List of anthropogenic disasters by death toll

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This whole article is one long mess, which if you look at the talk page has been very contentious for years. It's heavily biased in many ways and doesn't appear to have any clear rules regarding what is actually included. It describes itself as a list of events with a "measurable drop in human population" yet also contains many events with as few as 40 deaths, and repeats itself at multiple points, such as listing "Various Fascist/Marxist leaders" as distinct events along with each major leader as a unique event. All in all this article is unnecessary, as it contains nothing that is not duplicated on other better articles such as List of wars by death toll. I fully believe WP:TNT applies here.

 * Delete per nom. It is entirely WP:SYNTH, and redundant to such lists as List of wars by death toll that provide more detail than you can get from two numbers and their geometric mean (which is not properly justified by what I can acess from Ref. ). The list also improperly adds figures with varying precision as if they were exact. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 20:09, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Agree with previous justification. Figures are arbitrary and calculations are via unvalidated means for the presentation of scholarly data. "Measurable drop" is vague. Any drop is measurable. Greyspeir (talk) 16:49, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * If this AfD closes as delete, can the talk page and its subpages be preserved at this AfD's talk page? –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 04:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete a huge mess indeed. Wikipedia is not a directory. Vorann Gencov (talk) 12:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep but Clean up. This article is necessary to prove the point, what toxic species mankind is. Category with environmental casualties should be added. RobiH (talk) 08:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia isn't here to "prove a point", certainly not a biased one such as that. The article isn't notable as a concept in itself and is purely a copy of parts of better existing articles. CoconutOctopus   talk  09:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Draftify This article can be made into something sensible, but it needs a cleanup before it's in mainspace. Dege31 (talk) 18:46, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
