Shouldn't the page name be only 'Lagos pipeline explosion' without 2006 extension, because we generally don't keep year in the page name by the event. DS 18:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, we usually do, in fact. —Nightstallion (?) 21:18, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As pointed out by others on WP:ITN/C, the current page name may refer to this other similar incident in May, 2006. Should both explosions be discussed in this article (a merge?) or should there be two pages with less ambiguous titles ? --PFHLai 03:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Generally two seperate incidents of this magnitude deserve seperate articles. To disambiguate the two articles, I propose renaming this page to 2006 Abule Egba pipeline explosion. Blood red sandman 15:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Except that is a duplication of this page, and mergeing is required. Blood red sandman 15:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The merge and move are done. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 20:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

It might be worth mentioning in this article that the event in May, 2006 happened under very similar circumstances and in the same region.--Janbart 10:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
