1679 Sanhe-Pinggu earthquake

 * ... that although the 8.0Mw 1679 Sanhe-Pinggu earthquake devastated Qing Dynasty Beijing, another large earthquake along this fault is not expected for 6,500 years? Source: "As with other slow moving faults in this region, the recurrence interval of an earthquake of this size on the Xiadian fault is estimated on geological grounds to be around 6,500 years"

 * Comment: As nominator, I acknowledge the 7-day window has passed, but hoping for leniency as per Supplementary guideline D9: The "seven days old" limit should be strictly enforced only if there is a large backlog of hooks. Otherwise nominated article may still be approved if it were created or expanded after the oldest date listed in Template talk:Did you know#Older nominations.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Nine days late; I say we show mercy. If there were several issues with the article, I personally wouldn't have overlooked that fact but the quake was a significant natural event and the article is adequately sourced, as is the hook. Length and neutrality requirements are met, and the QPQ was completed.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:25, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
