 * Keep I am against the nomination of the deletion. I would like to know what's the reason, and what's the ideal criteria for a valid earthquake entry for user EucBerar. Qrfqr (talk) 09:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep True, but this one is on the basis of deaths, magnitude, intensity and coverage in scientific literature. Again expand rather than delete. Mikenorton (talk) 10:57, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Diego Grez (talk) 15:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep There is enough coverage, not non-notable. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 15:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not every content challenge is worthy. This rationale is dumb, but no different than the argument being used by the nominator here. Carrite (talk) 16:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per this proposed guideline, which the consensus seems to show is reasonable, and for which I happen to agree. In this case, it was a 7+ earthquake, there were 15 deaths, historic buildings were destroyed across Oaxaca, and the state was declared a disaster area.  It was also an "inslab earthquake" - which must be unusual for that fault area. The article has seven reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 17:21, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
