Why is the article not just called "Jacob Barnet"? This would seem more normal on WP. BigJim707 (talk) 16:47, 4 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Because it's about the incident, not the individual (who is not otherwise notable). See WP:ONEEVENT. Bencherlite ^Talk 18:19, 4 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. It still seems a bit odd, especially about something that happened so long ago. BigJim707 (talk) 06:25, 7 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
