Move to 2023 UNLV shooting?
Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE Vataxevader (talk) 23:51, 6 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Also in the article, better to use the common name UNLV throughout after the first reference 189.254.174.52 (talk) 03:49, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The title would be meaningless to most casual readers. CONCISE has its limits. —Locke Cole • t • c 04:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Most schools in Category:University and college shootings in the United States have their full name spelled out and I think the same should hold here. The notable exception here is UCLA, where you could argue that it has enough worldwide recognition that it can be shortened. However, one could also make the case for expanding it. - Fuzheado &#124; Talk 09:12, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Anthony "Tony" Polito
Sources say that Tony also went with his first name of Anthony. Polito was born in North Carolina in September 1956. NBC News reported that Polito was a former business professor at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, which he indeed did for most of his life. However, a Microsoft Word document on his own website says that he also teaches business at both the University of Georgia and University of Northern Iowa before heading back to East Carolina. Records show that Polito began his academic journey at Radford University, ultimately earning a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Statistics. Seeking further intellectual growth, he pursued advanced studies at Duke University, obtaining a Master’s degree in Business Administration. Several pages of the Word document reported that he first started his business professor career at ECU in the Spring 1992 before heading to Georgia in 1994, Northern Iowa in 1999, and back to ECU in 2001. Throughout his career, he had over two dozen trips to Las Vegas since November 1998, only seventeen of which are between November 1998 and December 2008. His website said that he was semi-retired, but judging by the WayBackMachine says that his website hasn't been updated since 2021. ABC News later confirmed that he retired in 2017. KTNV also reported that he has connections with both Georgia and North Carolina. 2600:1702:5225:C010:7109:72E3:5A60:1F32 (talk) 14:27, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Giving shooters attention
I don’t even know if this is supposed to be here and I’m sorry if it’s not but Wikipedia articles should stop naming shooters and mass murderers in articles when shooters do what they do 98% of the time they want their name out there in the world 2600:8801:1187:7F00:1142:7BD7:1E6:3104 (talk) 02:06, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Lmao yeah why not keep contribute to mass shooting contagion (which has an article on this god forsaken website) you wiki admins are so weird bro. Acting like the wiki manual is the god given truth and impossible to change. 2600:1016:B01C:DEEB:518B:E8EE:A4F8:9E6D (talk) 16:34, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * We're not admins. Just editors following the rules. Change can come about on Wikipedia, but with consensus, not unilateral decisions. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:03, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Whiteness?
Are there sources that confirm the murderer's whiteness? Can we quickly add that, if so? ExpertPrime (talk) 04:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)


 * How about shooters in Wikipedia articles stop getting mentioned by name and don’t have their whole life story told with facts about them? Since they are doing this for attention. 2600:8801:1187:7F00:E066:1267:EE16:A00F (talk) 07:11, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * IP: you're just making an assumption. Who says that shooters do what they do for attention? And again, remember that Wikipedia is here to provide information, not influence opinion. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
