In the introduction of the article, it reads that "throughout the Caribbean, at least 5 people have been killed as a result of Matthew." However, the only true reference relating to direct casualties caused by the storm can be found under the Impact paragraph, stating that Matthew killed at least 7 people in Venezuela. I'm not sure if we can consider the coastlines to be a part of the Caribbean, but there is no viable source or citation provided that confirms the deaths of at least those 5 people (throughout the Caribbean) regardless. Now then, where did the aforementioned Caribbean death toll magically appear from, and where were those people killed? — Hylian Auree (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm not so sure those deaths in Haiti were related to Matthew. Sure, one news agency says it was, but there are plenty that don't mention the connection with Matthew. Think of it - on Friday afternoon, Matthew was several hundred miles away from the country and was about to move ashore. It could've been the storm east of Matthew (that some folks are saying will become the dominant storm in a few days). Just check out the wording from CNN.
"A short but severe storm with high winds and heavy rain has killed at least five people in Haiti's earthquake-devastated capital, the United Nations said. No warnings were issued because the storm Friday afternoon was not predicted."
I'd rather err on the side of caution and wait until a more reliable source confirms the deaths in Haiti were indeed from Matthew, than inflate Matthew's death toll to more than it really is. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:35, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ok...this is getting confusing. I've been finding extreme variations in the human toll from the Oaxaca landslide. Currently, they range from zero to 2,000; I'm clueless as to what's going on there. Can anyone shed some light on this? Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:34, 29 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Seeing as the landslide didn't cause the number of deaths they thought it did, it was caused by Matthew, and that the landslide article is rather short, I propose that article be merged here. Hurricanehink (talk) 05:17, 13 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
