The result of the move request was: Consensus to Move - !Votes were balanced in favour of moving. The arguments of the move !voters were based mostly on conciseness and recognisability, whilst the main arguments of the oppose !voters were centred around consistency with other similar killings and WP:1E. The weight of opinion in favour of "Harambe" being more recognisable a term, and the article not only being about the killing per se (and so WP:1E did not apply so much), shows a narrow but clear consensus in favour of moving in this discussion.

Killing of Harambe → Harambe – More concise title. The original 2016 move was requested for "disambiguation", but Harambe still redirects here, so I'm not sure what purpose the longer title serves. We have a number of other articles named for animals that were notable mainly for one incident: Balto, Belka and Strelka, Binti Jua, Chance the Snapper, Cher Ami, Dolly (sheep), Emperor of Exmoor, Jambo, Joe the Pigeon, Laika, Pickles (dog), and Sam (koala). Those are just the ones I found after a quick search; there may be others under Category:Individual animals by taxon. The § Incident, i.e. the killing itself, takes up only a small part of the article. The § Internet meme and pop culture references, which take up a much larger part, are often shorthanded with just "Harambe".

In the section "media" there is currently the following text
On October 18, 2021, a 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) bronze statue of Harambe was illegally placed in Bowling Green Park, facing the Charging Bull statue, which itself had originally been illegally placed. The act was carried out by organizers promoting Sapien.Network, an in-development social media network who are dedicated to putting the needs of humans first. The statue of Harambe facing the bull whose feet were surrounded by 10,000 bananas was a statement about wealth disparity.
I would like to request three changes to this.
Thank you, 86.23.109.101 ( talk) 21:15, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
.. dicks out for harambe is not a reference to armed retribution, its literally about pulling your dick out in solidarity.. whoever wrote that is embarrassingly out of touch and is not qualified to write about internet culture.. 179.49.61.66 ( talk) 18:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
If Harambe was born on May 27, 1999 and was shot on May 28, 2016, he was 17 years old when he was killed. However, the article states that he lived at the Cincinnati Zoo for 3 years and the Gladys Porter Zoo for 15 years, which adds up to 18 years. This should be checked, it probably just adds up to living at Gladys Porter for 14 instead of 15 years. TheRuinsOfAlpha ( talk) 22:04, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
On second glance, this only seems to be on the Google page that links to Wikipedia about "Harambe's killing" so I am unaware if Wikipedia can change that. The page is correct, stating he lived in Cinci from 2014-2016 TheRuinsOfAlpha ( talk) 22:12, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello - I'm requesting an edit be made the following sentence as it contains editorial opinion with the word 'violently'. Also, the full video is available for review and the description of violently does not accurately describe the event. IF there was consideration for using this word, it should be referenced to respect to what violently would be with respect to a lowland gorilla and by no means is the encounter anywhere close to what a violent action by a lowland gorilla would be.
On May 28, 2016, a three-year-old boy visiting the zoo climbed under a fence into an outdoor gorilla enclosure where he was grabbed and dragged violently by Harambe.

Someone needs to removes that "dicks" are slang for "guns." None of the cited articles support that in any way, the meme was never about armed resistance, and it's a blatantly untrue statement. 47.153.240.142 ( talk) 17:31, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
One example of this was the "Dicks out for Harambe" meme.. This admittedly leaves the sentence quite bare, but this request made me think it was probably better to remove this material before a fuller sentence more supported by sources can be worked out.
