Shooting of Shinzo Abe → Assassination attempt of Shinzo Abe – This is more than just a shooting, it is an assassination attempt. Seeing how critically wounded Abe is (as of now), I feel that this would be the proper title for this article like the Attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.

Can we change the title to Shinzo Abe murder attempt?

Shooting doesn't seem to emphasis on the broader picture imo 103.58.74.215 (talk) 05:09, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

@103.58.74.215 - This has already been discussed, see #Move. CLYDE (TALK) @PING ME! 05:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
FFS, just WAIT! The guy is on life support ... WWGB (talk) 05:13, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Already been discussed. Attempted assassination would be appropriate if he survives… but based on how things sound, I think we’d just be changing the title again in short order. -05:30, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Fatally?

The lead says Abe was “fatally” shot but I can’t find any reputable sources confirming he died, and the article doesn’t cite any. That word should be removed, at least for now. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:AB44 (talk) 06:42, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

 Fixed. WWGB (talk) 06:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Sources pretty much say he's dead. It is just that in Japan you have to wait for the official coroner report to declare someone dead and it can take days between being in cardiac arrest and this happening.Fulmard (talk) 07:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
This is partially noted in the article. We still need to wait for an official confirmation of some sort. --Super Goku V (talk) 08:33, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Requested move 8 July 2022

Shooting of Shinzo Abe → Assassination of Shinzo Abe – Japanese media are now reporting that he has died from his injuries in hospital. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20220708/k10013707681000.html 2600:1700:7869:9DDF:64C7:A667:6D13:5945 (talk) 08:58, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

 Done, no need for further discussion. WWGB (talk) 09:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Given there's two opposes to the move, this discussion is fine to continue. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:18, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
We use "Shooting" when there's a shooting and the person is still alive. We us "Murder" when there's a conviction. So neither of those two are appropriate. Go ahead and start a discussion over Assassination vs Killing if anyone wants it moved to that instead. -- KTC (talk) 09:26, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Assassination vs Murder

Assassination of Shinzo Abe → Murder of Shinzo Abe

Shooting of Shinzo Abe was temporarily moved to Assassination of Shinzo Abe. But there is no consensus for final title. Sharouser (talk) 09:28, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

shooting

I heard that he was shot 2 times. also can someone please edit the overlapping citation TheEditorTW ^^ (talk) 03:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

I heard the same. It also appears as if the shotgun was homemade (https://twitter.com/Global_Mil_Info/status/1545249495398719488). Annoyingly, I can't go in and edit this as I lost the login info for my old account (yay). ActallyRetr0r0cket (talk) 04:06, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

I also found File:SANWA CITY SAIDAIJI.jpg and File:Sanwa City Saidaiji.jpg which also show where he was shot. (CC) Tbhotch™ 04:29, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Suspect's name

Personally, I have yet to hear anything about the suspect being charged. Hence why I have removed the name twice. Dunutubble and Iseult, you have both restore the person's name in edits. Just to make sure, was this an accidental restoration or an intentional one? If both were accidental, then I can remove the text again, but otherwise I will discuss it here. --Super Goku V (talk) 04:30, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

@Super Goku V: I've heard on NHK "suspectName has been arrested for attempted murder" several times; this is reflected verbatim in the text. The text does not say that he has been charged, which doesn't contradict your point. Iseult Δx parlez moi 04:34, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Contradictions are not the problem. I just think that naming the person without them being charged might run afoul of BLP policies. (If we are not, then everything is okay.) --Super Goku V (talk) 04:40, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
@Iseult: (Sorry, forgot to ping you back.) --Super Goku V (talk) 04:45, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
@Super Goku V: WP:BLPCRIME implies that it's fine barring heavy consideration; considering the wide coverage of the name, I don't think we're doing harm that isn't being done already; in any case, I think a good way to split the difference is to put in "on suspicion of" or note that he has not yet been charged. Iseult Δx parlez moi 04:47, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
@Iseult: Gotcha. You seem to understand the policy better than I do, so I will defer to you. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for your responses. --Super Goku V (talk) 04:50, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
@Super Goku V: no, no; the BLP concern is valid; thanks for pushing back. Iseult Δx parlez moi 04:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Age of Suspect

NHK updated their article saying the age of the perpetrator was 41 (formerly listed as 42), someone in edit notes noted that Japan counts age different than the US which is not true. Maybe it would be more appropriate to say "man in his 40s" until we have a solid number? Voulge (talk) 04:41, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

