Please add the following paragraph underneath the subheading 'Fiction inspired by the duo'. Feel free to make changes or reject altogether:
The 1999 teen black comedy crime film "Duck! The Carbine High Massacre" was released just six months after Columbine. It is loosely based on the events of the massacre with two trench-coat wearing neo-nazi male protagonists Derwin and Derick, (played by William Hellfire and Joey Smack, respectively) who wish to kill students and susequently themselves after Derwin (who is supposedly meant to represent Eric Harris) is assaulted by jocks.

Should this entry redirect to the Columbine High School massacre entry (or vice versa) regarding 'motive' and 'rationale' sections?[edit]
The entry for Eric Harris and Dylan Kleboldand the entry for the Columbine High School massacre both include sections that theorize the motive or rationale behind the massacre. Both entries overlap in their motive and rationale sections while also deviating and covering different information in different orders and at different weights.
It seems like a good way to handle this would be to choose which entry should be the source of truth for documenting theories about motive and rational. In my opinion, the Columbine High School massacre entry is the right place for lengthy documentation of theories about motives—motive is specifically about the massacre, not necessarily a biographical fact, and much of it is speculative (or debunked).
But I don't know about the standards for writing about murders / acts of terrorism vs. their perpetrators on Wikipedia, so I don't want to make any edits before putting this question to the talk page. Is there a way this is handled in other examples? TypingMadeSimple (talk) 00:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
