Proposed deletion of 1996 Duvall earthquake


The article 1996 Duvall earthquake has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails multiple aspects of WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:


 * This was a "felt" event only
 * Several injuries, but no deaths, or significant damage
 * The papers do indicate an interest from the scientific community, but they are independent of our requirements for an encyclopedic entry

This USGS entry for the event tells part of the story:


 * M 5.4 - Puget Sound region, Washington – United States Geological Survey

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
