Its my understanding that the most common name for an event is the one used. Using a keyword search on google brings back 415,000 hits for "Night of Noah" while "1998 Townsville floods" brings back only 400. I think its clear the name should be changed to reflect how the event is commonly named. Wilson (talk) 15:18, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I don't consider that method reliable for determining the most commonly recognizable name for the title. There's nothing problematic with the current title. I don't really care, though, because I believe this article should not exist. If you really want to move it, I won't revert. FourNoddlers (talk) 02:46, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
