A recently created article but I believe it now covers the topic in sufficient depth to meet FL criteria. I can't see any significant gaps in the content.

Regarding the criteria:

  1. Prose: Written by two people and copy-edited by others, I believe it to be of a high enough standard.
  2. Lead: I think that the lead covers the topic well without going into too much detail.
  3. Comprehensiveness: The list is fixed at 136 entries and this covers them all.
  4. Structure: The table is sortable on six of the seven columns.
  5. Style:
    • It looks quite nice and the charts give a good representation of the information. Only list items with articles are linked.
    • Lots of appropriate images throughout the text, all of which should have decent captions. The images used within the list are the only free ones that I know to be available; an agreement with the ZZF to use their images would be nice but difficult to obtain.
  6. Stability: No edit wars; the content is not likely to change significantly.

Comments
Very interesting topic. Some observations...
  • First para says 136 deaths. Second says 98. I immediately wonder about the other 38 but have to get well into the main section to figure it out. So I suggest a short clause or sentence in the lead about what's up with the other 38.
  • I think event details does not need to be sortable, there's no standard schema to such a field.
  • Consider putting footnotes in event details rather than by the name or in a separate column. You may want to see what others think of this.
  • What exactly does "no intention" mean? Seems to mean different things, such as accident, wandering too close to the Wall, etc. Perhaps make this more specific to the incident.
  • Herbert Mende died SIX YEARS after being shot and the cause was being shot?
  • Refs are inconsistent. Some have access dates, some don't (refs 1 and 5 for example). All web refs should have access dates.
  • Ref 21 seems to be a book. Pages used should be listed.
