Name change?

I think this article might need a name change as the news develops. It might be worth noting FedEx and/or the airport in the title rather than just the city if there is more association with the former. Sewageboy (talk) 07:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The shooting didn't occur at the airport, though. I am open to a title modeled after San Francisco UPS shooting, though. Love of Corey (talk) 07:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My bad on the airport part; disregard that part of the idea. Sewageboy (talk) 07:34, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Love of Corey (talk) 07:41, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also consider 2021 Indianapolis Fedex shooting (or Indianapolis Fedex shooting) a better page name. – Athaenara ✉ 09:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be easier to have all mass shootings for a given year start with the year, i.e. "2021 <location> + <business or notable organisation involved> shooting"? That way people could just search for 2021 shootings wikipedia and immediately get a list? Oathed (talk) 16:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This comment just makes me immeasurably sad. But yes, I agree. 152.132.8.134 (talk) 18:01, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In many cases, the year isn't needed in the article. There are already articles such as list of mass shootings in the United States in 2021 & cats such as Category:2021 mass shootings for the purpose you state. Jim Michael (talk) 18:08, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the article move! The original title was written out of drowsiness, so I apologize for that flub. Love of Corey (talk) 19:41, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of Sikh victims

Should the mention of the victims religion be included? This, in my own opinion, will spark unnecessary motive discussion. While working on the 2021 Boulder shooting, there was someone who added the race of the victims. It was reverted as the shooting was preliminary and no motive was established.

I feel as this shooting is very preliminary, the inclusion of the religion of some of the victims is unneeded. Kellis7 21:05, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that currently we don’t have evidence that the victims religion is relevant and that we should wait to see if their religion was a factor before we add it.--67.70.101.238 (talk) 03:23, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
