 * Strong keep, maybe rename. I found several sources on this disaster, but sometimes under a different name (Hunza-Pattan earthquake, Pattan earthquake). It seems like a significant event historically and from a seismology perspective:
 * "In 1974, Hunza-Pattan earthquake is another landmark devastating earthquake in the history of Pakistan"
 * 16-page field report on it: The Pattan (Pakistan) earthquake of 28 December 1974: field observations
 * Detailed tectonic analysis: Fault-plane solution and tectonic implications of the Pattan, Pakistan earthquake of December 28, 1974
 * There is a full UNESCO report that is frequently cited but I can't find it online: Ambraseys NN. The Pattan earthquake of 28 December 1974. (1975).
 * There are also citations to studies of this earthquake:

 * Keep per all above, enough already explained. Ngrewal1 (talk) 00:05, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep Very notable event. It surely needs better sources and expansion but that shouldn't be a reason why it should be deleted. CactusTaron (Nopen't) 15:38, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment from nominator It may well be a notable event, but I haven't been able to access or find many sources for it. If sources could be found I would be able to expand the article. If someone could find 2-3 easily accessible sources for it, it would be possible for me to expand it and cite it sufficiently. RealKnockout (talk) 23:10, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You can just use sci-hub with the DOI for the sources I provided (e.g. 10.1144/GSL.QJEG.1981.014.01.01). WP:LIBRARY may also be useful.Citing (talk) 03:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep. Easily meets WP:GNG when searching for sources on newspapers.com.  Plenty of worldwide coverage on an ongoing basis, not only about the initial event but the ongoing relief and rescue efforts afterward. RecycledPixels (talk) 04:58, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
