Colorado shooting

[edit]

Should a shooting at King Soopers be mentioned?

Probably not. It does not make a huge impact on the franchise's history as a whole, and would probably just be WP:RECENTISM/WP:UNDUE issues.--Cerebral726 (talk) 16:14, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. The shooting is becoming known as the "King Soopers shooting". Several refs- https://www.fox4news.com/news/boulder-active-shooter-police-respond-to-shooting-inside-king-soopers-grocery-store https://www.denverpost.com/2021/03/23/boulder-shooting-updates-tuesday-suspect/ AntoineHound (talk) 17:21, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the phrase "King Sooper shooting" in the second source. If it does eventually become the common name, it may be worth considering adding something very short to the article, as long as it doesn't violate WP:UNDUE.--Cerebral726 (talk) 17:26, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I get that. But take a look at this - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&geo=US&q=king%20soopers. People are looking up this subject and it's obviously about the shooting, not about buying groceries. I think it's relevant. AntoineHound (talk) 17:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree; if it's what people are looking at this page for, it's worth mentioning. I suggest reinstating what was in the article last night -
On March 22, 2021, a King Soopers location in Boulder, Colorado, was the site of the 2021 Boulder shooting in which ten civilians and a police officer were killed.[1]
Leaving as is also works. Cran32 (talk | contributions) 17:49, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was a major event which warrants being briefly mentioned in the article. Jim Michael (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the change as it is. Before it was added as a new section. I'm happy with this brief mention.--Cerebral726 (talk) 13:48, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It only needs one sentence. Jim Michael (talk) 14:11, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change "On March 22, 2021, a King Soopers location in Boulder, Colorado, was the site of the 2021 Boulder shooting in which ten people were killed" to "On March 22, 2021, a King Soopers location in Boulder, Colorado, was the site of a mass shooting in which ten people were killed".

Love of Corey, I mean, someone else has done it 🔥LightningComplexFire🔥 14:30, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@LightningComplexFire: I've marked this as not done again because it looks to me like this change was not made (the former text quoted is in place, not the latter text). — Bilorv (talk) 01:53, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