I think the editor is referring to East Asian age reckoning. But if non-Japanese sources say their age is 41, then that's probably correct. FunnyMath (talk) 04:50, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
East Asian age reckoning is only used in very rare cases in Japan, typically by the elderly. Very unlikely that NHK would use it, I'll make an edit when the situation settles. Voulge (talk) 04:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
True. In that case, whatever NHK says would be correct. FunnyMath (talk) 04:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Cardiac arrest terminology

"Abe is reported to be unconscious and has gone into cardiac arrest; this phrase is often used in Japan preceding a formal confirmation of death by a coroner." implies that "cardiac arrest" is often used preceding formal confirmation of death, but the linked source says that "cardiopulmonary arrest" is the phrase used preceding a formal confirmation of death by a coroner. Kansattica (talk) 06:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Actually, the term is 心肺停止. It can be translated either way into English as "cardiopulmonary arrest" or "cardiac arrest" (the former redirects to the latter), so it's not particularly a difference to split hairs over. In the Japanese media, 心肺停止 is the term used when death is likely but a coroner hasn't confirmed it yet, and the practice arose decades ago following complaints from the Japan Medical Association that the media was declaring individuals as dead before doctors were even able to assess them. Just as an example of how these norms work in the media, there was a case many years ago during a typhoon evacuation where an elderly woman fell to her death from a helicopter following a cable failure, and Japanese media reported it as 心肺停止. --benlisquareT•C•E 07:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
translation issue. 「心肺停止の状態だということです」 = he's said to have been a state of cardiopulmonary arrest EvergreenFir (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
  • NHK's English-language service keeps saying "no vital signs" - and they've said that in reference to at least 3 different time periods, hours apart. There must be written sources saying similar. Nfitz (talk) 08:34, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Well it's moot - it's been announced in Japan that he is dead. Nfitz (talk) 08:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Details of shooting

According to this, he was shot in the right side of his neck. Nythar (talk) 07:33, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Photos of scene and arrest

There’s photos of Abe on the ground and photos of the suspect being arrested and on the ground too and of the home made shot gun on the ground too. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 08:09, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Helicopter lift

Photos are also online of him being lifted out with a helicopter with a tarp near by could be a great addition. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 08:16, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Only if they are free use or we are able to fulfill the criteria for non-free usage, which I personally doubt at this time. --Super Goku V (talk) 08:30, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 9 July 2022

Please link the appearance of Sanshirō Matsuyama. He has a Wikidata entry (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11354707) that shows a Japanese Wikipedia article (ja:三四六), so he's probably notable. 49.198.51.54 (talk) 03:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC) 49.198.51.54 (talk) 03:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Withdrawing this request. When I looked at an auto-translated version of the Japanese article, I realised that it was likely to be a different individual with the same name. 49.198.51.54 (talk) 03:43, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and the Salvadoran people expresses his condolences on Twitter and expressed strong relations with Abe 72.181.216.175 (talk) 03:24, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

 Not done. What is remarkable about Bukele's comment that warrants inclusion? WWGB (talk) 04:33, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Was he shot once or twice?

I think it’s something we should keep an eye on. Video circulating on social media seems to show him unaffected by the first discharge and pausing and turning towards the attacker, then falling immediately after the second shot. I know he had multiple wounds, but if this really was a “shotgun” type weapon (reports are unclear), it may have fired multiple projectiles with each discharge. Not saying there is enough to change the description now, but the details of the incident may become more precise if the police make further statements. SS451 (talk) 04:31, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

NPR said earlier the first shot missed. The second one struck him. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:43, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Great Mercian (talk) 11:23, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

@Great Mercian are you referring to the WP:SEEALSO section? I did not add it, but I believe, those links are added as they are similar cases of killing of heads of state. Venkat TL (talk) 11:34, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Infobox criminal

@Funcrunch @Great Mercian I believe it is acceptable to use this infobox in this article. I am not sure why you would object. Please discuss and get consensus here. Venkat TL (talk) 18:34, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

I thought that an infobox should be used for a notable subject in their own article. But I don't feel strongly about it. Funcrunch (talk) 18:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
@Funcrunch the suspect has already gained international notoriety. I think it helps the reader, and dont see any problem with it. I have seen articles about US shooting incidents too having this infobox. Venkat TL (talk) 18:45, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Note that the "criminal" part of the infobox name isn't visible unless one goes to the edit interface hence is not a violation of WP:NPOV.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 20:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Infobox has been added and no one is objecting for it's addition anymore. Venkat TL (talk) 07:14, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Improvised shotgun?

