1934 Bihar earthquake → 1934 Nepal–India earthquake – The earthquake originated in Nepal and historically is of no lesser significance to Nepal than it is to India. The current title does not accurately reflect the appropriate scope of this article. Sources from the Indian perspective call it a Bihar earthquake or the great earthquake of 1934 and those from Nepal call it the great earthquake of 1934 (having no need to narrow it down to a particular region in the country). I am suggesting Nepal-India to keep the two sides of the dashes equal and because it originated in Nepal. But my intent is to have a proper discussion on how to fix the problem of the article title not reflecting its scope. And I reckon India-Nepal, Nepal-Bihar or Bihar-Nepal could be valid options too.
