Sandhurst Road School DisasterBombing of Sandhurst Road School – A disaster is defined as a sudden accident or natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life. This tragedy was caused by the intentional dropping of a bomb, it was not an "Act of God". 86.182.42.36 (talk) 13:40, 17 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Move Good point, I very strongly agree. Think it would be better to include the context e.g. Wartime bombing of Sandhurst Road School. En passant, the Bath School disaster is even more inappropriate as clearly the kids were targeted. It may be that the event is so old, that's what people are looking for.

I want to clarify that this wasn't a terrorist act. JRPG (talk) 16:36, 19 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Doesn't need clarification. Article titles don't need detailed explanation. They just need unambiguous and accurate titles. Unless there was a also a terrorist bombing of a Sandhurst Road School there's no need for further expansion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:54, 20 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nom. Indeed, a disaster is natural. This was not. No need to add "wartime". -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:15, 19 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
