I originally created this article back in June, thinking it may turn out to be a notable event. However this was not the case. No damage, casualties or anything particularly out of the ordinary. Justmeagain83 (talk) 09:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a notable event, no significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. This could almost be deleted A7 since the only real contributor to the article is the nominator. One editor added a single reference but no text and other editors only tagged, corrected spelling or categorized the article. ~~ GB fan ~~ 09:39, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note Why not blank the page and tag db-self? You appear to be the only author to contribute any significant material to the article. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 09:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as Wikipedia is not the news. There is no evidence of lasting impact. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 10:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable earthquake, like most earthquakes that happen everyday. Also, it could be speedied as G7 as author seems to be requesting deletion. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:18, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails the informal "Rule of 7," to which I subscribe. Please stop creating articles on earthquaks with a magnitude of less than 7.0 unless they squish lots of people or break lots of shit. Carrite (talk) 15:42, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
