Citation 24 Link broken

It appears the page linked to for citation 24 no longer exists 98.156.108.152 (talk) 17:57, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged it as a dead link. Thanks for spotting that and pointing it out. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 19:33, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 October 2023

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. No support for the proposed move at this time. Death/Killing can be discussed in another RM immediately after this closure. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Material Works 16:42, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Elijah McClain → Elijah McClain – This article is about Elijah McClain and not merely his death. Elijah deserves to be remembered for more than just his death. Buaidh talk e-mail 16:25, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:1E. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Killing of Elijah McClain - per WP:NCDEATHS as one of the officers involved has been found guilty of "criminally negligent homicide".[1] estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:14, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Probably best to make that a separate proposal after this one closes. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 14:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For those who may have missed it, Randy Roedema was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide yesterday, October 12, subsequent to this RM being opened. This would indeed make "Killing of" a likely article title - but I'm also inclined to have that as a separate discussion. This one will be at seven days tomorrow, and should probably be promptly closed at that time, given that the proposal has had no support. 162 etc. (talk) 15:26, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree 100%, and I would absolutely back a move to "Killing". TheXuitts (talk) 15:39, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:1E. The fact is that what made him notable is his death. We have countless other examples including Murder of Sarah Everard, Death of Mahsa Amini, Killing of Breonna Taylor, Killing of JonBenét Ramsey, etc. These people were not notable individuals while they were alive and neither was the subject of this article. Keivan.f^Talk 13:25, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. This is a single event, and Elijah himself is not notable outside the circumstances of his death. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 17:18, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above, though I would also support moving the article to "Killing of Elijah McClain". ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 01:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Elijah McClain → Killing of Elijah McClain – Per WP:NCDEATHS as one officer has been convicted of "criminally negligent homicide" in McClain's death. [2]. estar8806 (talk) ★ 17:47, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
