Draft:Disasters in Singapore
Hello, Korea IP user. Thank you for trying to help with the aforementioned draft page. Though I take it that your edits are born out of good intentions, I will be reverting them, as it seems you have misunderstood the premise and scope of the page. I've addressed this below, with reference also to points that you have mentioned in your edit summaries.

When completed, this draft is intended to be a stand-alone list and not an article page. Therefore the list is the primary content (see: Disasters in the United Kingdom), whereas the prose is simply supplementary material that provides more background context (for instance see further analysis included in List of Russian generals killed during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine).

You have misread the list critieria. Events in the list only need to meet one or more of the following criteria and not all of the criteria.

These criteria are taken from the open access academic paper in IJDRS which is also the original motivation for this list page — although I should note that each list entry is also being separately verified and supplemented with additional stats from other sources.

The critera are intended to capture the totality of:
 * 1) events that were captured in global databases
 * 2) * these have poor coverage
 * 3) events not in global databases, but are eligible for inclusion
 * 4) * because databases failed to capture all eligible events, leading to record omissions
 * 5) other events not included above, but locally notable enough that they have been included in "disaster lists" published by historians, other academics, or reputable local press outlets.
 * 6) * this is what lasting impression in collective memory refers to — it is well-defined and not merely some vague phrase.

Notice that these criteria are built upon established academic basis in disaster management, history, etc. The criteria are well-defined, unambiguous, and objective; inclusion of an event in the list will have to be supported by reliable sources — an individual incident or accident cannot be added simply because it had some news coverage.

Because Singapore is so small and has so few disasters to begin with, we can use the above criteria to build a (nearly) comprehensive list that still remains at a manageable size, without having to impose arbitrary cutoff limits (e.g. "worst 50 by death toll") or otherwise trying to define some notion of what constitutes a "major disaster".

I don't think this concern is well-founded. This list is expected to top out at less than 50 entries when I finish and submit for AFC. This is comparable to Disasters in Thailand and Disasters in Indonesia, and much shorter than Disasters in the United Kingdom.

It has been listed as such in two separate disaster compilations and qualifies as something that is considered a "disaster" in the local consciousness.

Hope that clarifies. If you have any further questions, feel free to raise them here or on the talk page.

Thanks, — 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 12:52, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
