It looks like Nyttend has just done the merge. Thank you. Two stubs in this case make a start class article, I think, so I have re-rated it. Don Lammers (talk) 16:48, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Muskingum County Animal Farm → 2011 Zanesville, Ohio animal escape – The farm is only notable for the animal escape, so the title should follow the conventions at WP:NCEVENTS. The proposed title is also more easily recognizable, since the event is usually referred to as the "Zanesville animal escape"  or similar  in the media.

Note that roughly half of the content in the current article was merged from an article titled 2011 Ohio exotic animal release, an article that was obviously about the event rather than the farm itself. I would also consider that title to be an improvement over the current one, but I think "2011 Zanesville, Ohio animal escape" is more in line with the WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCEVENTS.

Nit pick about the title
Was this really an "escape"? The animals were "freed" / set loose, by their owner. They didn't really "escape"? No? I can't think of a great title at the moment ... but, it seems to me, they were "released", rather than they "escaped". Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:45, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


 * A lot of RS's that I see call it something like "animal massacre".      Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
