Camilo CatrillancaDeath of Camilo Catrillanca – Camilo Catrillanca is primarily known and notable for they circumstances of his death. His prior life and activism is as far as I am concerned totally unnotable for Wikipedia. Note that "Mapuche activism" is also a very vague category and that unless the activism has gained some notoriety should not be enought to give some kind of notability to a person.

  • Oppose. This article is about the person, not just his death. This sort of move has happened before and needs a rethink. We don't retitle the article on Albert Einstein as Work of Albert Einstein but that's the whole reason for his notability. The article is a good one and the topic is the person, not just the killing and its repercussions. And if we were to rename to Shooting of... or Killing of... and rescope, we are taking a POV that it was not murder, and may need to move again if a conviction were to occur.

If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
BarrelProof, I have no problem with "Killing of Camilo Catrillanca", and that is so far in my opinion the best brief description of what happened. That he was killed is beyond dubt. "Death of Camilo Catrillanca" may suggest as in the case of Death of Santiago Maldonado that he was not killed. Dentren | Talk 11:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, we've read the guideline. Consensus can change, and this RM may provide evidence that it has. Disagree that it's a poor analogy. It calls into question the arbitrariness of trying to determine who is likely to remain a low-profile individual. Andrewa (talk) 16:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
WP:BIO1E very clearly does not apply to Einstein. Einstein was highly prominent over a long period of time, published multiple (not just one) notable works in physics, and was even prominent on subjects outside of physics. Even his private life has been the subject of a very large amount of WP:IRS coverage. WP:BIO1E does apply to Catrillanca. If he wasn't killed, we would have never heard of him. — BarrelProof (talk) 17:31, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
All true! They are extreme cases, chosen for a thought experiment. But note the title I suggested... Work of Albert Einstein. It encompasses all of his notability. He was also a recreational sailor and a violinist and exceptionally forgetful and struggled to learn the tensor calculus to the point that Levi-Civita advised him to give up. And that's all interesting and encyclopedic. But if not for his work, none of it would appear in IRS, and none of it would belong in Wikipedia. And nor would Einstein. So it's a straw man. They have their uses. Andrewa (talk) 17:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Note: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Subjects notable only for one event does not apply here because the subject is not living. WP:BIO1E still do though. ~ Aselestecharge-paritytime 12:57, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Andrewa, when you write about "the arbitrariness of trying to determine who is likely to remain a low-profile individual.", do you have any clue that may hint Catrillanca is not going to remain a low-profile individual known only for his death? Because if not those who say he is not going to remain a low-profile individual are doing a leap of faith. There are plenty precedents of Mapuche people killed by Chilean police in the last 25 years that have not rose to particular prominence other than being known for their death. Why would Catrillanca be different? Dentren | Talk 00:54, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
So far it appears that I, BarrelProof and Roman Spinner are positive towards moving the article to Shooting of Camilo Catrillanca, and while Roman Spinner seem also content with keeping the name per Andrewa's argument. Yet I fail to see how Andrewa's argument would be valid. Indeed it seem to imply Catrillanca may in future be known for something else than his death, which I deem unlikely and a position that no RS, Chilean or international, so far seem to support.

Following up on that latest comment by Dentren, I have the impression that a consensus can be declared for Shooting of Camilo Catrillanca. This RM has been open for a long time, with two weeks since the last comment. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:46, 12 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
