I believe I checked the numbers at the French page some time ago, and based on the diversity of reports and their background, I personally believed that it was around 500. I do get that people can estimate a bit more or a bit less though.

So Wikipedia is what convinced you?

Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia based on sources. All claims include a source.
What do you want more?
Those articles being on a controversial topic, have been moderated and are pretty well done in my opinion.

I was convinced something happened way before this, but for the number of deaths, yes, that was my source.
