There's been some back and forth about the title, through bold unilateral moves and backstage requested ones. Maybe best to discuss openly. I feel plain and simple "Fredericton shooting" is both commonly used by reliable sources and sufficiently distinguishable from the shooting that happened 321 years ago. I understand the future is uncertain, and another notable shooting may occur in 2340, but I suggest that should be the time (if not sooner) to worry about a need to disambiguate, not presumptively today.

Hey WWGB, I noticed you removed the "Robb" in the Officer victim's name. Although the officer's name is not "Robb" specifically, it seems that he went by the name Robb due to multiple sources, including his obituary, referring to him as "Robb Costello" instead of his legal name. In a recent newspaper article published by Brunswick News, they spoke with his widow and the victim is referred to as "Robb Costello". Additionally (and I know that this isn't much, but I feel that it's just worth noting) a family member of mine who knew him referred to him as "Robb". Given the amount of sources referring to him as such, would it be okay to add "Robb" to the article, assuming he likely went by that name? B3251 (talk) 23:54, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@B3251: According to WP:HYPOCORISM, we do not publish a name which is a common hypocorism of one of their names. If Costello's nickname was "Chip" or "Buddy" we would publish it. However, "Robb" is derived from his middle name Robert. WWGB (talk) 02:16, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
