article should be moved to another title. Rather than just BOLDly move it, I realize the new title may be debatable, so we have an RM. John from Idegon (talk) 19:59, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment upon above "Requested move 28 September 2016"

Having voted in support of "Death of Randolph Evans" as the article's main title header, I should note that had the nomination proposed Killing of Randolph Evans or Murder of Randolph Evans, I would have also supported those. The accused officer was indicted and tried on the charge of "second-degree murder" and was found "not guilty by reason of insanity", thus sustaining the use of the other two proposed titles. The concurrent nomination Murder of Deborah Gardner → Killing of Deborah Gardner, in which the perpetrator was also found "not guilty by reason of insanity", presents a different combination of circumstances, but a similar verdict. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Randolph Evans → Shooting of Randolph Evans – Three years ago (Talk:Death of Randolph Evans#Requested move 28 September 2016), above, the main title header was moved from Randolph Evans to Death of Randolph Evans. However, a more-specific header would have been Shooting of Randolph Evans or Killing of Randolph Evans, as mentioned under post-move "Comment upon above "Requested move 28 September 2016"".
