*[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 06:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC) I agree with the rationale, unless it's specifically names as such we shouldn't be attributing names to things like this, it's really a case of mountains out of molehills. (Though I will note that this a nicely padded article, when it comes down to it is about a sentence about the actual encounter)

Except in very rare cases articles should not be created for events or things that have no names.
