Proper german and translation

Just wanted to say that I've corrected the german spelling (took it directly from his mirrored homepage) and also corrected the translation slightly, as it was wrong in it's previous form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowfoxi (talk • contribs) 13:24, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Emsdetten school shooting → 2006 Emsdetten school shooting – Not notable enough to have a WP:NOYEAR title NesserWiki (talk) 21:10, 13 June 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley $\lor$ investigateᛅ} 22:57, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Support as there is no requirement for there to be multiple notable shootings at schools in a single location for a year to be used in the title. Per WP:NCWWW, most article titles for events require years for identifying purposes, and only a small number can manage without. This one does not appear to be able to.

Oppose no need for DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:09, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
Oppose as unnecessary WP:OVERPRECISION and per WP:CONCISE. The title is not ambiguous and if moved would just redirect back to the longer title anyway. The WP:NOYEAR guideline does not require years in every case, and we should not imply by the title that there were other shootings here in other years. Station1 (talk) 05:29, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Support per WP:NOYEAR; the year is included by default per the naming guidelines, and this is not so well known as to be described in "historical perspective". PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:59, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
