2009 Georgia earthquake

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable event. The USGS reports a magnitude of 5.9 with a maximum felt intensity of V "Rather Strong" on the Mercalli Intensity Scale. Some damage to buildings but no deaths. This is mainly a news story (Wikinews has an article) and there's nothing about this event that makes it worthy of inclusion here. Dawnseeker2000  21:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Minor earthquakes occur all the time and unless one were to be large or serious enough to distinguish itself, it's non-notable. Ducknish (talk) 00:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete but someone should offer to userfy this page to the creator (if still active) or someone else at the WP:EARTHQUAKE. Medium or rare (small for California but big for Georgia) earthquakes probably should be consolidated to a catchall page, and this is a good candidate for that.

 * I left a note here for the Earthquake people. I don't anticipate any objection on canvassing grounds because I don't think anyone would object, but just so my motives are clear, full disclosure. Shadowjams (talk) 02:01, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn - I've created List of earthquakes in Georgia (country). We can just redirect the article to the new list. Dawnseeker2000   03:15, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Nice work. –  SJ  +  21:25, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
