Renaming

I think that the article should be renamed to include the company name as in the case of the PEPCON disaster. After all, those injured and killed were concentrated to the company and not spread over the city (correct me if am wrong). My suggestion Falk corporation explosion. --rxnd ( t | | c ) 11:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Whilst, generally speaking, I would opose such a move, in this instance I am going to (albeit, a little reluctantly) agree since it puts the article into a better context, as you rightly say. Also, this is an encyclopaedic record, so we have to think of it in the terms of a historic event (even if it is tagged as a current event), meaning that in 5-10 years time someone may not immediatly be reminded simply by the present title about the subject, but the one suggested is more likely to jog people's memory, which is what a descriptive title should, by definition, do. However, I'd recommend leaving the move 'till the AfD is complete, just in case it screws it up in unforseen ways (but I wouldn't expect that anyway).
