Sources say 51 deaths
According to reliable sources the death toll is 51, not 53. Those two deaths in Florida isn't counted in the reliable sources. Felicia (talk) 16:23, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Which source and when were they published? The best thing to do is note the discrepancy in the text (i.e. according to source X, the death toll was 53, but source Y does not include the Florida deaths, so reports only 51). There isn't only one "right" number here, we should report not only what the death toll was, but how it was calculated. The text already clearly makes it understandable how the 53 number was arrived at. If you have a different source that uses a different methodology, feel free to add it alongside the existing reliable sources using different methodologies. --Jayron32 16:51, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
