2009 Andaman Islands earthquake

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Per WP:NOTNEWS, no deaths or causalities, just another routine news report. — Mike moral  ♪♫  21:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Earthquakes are geophysical events, so I do not see what not news has to do with it one way or another; their importance does not depend on newspapers in most cases. This had a magnitude of 7.5, which is fully acceptable as significant.  DGG ( talk ) 23:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A 7.5 quake 17km down would be considered major under the proposed guidelines, but even in the absence of those, this event went beyond WP:NEWS and still gets regular mention in India . Although I support articles arranged by region as an alternative to giving articles for most events, there weren't many earthquakes as strong as this one in 2009.  The 7.0-7.9 range quake happens less than 20 times a year, and many of those are deep focus quakes that don't qualify under the proposal.  Mandsford 01:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Earthquakes above 7.0 are automatically "worthy," in my estimation. Scholarly presentation, written to style. Carrite (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
