Is "University of Alberta shooting" really an appropriate title? It suggests that this was a school shooting, whereas it was actually a botched armed robbery that just happened to take place on the campus. Bueller 007 (talk) 14:31, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

University of Alberta shooting → 2012 HUB Mall shooting – A lack of other notable shootings at the University of Alberta's HUB Mall does not imply that a year is not necessary, factors such as how identifiable the incident does, and this incident does not appear to reach that level of notoriety. Please note that WP:NCWWW states that most events titles should say when, where, and what happened. Years are not WP:OVERPRECISION or only usable for disambiguation (if this were the case, then part of NCWWW would be basically irrelevant, and guidelines and policies should work in harmony, not in opposition to one another). Readers should not be confused if there have been other notable shootings at the HUB Mall because if there had been, it should be mentioned and linked to in the article, like with the distinguish template.

I removed "University of Alberta" from the proposed title due to the nature of the incident, and while searching for the most common terms, most sources refer to it as a shooting at HUB Mall specifically, including more recent sources.. Raskuly (talk) 05:09, 23 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom and NCWWW. Not well known enough or historical enough to lack the year. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:57, 24 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
