2010 Pyrenees earthquake

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable minor earthquake which only caused a small amount of shaking for a few seconds. Fails WP:EVENT. Justmeagain83 (talk) 23:13, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. It would seem to me that ever since the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the slightest tremor generates a Wikipedia article regardless of impact. Of course, some earthquakes are notable even with only minor damage (see for example 1988 Saguenay earthquake), but then there are those that are forgotten merely a week after the event. This one seems to fit into that category. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:09, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The Pyrenees is no stranger to earthquakes of this size, and there's nothing overly special about this particular one. RapidR (talk) 17:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. I remember the 1988 Saguenay earthquake, and it actually had a foreshock of the magnitude of the earthquake under AfD. The foreshock doesn't have its own article.--137.122.49.102 (talk) 20:17, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The infobox was probably the worst thing that ever happened for the earthquake project, because it's too easy to start an article without worrying about things like notability. I think Blanchard is right on the money on this one-- after the Haiti quake, there's been a race to be the first person to create an article about any reported tremor afterward.  Unfortunately, the misguided attempt to fill up the Template: Earthquakes in 2010 template means that people looking for the historic February 27 earthquake in Chile can't pick it out from (I'm not making this up) ten other articles about lesser tremors in Chile so far this year.
