Critique on Wikipedia Article: "Fan Death"

This article did a very good job in staying unbiased. The author's opinions regarding the topic were unincorporated and instead, a neutral viewpoint was used to discuss the topic of matter- the author simply stated the facts. Additionally, for every side of a statement that the author mentions, the author makes sure to mention the other side of that idea as well (by using transition words such as "however"). Some noteworthy qualities of this Wikipedia article were the citations, links of certain key words (to other Wikipedia articles), and the referral to different a concept of "Fan Death"- the electro band- which gives readers interested in that topic a better place to search for their information needed. Overall, it is evident that the author of this article did a lot of research on the topic of "Fan Death", as there are numerous (around 14) credible sources ranging from newspaper articles all the way to scientific guidebooks. The author also covers a wide range of topics pertaining to the subject of matter ('origins, proposed causes, and media coverage'). Some of the issues with this Wikipedia article as stated in the Wiki-talk page revolved around the fact that the author had some mis-allocated, missing, and "un"- credible citations/sources. While there was one comment, commenting on the fact that this article did not keep a neutral viewpoint due to the fact that "Fan Death" is not 100% true, I would have to disagree with this opinion- as the author had mentioned that this concept is merely a superstition. So overall, this Wikipedia article did a well rounded job of giving a good introduction to the given topic of "Fan death".
