Requested Move 30 September 2024
editI 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)
- Withdrawn - Oh God I did not see that nor do I want to get involved in that mess.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)
"Alleged"
editIt 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)
- 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. FallingGravity 22:11, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
