Re this edit: The problem with linking to violence against LGBT people in the United States is that it gives the impression that Mateen set out to kill LGBT people with an intentional motive of homophobia as a hate crime, which we now know is unlikely and not supported by the investigators. The context of the UpStairs Lounge arson attack in 1973 is also misleading, because the arsonist was never caught or prosecuted, and again the motive may not have been intentional homophobia. These incidents resulted in the deaths of many gay men, but the motive in both cases may not have been homophobia. ♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 08:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Orlando nightclub shooting → Pulse nightclub shooting – WP:COMMONNAME. On Google Trends, for example, when comparing the search terms “Pulse nightclub shooting” and “Orlando nightclub shooting”, the former has historically been used at a significantly higher rate than the latter, at points being used ten times as much.

Oppose: WP:TITLE is the policy here, not what Google says, which can be misleading. Please don't base move requests on using WP:GOOGLE as the argument. The current title is ok.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 08:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't think there's a dire need to change the title but I do think the Pulse title is substantially more common and I don't see a reason not to use it. Also personally I marginally prefer it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 15:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
