List of disasters by number of fatalities
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Multiple other articles already contain nearly identical content, i.e. List of accidents and disasters by death toll and List of natural disasters by death toll. This list is very much incomplete with about sixty percent of disasters listed being avalanches. There is also a very large range in the death tolls of the incidents listed, ranging from 4,000,000 to 11. Undescribed (talk) 23:14, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as a poor fork (dare I say a pro-avalanche POVFORK?) of List of accidents and disasters by death toll and List of natural disasters by death toll - which cover the same topic and are much more comprehensive and better maintained. I do not see anything worth merging (it seems everything here is there).Icewhiz (talk) 09:03, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this list is far from complete and has no organisation to the data that makes it useful. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 21:47, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- The two articles of which this is alleged to be a fork have separate lists by type. This one seeks to bring them all together, which could be useful, if done properly.  The problem with a couple of the biggest items is that the scale of the tragedy is unclear, so that it is not clear which is the worst.  I would like to see the high casualty numbers from both the other articles brought together, with a cut off of (say) 100 or 50, so that the list is of manageable size.
