Comment (neutral). I don't think it fails GNG per Spanish-language coverage. There seems to be somewhat significant structural damage.[1] What are the notability requirements for earthquakes? —Мандичка^YO 😜 12:30, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The most likely category this fits in is WP:EVENT and WP:EVENTCRITERIA, which the article seems to meet. As stated before, the article does meet WP:GNG since there are plenty of at least Spanish sources that cover the earthquakes, as well as the damages produced.

Comment Per WP:EVENT coverage of the earthquake must be WP:LASTING. These articles all seem to be from the time of the earthquake - are there any sources showing lasting impact? FOARP (talk) 13:37, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The impact isn't even known, and this seems written from a perspective that occurs before the impact. Syndicater (talk) 20:43, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Whilst the event received substantial coverage at the time of the quakes, there is no evidence of WP:LASTING impact, and as such this fails WP:EVENT. FOARP (talk) 12:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, does not meet WP:EVENT, article appears to have been created within 24hours of the earthquake occurring, may have been a case of recentism, being made WP:TOOSOON, article has now been around long enough to show whether it is lasting - its not.

is it also telling that the Spanish WP has an article on the August 2018 Venezuela earthquakes but not this one, see here? Coolabahapple (talk) 16:00, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I created it thinking the earthquakes would be of similar significance as the August ones, but no. They were also less-covered due to year-end finance reports taking priority, though. Kingsif (talk) 23:45, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
