I think that convenience sampling is much more intuitive than accidental sampling, because the sampling is not necessarily accidental. JoshBM16 (talk) 18:44, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It's a much more common term too (as confirmed by Google). Unfortunately although 'Convenience sampling' has always been a redirect, its [the edit history contains more than one line, so the move needs an administrator.
