On 15 September 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Trump International Golf Club shooting. The result of the discussion was moved to Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida.

Requested Move 30 September 2024

I am officially proposing a move review from Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida to September 2024 attempted assassination of Donald Trump for the following reason: the ladder option is more precise because it includes the specific time frame of the event (September 2024), which clarifies when the attempted assassination occurred. Option A does specify a location (Florida), but it lacks the temporal detail that can be important for context. Readers with lacking information would not be given enough context in the title to determine which came first, which is more important than the location it occurred in.

Procedural oppose - a discussion regarding the previous move request is currently open at MR. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:12, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn - Oh God I did not see that nor do I want to get involved in that mess. Best, Zeke (talk) 22:14, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Alleged"

It seems very strange to describe the assassination attempt as simply "alleged" in the lead. If there are enough RS to support this article being titled "Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida", then we shouldn't need alleged in the lead. And if the RS say that it is alleged, the title shouldn't be so unqualified. ~ HAL333 15:46, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The RS I added to the article supports "alleged assassination attempt" (Politico). More recent reporting by The Independent confirms this, and it also falls in line with WP:ALLEGED. I believe the current title less about what RS say and more the result of the previous title being about a 'shooting' even though no shots were fired. ^Falling_Gravity 22:11, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The opening line should say current president elect, not just past tense 65.39.44.158 (talk) 17:57, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's describing his status on September 15. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 20:59, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
