Hello For anyone willing to provide input, there's an RFC related to this category here, and any input would be greatly appreciated. The question is: "Should this article, concerning firearm-related violence with multiple persons injured, be included in the mass-shooting category, even though no sources directly refer to it as a mass shooting?" The key debate concerns whether "mass shooting" is a special term that requires labelling by a reliable source. Thanks in advance!--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 17:05, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
