All data is from the World Health Organization, and is arguably inaccurate. Lots of complaints on the talk page. List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll – Wars and disasters need separating List of natural disasters by death toll – Types of disasters need separating List of accidents and disasters by death toll – this needs about 8 or so sub lists – it is toooo loong List of disasters in Great Britain and Ireland by death toll – World disaster lists need standardising in titles and style List of cemeteries in the United States – This article needs to be cleaned up and split into smaller lists by state. Deathbed phenomena – rated as Mid-importance but currently only Start-Class for quality Responses to death (currently a redirect) Grim reaper – Currently a redirect – should perhaps have its own article Death of Caylee Anthony – The case was huge and much of the article's narrative (e. g. the disappearance section, which I tried to fix) just takes what the family relayed as granted.
