About the cause of death in the infobox

Regarding this revert to the infobox, murder is a mode of death as opposed to being a cause of death. In this case, since gunshot wounds are listed the actual cause of death, should we remove the "murder" terminology or keep it in the infobox? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:21, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sjones23: In my opinion the infobox should def link to the Columbus nightclub shooting, maybe "gunshot wounds (murdered)".★Trekker (talk) 15:47, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We want to be careful to avoid a potential WP:EGG issue, since we don't usually allow Easter egg links. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 18:13, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sjones23: Maybe "gunshot wounds (murdered during the Columbus nightclub shooting)"? A bit long, but clear.★Trekker (talk) 21:20, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That'll work. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:30, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
