This article should be renamed. "Colonial Assassin" isn't really the name of the organization. Staying with this format, it should be the plural "Colonial Assassins", and actually in that case I think "Purge of the Colonial Assassins" sounds less awkward. Note that the official name of the branch is the "Colonial Brotherhood" also which is probably preferable for the title so "Colonial Brotherhood purge" or "Purge of the Colonial Brotherhood"? Latter sounds more formal but might be too wordy.

:The article title is fine. Since "Colonial Assassin" is a collective noun in this case, an 's' is not required at the end. Using the word "Brotherhood" would also be incorrect, since it's not technically a purge of brotherhoods, its a purge of this partiuclar brotherhood's members, and they are called Assassins. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' <small>([[User talk:Jasca Ducato|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jasca Ducato|contributions]])</small> 10:50, June 28, 2017 (UTC) | |||

So, are we to assume that this is the culmination (or final push, as it were) of what Shay started in Rogue? First Shay picks off the key Assassin figures, and then Haytham leads an all-out assault on the Homestead? --Crimson Knight Intercom 21:24, December 3, 2014 (UTC)
- Not that I've played Rogue yet (not allowed to buy it; something about a Christmas present), but that was the impression I got right from the promotional get-go. Yes, Shay's action started (or perhaps could be considered a part of) this Purge. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 19:36, December 4, 2014 (UTC)
- We should strike the year from the article's title, add the events of Rogue and encompass the decline of the Colonial Assassins shown in it into this. --Kainzorus Prime ⚜ Walkie-talkie 03:00, December 5, 2014 (UTC)
