The result of the move request was: moved to Murder of Michael Reynolds (non-admin closure) NNADIGOODLUCK (Talk|Contribs) 11:50, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– No indication that the Irish policeman was known or referenced as "Michael J." The Roll of Honour and CRIME.IE descriptions give his name as Michael Joseph Reynolds, but subsequently refer to him as Michael Reynolds. If consensus skews towards Killing of Michael Joseph Reynolds, Murder of Michael Joseph Reynolds, Shooting of Michael Joseph Reynolds, Shooting of Michael Reynolds or Murder of Michael Reynolds, I would also support any of those alternatives. As for the actor, his is the sole Wikipedia main title header that bears the exact name form, Michael J. Reynolds, which was his stage name as depicted in on-screen credits. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Michael J. Reynolds per nom's analysis.

Support the proposed alternative Murder of Michael Reynolds. People were convicted of the crime, so 'murder' is more precise than either 'shooting' or 'killing', and still more so than 'death'. His middle name would be unnecessary detail in the title. Narky Blert (talk) 16:56, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
