Sigma School shooting → 2002 Sigma School shooting – Not notable enough to have a WP:NOYEAR title PlainWikiUser1 (talk) 22:43, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Comment: I can't even tell if "Sigma School" should be in the title because I'm unable to find sources on it outside of those existing in the article and on the Portuguese article. Those sources don't seem to indicate much notability to me. Raskuly 🐰 04:22, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom and the naming guidelines, WP:NCE, which establishes that for an event with a descriptive title, the year is included by default for WP:RECOGNIZABILITY reasons, and only excluded for especially well known and historical events. This is not, and the year provides needed context.

The sources call the school "Colégio Sigma".

However, this doesn't seem notable, I agree. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:22, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oppose year per WP:NOYEAR, the event can easily be described without the year and adding a year when it isn't needed for disambiguation nor an intrinsic part of the event like 2026 East Surrey Council election per WP:PRECISION and User:Born2cycle/Unnecessary disambiguation is not helpful and suggests there was another shooting in a different year.
