Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Yes, because the article is relatively short, it stays on topic without distractions.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article reads as fairly neutral to me. There aren’t any persuasive claims being made.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Source 5 is listed as “failed verification”.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Although the article is a stub, each fact in the article is backed up by a source.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Much of the information comes from sources in the 1990s, however I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a big problem given that the disaster occurred in 1995

1817-1824 Cholera Pandemic
I feel this article is related closely to the history of science and the history of medical science in particular. It is the first cholera pandemic and is rated as C-class, showing room for improvement. I believe the sections themselves are divided well but could be expanded.

Added: The name Cholera had been used in previous centuries to describe illnesses involving nausea and vomiting. However, there is not evidence of "true Asiatic Cholera" prior to 1781.
