Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance?

  I’m more curious about the Wikipedia editor’s debating whether or not to change it from “shooting of [name]” to “assassination of [name]”, as in the Lexicology aspect, not the Criminology aspect.
