Is "Tragedy at Trolley Square" encyclopedic and NPOV? It used to say "2007 Shooting Incident", which strikes me as better, if less dramatic.

I heard atleast one major US cable news station refer to it as that (Fox News) and they also said that that's what local residents were referring to it as and I thought that it sounded appropriate.Gold Stur 07:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hmm. I do still feel the phrase is not NPOV, but it is hard for me to argue, because it is POV in a direction I agree with. I don't think Fox News is a good reference for what is and is not NPOV. On the other hand, if it is common in the media to refer to the incident by that phrase, we might keep it for ease of communication. (It seems silly to me to refer to 9/11 as "The Twin Towers Incident of 2001", to make a comparison.) 63.226.241.115 09:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Looking at Category:Spree shootings, most other similar incidents are labelled as "massacre" or "shooting". Also, we should discuss whether the shooting incident should be described in a separate article. — Zaui (talk) 15:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
