If 254 people killed is an "incident", how many deaths need be involved before it is labelled a "disaster"? Wanderer57 ( talk) 15:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC) reply

PS I see that "disaster" is used in the article. I was referring to "incident" as used in the lead. Wanderer57 ( talk) 15:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Changing to "disaster". Spencer ^{T♦ C} 00:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Why is there a 2008 in the title if Shanxi mudslide redirects here anyway? PiracyFundsTerrorism ( talk) 21:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC) reply

There was another major landslide in Shanxi a few months ago. Perhaps a disambiguation page would be in order. Simonm223 ( talk) 14:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC) reply
