not just "conspiracy theorists". Had reported shots fired from multiple locations other than Mandalay Bay. The victims of this tragedy deserve for every detail to be included. Not just a whitewash of reality. This article is severely flawed in leaving these details out!!!!! 2600:1006:B19F:BB1F:0:1B:C06C:1A01 (talk) 21:36, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I personally think it's a little weird to refer to it as the "2017 Las Vegas shooting" for the following reasons: The 2017 disambiguation is a little bit silly, most people think of this shooting when you talk about the deadliest mass shooting in U.S history. Also, the shooting technically took place in Paradise, Nevada, which is only just adjacent to Las Vegas. It would be better to refer to this as the the "Route 91 Harvest festival shooting" or even the "Las Vegas strip massacre" of which the former I believe is preferable. I mean, this is literally the deadliest mass shooting in US history and the best name we have is a year and (incorrect) city followed by 'shooting'?

The current title is within usual naming guidelines for mass shooting articles. "Las Vegas shooting" would be too vague. While it is technically true that most of the casino strip area is in Paradise, news media coverage said Las Vegas so WP:COMMONNAME applies. "Route 91 Harvest festival shooting" was WP:SNOW rejected in February 2024.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 16:12, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
