  • Doesn't look like the category is going to be deleted; if so, is there still a reason to delete the redirect? Noel (talk) 00:39, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

On 16 January 2005, this redirect was nominated for deletion on VfD. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Man-made disaster for a record of the discussion.

This redirect (and category) has been listed for deletion twice, and both times it has failed. Please don't list it again. Noel (talk) 14:57, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't get it... the category is an orphan. What's going on here? Alphax ^τεχ 13:53, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Perspective

As I continue to explore the pages associated with this project, and ruminate on arguments I have already made, I keep coming back to a question of perspective on Cause vs. Effect. The list of disasters on this page are all about Effect - the loss that results from a disaster (many are also not disasters as defined by Emergency Management principles). However the title "man-made" itself references the cause. This, I believe, is the central conflict which plagues the thorough categorization of disasters.

I think this page would be more useful if its title were changed to make it less contradictory to the social custom of viewing disasters by the type of loss. I invite discussion on the subject while I research a better hierarchy. Parradoxx 21:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
