1992 Big Bear earthquake
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is a news item, which lacks ongoing notability. Furthermore there was no damage or casualties. Armbrust Talk to me  Contribs  16:25, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reasons articulated in detail in the first AfD, especially by User:Davemcarlson and User:Oakshade, clearly demonstrating that WP:NOTNEWS does not apply and explaining why this earthquake is better covered at its own page. Also, it is not correct that this earthquake caused no damages; USGS characterizes it as having caused "substantial damage and landslides in the Big Bear Lake and Big Bear City areas." --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Very significant coverage, much of it even years after the earthquake, therefore WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply.  WP:NOTNEWS, as it states, is meant to discourage articles from "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities."  A 7.3 earthquake is not a routine event.   There is no "must be deaths" requirements for article topics. --Oakshade (talk) 19:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Article is notable and covers a significant even. Judging from review of article and review of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTNEWS is not applicable. 08OceanBeach S.D.  02:00, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
