Per WP:NOTNEWS. No evidence of notability. — Mike moral  ♪♫  03:15, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose. WP:NOTNEWS not appliable in this case. Well, when you try to delete an article on this basis you should look for news in the languages of regions that the article concerns. You don't expect it to be on the front page of NY Times.
 * News reports:
 * - Venezuelan radio
 * - Argentine newspaper from Santa Cruz Province
 * - El Mercurio de Antofagasta newspaper

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, although a merge to Shackleton Fracture Zone would be a fine alternative to keep this info preserved somewhere, though not its own separate article. Understandably, earthquakes at sea make more news now than they did before December 26, 2004, but in the absence of the tsunami warning system being triggered (which was a byproduct of the 2010 Chile earthquake, very few go into the books. Although I appreciate that Chiton looked for sources, these are all news stories from 17 Enero 2010, the day of the quake. Mandsford 19:07, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Delete or Merge to Shackleton Fracture Zone. No enduring notability, at least for its own article. RapidR (talk) 21:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Delete not enough references to write a verifiable article, notability not established. Aditya Ex Machina 08:23, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