Some editors are saying it was an improvised shotgun, should we update the article or is this non-credible? (https://twitter.com/Global_Mil_Info/status/1545249495398719488) Realgravity (talk) 05:16, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Here is CNN article that shows a much clearer image of the firearm used. The visible electrical tape, wooden board, and pipe implies that this is an improvised, or at the very least very modified, firearm. https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/shinzo-abe-japan-pm-collapses-nara-07-08-22-intl-hnk/h_21d32edb151f22cca92ab6a881a05e95:Thecloudking 6:20, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Japanese sources ([1]) are calling it 「手製」, meaning "homemade". EvergreenFir (talk) 06:37, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Handgun or shotgun ?

According to this, The Nara Prefectural Police revealed that it was not a shotgun but a handgun that was used to kill Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. BlackShadowG (talk) 10:20, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

@BlackShadowG It is being reported as a "home made gun" that "resembled a shot gun". Venkat TL (talk) 10:40, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
@BlackShadowG: I was under the impression that it was a shotgun, but I did find sources for the pistol report. I guess that means we will need to remove the shotgun portion and add a note. Thank you for mentioning this. --Super Goku V (talk) 10:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 Done Finally got the footnotes to work with references and in multiple locations. --Super Goku V (talk) 11:25, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

By the look of it it's essentially two electrically- detonated pipe bombs, except that one end is left open and plugged with some sort of a projectile mass, likely nuts or cut nails or some such. You can see the battery block and wires below. It has more in common with a matchlock and a suicide vest than with any firearm. --Sefus2331 (talk) 11:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Notwithstanding the possibility that it was electrically fired, it clearly is an improvised firearm, and visually it does resemble a sawn-off shotgun more than anything else. I think we should be wary of using the term "pistol," as that implies something that it clearly isn't. It also can't be described as being made of "pipe bombs," because it was clearly designed to fire projectiles, not explode. Nick Cooper (talk) 12:47, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Just a note that all sources say "homemade" or 「手製（てせい）」, not "improvised". EvergreenFir (talk) 15:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
It functionally means the same thing, but "improvised" is less potentially confusing. We don't yet know where the assailant actually made the weapon. Nick Cooper (talk) 18:06, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Why Ireland is added to the reactions but geographically relevant nations are not added?

Doesnt it make more sense that geographically relevant nations such as Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia are added instead of Ireland. If the argument is that they are not relevant, Shouldnt we add nations that the very least are a member of the G20? CrystallizedSyrup (talk) 01:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

@CrystallizedSyrup, relevance is subjective. If you judge names based on perceived importance (that will vary from person to person) and include their condolence regardless of what the content of that reaction is. In my opinion this is not a good criteria of pruning and will open floodgates of disputes. Currently all the countries who sent usual platitudes, are covered in the opening statement that says "numerous countries sent condolences", If the countries announced national mourning, that is included, if the condolence includes remarkable work, they have been included. Basically is the comment is remarkable for the reader, they have been included. If any user believes a country with remarkable statement and action has been left out, they are free to start a new discussion thread below and make consensus to get that condolence added. As Zaathras noted above, "200 lines of "Leader X of Country Y expresses condolences does not seem very encyclopedic", so we should avoid such situation. Venkat TL (talk) 09:21, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Proposal to add South Korea's reaction

  • Yoon Suk-yeol, President of South Korea, offered his condolences to Abe's wife, Akie Abe.[1] He sent his "condolences to the bereaved families and Japanese people" who have "lost the longest-serving prime minister and respected politician in Japan's constitutional history." He condemned the shooting as "an unforgivable act of crime". [2] The People Power Party and the Democratic Party also gave statements, condemning the act as "terrorism".[1]

South Korea is a key neighbor to Japan, and also it seems pretty unique that he sent his condolences to Abe's wife. It also seems reactions of political parties aren't dealth in the article so seems like it would be interesting to add Takipoint123 (talk) 10:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Proposal to add the Chinese internet's reaction

I'm thinking of reinstating the unofficial reactions from Chinese media, which is very mixed. The section got removed here by Heune, saying there's no correlation with adding public opinions. I think there's enough coverage on this, according to Google News, to have due weight, worthy of inclusion.[1][2][3][4][5]

"Unofficial reactions were mixed, as several Chinese netizens took to criticize Abe on social media, including some describing his injuries as "a comfort to the souls of people who had died" in the Second Sino-Japanese War.[6]"

Typo in Assassination of Shinzo Abe#International:

Jacinda Ardern, prime minister of New Zealand, recognized Abe as a "a statesman, someone who helped usher through complex negotiations like the CPTPP".

It would make sense to remove an extra "a". 2600:1700:B8F0:EE0:F9CE:3F4D:EC69:519A (talk) 21:46, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
