Requesting the shooter’s name not be listed on the first line of the title. I understand it’s important to identify; but he needs to not be the main focus. His name should not be famous or known especially as the headline for these lost souls. 2601:204:D380:E660:BC91:D429:DBC4:6FD3 ( talk) 11:04, 2 September 2023 (UTC) reply

•  Not done per WP:DUE and WP:POPCULTURE. The only source I could find was here, and it doesn't establish that the song is noteworthy enough for a mention.-- ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  He did state that the sing was dedicated and on the cover it says the last words in the song where dedicated to the 2600:1014:B131:9899:4D69:F101:6F8D:8DD1 ( talk) 00:44, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you, but that is not the point. You need to supply a link to an review or article about this song that shows the song and its dedication is culturally significant and caused an impact. Richard-of-Earth ( talk) 05:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Okay, that qualifies, but we do not have a tribute section. Should we include other tributes? Should it be in the reactions section or a separate section? Richard-of-Earth ( talk) 03:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

It should be in the reaction section 2600:1014:B1A4:E166:14A9:DF60:5658:1192 ( talk) 19:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Get the facts right, please. Parkland is not part of Miami at all. It is an affluent suburban city Broward county, far enough north of Miami to be closer to Boca Raton rather than Miami. No wonder it has become difficult to trust this site for factual information! 2601:588:C500:DB40:BCDD:C084:F302:4B8C ( talk) 09:49, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Parkland is part of the Miami metropolitan area. It is a separate city so the article should not give the impression that is a suburb of Miami. I've tweaked the wording.-- ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 10:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC) reply
