April 2021 United States Capitol car attack → United States Capitol car attack – April 2021 does not need to be included in the title because this is the only documented car attack at the United States Capitol. 9March2019 (talk) 19:03, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- seems utterly non-controversial. Feoffer (talk)

Support per nominator, this is the only United States Capitol car attack so far. JIP | Talk 16:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

United States Capitol car attack → 2021 United States Capitol car attack – Just a week after the previous RM, where editors decided to go against the naming convention WP:NCEVENTS (making in the process the title less WP:PRECISE), another car-ramming attack happened against the US Capitol, with a similar level of coverage ensuing [1] [2] [3]. The year is now necessary not only because it's WP:CONSISTENT with the rest of the List of vehicle-ramming attacks, but because it's necessary to disambiguate with the 2022 attack, which I don't think has an article (yet).

Support (strongly) per nom, and per WP:NCEVENTS. Paintspot Infez (talk) 15:43, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I didn't see the previous RM (which is fine; consensus is formed from the participants), but it wasn't a good close. It should have been relisted. VQuakr (talk) 16:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move to United States Capitol car attack (2021) If we are using the year as a disambiguation, then it should be in parentheses, unless the year is part of the common/official name. 9March2019 (talk) 01:54, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
9March, have you read the naming convention WP:NCEVENTS? It states that the when should come first in the title. Pilaz (talk) 11:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, my bad. 9March2019 (talk) 23:03, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
These capitol RMs are still ongoing? Anyway, support. Super Ψ Dro 22:09, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and now with subsequent incidents of car attacks at the United States Capitol, the year must be included in the title. 9March2019 (talk) 22:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
