Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of disasters


 * A lot of hard work, thats good, perhaps a little more is needed to make this list into something viable. What do you call a disaster?  Because I'll bet hard cash that someone else does not find your "disaster" to be one.  and just how many deaths equals a disaster?  25, 50, 100, 1,000?  Is the multi-car crash on the freeway that killed 7 people a disaster?  and if so why not list it?  Until such time as the author can get everyone to agree on what the conponents of a disaster are this list should be removed.  Repost it later if things get hammered out.  But as is this article is not only unmanagable due to several items that do not belong there,  it is also un-necessary.  A quick search will bring up the relevant articles and I'm sure they will have the date it occured on and the death toll,  which is about all the list provides.  Not only that but if the article is a good one, it would let the reader decide for themselves if what took place is a disaster or not.  It is a nice gesture to defend someone's "hard work" but I don't recall "hard work" being the only criteria for keeping an article. KWinYO 04:15, 9 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd like someone to define the word listcruft and please cite the dictionary or dictionary site that has it, in addition to its origin and when it became a word. I would like to have proof this is a real word with a single agreed upon definition and not some made up word that "everyone just knows what it means."  If that is the case I don't think we should use made up words as reasons to remove someone elses "hard work." Thank You for your co-operation. KWinYO 07:25, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
