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: moved. Supporting arguments are leaning on WP:DEATHS (see the flowchart) which indicates "Killing" should be used when there is not an alternative common name consistently used among sources, unless there is a murder conviction involved.

Shooting of Alton SterlingKilling of Alton Sterling – Per WP:DEATHS. Sterling's death was a homicide, as he was fatally shot. 162 etc. (talk) 16:06, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

The Louisiana Attorney General's report found that the officers were "justified in their use of force"[1], but doesn't specifically address self-defence. 162 etc. (talk) 16:36, 3 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Killing doesn't mean criminal homicide. This was a homicide in the medicolegal sense though. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:38, 3 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Felon

Very simply, he was a known felon, selling bootleg CD's with a loaded revolver. So, if it makes you feel better to see that he was murdered, go ahead. 2600:8807:E8E:2400:E102:D595:464D:D26A (talk) 02:58, 28 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
