This article has been assessed by the various WikiProjects as start (I bumped the article up from stub in August 2014 for WP:Earthquakes). The nominator has not made any improvements to the article and it isn't close to being ready for GA so I'm quick failing it.

What's happening here is that the nominator is a brand new editor with several hundred edits and about fifteen created articles. Each of these articles are no longer than several sentences, so the recommendation that I'm going to make is that the nominator not submit any further GA nominations until they have more experience at content creation under their belt. Expand what you've already started or find something else to work on. Shoot for getting five to ten articles up to B class before considering nominating anything for GA.

For clarity, this article has quite a bit of unnecessary content (this was pointed out on the talk page by 71.246.229.114 in September 2016). Also, the article is lacking basic information. There are a few paragraphs, but there is no real detail and it's obvious that not much effort was made to integrate all aspects. In other words, it's not a good article. There's essentially not much there except for the large tables. We need prose. At the moment the article stands at 3552 characters (578 words) "readable prose size". That's start class.
