Title change?

This article is titled 'Death of ...'. Since it was a murder should that be changed to 'Murder of ...'? RJFJR ( talk) 19:09, 12 March 2020 (UTC) reply

@ RJFJR: Wikipedia's current standard for naming an article " Murder of ...." is conviction of a perpetrator for murder. That is a finding that the murder is beyond reasonable doubt. Based on the current article, all that is certain is that the subject is deceased, the rest is a matter of speculation from various quarters. Wikipedia should not get ahead of the proven facts in this case. The word "Death" is certain and neutral. Using another word to describe what happened depends on who you are inclined to believe. - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 20:33, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply
