The exact disaster location is the hamlet of Rigopiano which is actually 8/9 kilometres far away from Farindola. Many other wikipedia are now translating this event in to their own language and this is causing a propagation of errors. The correct hotel name was : Hotel Rigopiano - Gran Sasso Resort. -- Nicola Romani ( talk) 14:25, 21 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Is the year 2017 really necessary? I do not think so, there were never avalanches before. -- Nicola Romani ( talk) 11:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Where do you want to remove 2017? Wykx ( talk) 17:25, 27 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Is it normal to list the names of all those who were killed, if they are not otherwise notable? Martinevans123 ( talk) 16:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC) reply

I would remove the list. Wykx ( talk) 17:25, 27 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Similarly with survivors. Martinevans123 ( talk) 17:57, 27 January 2017 (UTC) reply

@ Porotoazul and Jasper Deng: FWIW, I prefer Porotoazul's version. "Panicky natures"? Really? Y'all please stop reverting and seek consensus via discussion.-- Deep fried okra 11:35, 12 September 2019 (UTC) reply
