2010 Oklahoma earthquake

This article is written like a news event like one would find on Wikinews or in the New York Times. WP:NOTNEWS clearly applies to this article. Furthermore, there are no reports of damage to the area nor any injuries. Mike moral  ♪♫  22:54, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mike. Griffinofwales (talk) 22:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't seem to be anything particularly noteworthy about a 4.0 quake that didn't cause any damage or disruption, or even much attention from reliable sources. Tempodivalse   [talk]  22:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:EVENT. There was very limited coverage of this quake even in Oklahoma.  This article noted that it was the strongest Oklahoma earthquake in 12 years, but it doesn't seem to have had any in-depth news coverage or lasting impact, even locally.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable earthquake, and part of what looks like a trend to create new articles as soon as an event appears on the USGS website . I'm not against such events being mentioned in a general article about quakes in Oklahoma, Texas, etc. or the region they are in, but there are more efficient ways besides creating a new page every time the earth shakes.

 * Delete I'm totally for deleting this. Okiebradshaw (talk) 18:25, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Half the time you cant even feel the earthquakes that happen here in Oklahoma and it not like anybody is hurt or killed because of them.-- Steam   Iron  19:19, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
