Hey all. Obvi the title sucks but I tried to keep it NPOV. Instead of an edit war, let's discuss what WP:NPOV titles might be good. Peace, MPS (talk) 15:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for moving it so boldly. I moved it to Shooting of Michael Brown per similar incidents like:

• Shooting of Trayvon Martin
• Shooting of Amadou Diallo
• Shooting of Kayla Rolland
• Shooting of Renisha McBride

There are exceptions to this style, but major events like this have been so named, thus, I acted. -- Veggies (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your boldness. I actually agree with this title based on your justification. [note to others: original title was "2014 Michael Brown death and aftermath in Ferguson Missouri" which sucked as a title. Peace, MPS (talk) 16:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Although the LEO shooting death was the proximate cause, the on-going protests/riots probably deserve a more comprehensive title. But things haven't gelled just yet, Wikipedia-wise. kencf0618 (talk) 04:13, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Before we get into a huge debate about whether this article is notable/relveant etc given it is so new, I want to preempt discussion and say that if nobody is talkiung about this in 3 weeks we can def delete it. Even so, I think people should be aware of the essay called WP:RECENT that covers a lot of what you might be thinking. Peace, MPS (talk) 15:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Michael-Ridgway (talk) 17:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC) Can someone please point me to instructions for how to point to an existing reference. The mention of Brown dying 35 feet away from the police cruiser is found in many sources, among them number 2, the vox.com article.[reply]
