US bombing of Cambodia → Bombing of Cambodia – The proposed target name already redirects to this disambiguation page, which lists only two topics. We generally shouldn't have shorter ambiguous names redirecting to longer ones that are less ambiguous. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:39, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It's a dab page, so it can be expanded beyond US campaigns if necessary. Srnec (talk) 01:06, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose status quo is more precise, the argument that we can expand it if Cambodia gets bombed again is WP:Crystal ball. Despite this, bombing on its own is more concise and natural

It's a dab page, so precision is unnecessary. No crystal ball involved. Cambodia was bombed during WWII. See here and here. —Srnec (talk) 15:00, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the US was the only country to ever bomb Cambodia, that level of specificity does not need to be included in the title of the dab page, especially as it does not seem to be part of the WP:COMMONNAME of the event(s); my impression is that people usually refer to "the bombing of Cambodia", not "the US bombing of Cambodia", perhaps because it is already generally known that this phrase ordinarily refers to a bombing by the US. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and Srnec. There's no reason to suspect we'd currently need to have separate DABs for US bombings of Cambodia vs. any other bombings of Cambodia that may occur. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 18:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
