List of earthquakes by death toll in 1901-1910[edit]

This is not necessary. We just went through this with another one-off list. I find that the timing on this is nothing short of incredible. The article listed below was deleted very recently (09:32, 10 October 2015‎):

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of earthquakes in the 2010s by death toll - result: deleted

Anyway, these types of articles are redundant as we have lists for individual years. These lists include some details on deaths and they'll do just fine; we don't need list articles dedicated to the topic. I also find that the topic is a little less than encyclopedic.

Delete I can understand wanting to see this information on a single page, but it seems to me that this is something we should try to solve via WikiData -- different views of the same information. Making them into articles doesn't make sense because it means that edits need to be done in more than one place and the articles are very likely to get out of sync.

Delete and be vigilant for similar incarnations. In addition to the redundancy already mentioned, this seems like stats for the sake of stats (WP:NOTSTATSBOOK), not an encyclopedic list. If people want to mine and recombine the data in Lists of earthquakes for their own private analyses or reports, let them do that on their own spreadsheets; it is not the place of Wikipedia to host arbitrary collections of data for the event that some geology student might find it convenient. --Animalparty!
