I'll start on this one today. Dawnseeker2000 20:57, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.

   a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   You might consider adding other sources for the death toll. The only existing take on the matter is from Jorge Talixa, a reporter at Público, a Portuguese newspaper. I'll step out on a limb and say that he's not likely an authoritative figure for earthquake death tolls. On top of that, J. Johnson (a highly knowledgeable and former WP:Earthquakes editor) once commented on the use of newspapers. I tend to fall back on this advice, even if we aren't necessarily using them for (as he mentioned) for seismological aspects. Utsu 2002 and the NGDC are both reporting just 30 deaths for the event.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:
