William Ray Bonner → 1973 South Los Angeles shooting – WP:BIO1E. Article is entirely about the shooting. Subject lacks notability beyond the event. No widely used WP:COMMONNAME, but the suggested title is listed in the Los Angeles Almanac, which seems suitable enough to differentiate the incident between other shootings that may have taken place in broader LA that year Rubintyrann (talk) 17:31, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
- Support 1973 South Los Angeles shootings per this just being a pseudo-biography about someone who fails WP:NCRIME, but the event around him passing WP:NCRIME. I substituted just "shooting" for "shootings" as this was a spree shooting. The article will need some restructuring if the move succeeds. Raskuly (🐰) 21:48, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
