– Consistent naming for Category:People shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States. See recent multi-article RM at Talk:Shooting of Atatiana Jefferson (closed as consensus to move to "Shooting of ..." 21 May 2020). —BarrelProof (talk) 04:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested refinement: Move Death of William Corey Jackson to Shooting of Corey Jackson (removing "William") and Death of Donald P. Scott to Shooting of Donald Scott (removing the "P."): According to the sources in the article and this source, "Corey" (sometimes spelled "Cory") was a nickname, not a middle name, and was Jackson's common name. Reviewing the sources in the Donald Scott case, his name was commonly used without the middle initial. —BarrelProof (talk) 15:57, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Makes sense to me, consistency-wise. Love of Corey (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support The title of the article should infer the reason for its notability. It is not merely the fact that Breonna Taylor died which makes her case notable, but specifically the fact that she was shot and killed. Flip^and Flopped ツ 02:25, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for consistency and article navigability; we typically precede notable deaths with "Death of" not the mechanism of death (e.g. "Shooting of," "Stabbing of," "Drowning of," "Burning of," etc.) Chetsford (talk) 05:07, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support Taylor was shot, that is factual. It is how it was reported. In line with WP:WEIGHT and [[Npov|NPOV], the title should be "shooting of". To try and remove the reason for notability here is a political choice, and in my opinion would actually be a breach of NPOV because it would reflect a conscious choice to divorce the article from the coverage.
