If we could get a change to this part it would be great Sharrdx (talk) 03:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I've tagged this article as its notability is tenuous. Individual events are not notable unless they have significant long-term coverage; per WP:SUSTAINED, Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability and simple news coverage is not sufficient.

Possible vandalism?

Hi, is this nonsense about "unlucky" and "lucky" in the lead relevant or is it just vandalism? I am not bold enough to edit it so, I am just raising awareness.

It’s an LTA IP who prolifically targets disaster related pages. Said IP should always be banned long term. Borgenland (talk) 01:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
