The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. The proposal is correct that it is important to consider WP:BLPCRIME when creating articles. In this case, it is worth noting that "hit-and-run" could be considered a more definite declaration that a criminal act occurred than the current title. See also Talk:2017 New York City truck attack#Requested move 20 February 2018. If there are remaining concerns, perhaps they should first be addressed through reexamining the article content, such as the appropriateness of the declaration that "The attack is part of a series of terrorist attacks in France since November 2015."

Levallois-Perret attack → Levallois-Perret hit-and-run – Since Hamou Benlatrèche has been formally charged with attempted murder but has not been convicted of that crime, I believe WP:BLPCRIME protections should be our first consideration here over whatever WP:COMMONNAME is. Regardless of MSM being biased and referring to this as an "attack" prior to a criminal conviction, we should operate on a higher standard of proof and abide by our BLP guidelines even when our sources do not. My suggested new name is based on the phrase "hit-and-run" being used instead of attack in some of our sources, which I believe is more neutral to use than 'attack'.
Just because many media sources move from HAR to saying "attack" doesn't mean we ought to do that prior to a criminal conviction. I would not object to this if the suspect is dead, but since the suspect is alive and unconvicted, BLP protection must extend to them and over-ride COMMONNAME policy. We must decide which is more important, and if that prioritizing is done consistently. ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:40, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
