 * 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) 09:58, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak keep This earthquake just about meets the proposed criteria for notability, it reached an intensity of VII and several scientific papers have been written about it (mainly in spanish, but that's irrelevant). Expand rather than delete. Mikenorton (talk) 10:55, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Diego Grez (talk) 15:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Not every earthquake is notable yes, but this one isn't one of those. This one is significant enough. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 15:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mikenorton above. Carrite (talk) 16:41, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak 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 6.2 to 6.5 or VII earthquake (depending on the scales used and sources), and there were no deaths. However, I have found several sources that show it has attracted particular scientific interest -- see, e.g. Pictures of the damage from this earthquake by a geologist from U. of Arizona.
