2011 Hindu Kush earthquake

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:


 * Low intensity (V (Moderate))
 * No injuries, deaths, or significant damage
 * Lack of coverage from the scientific community

There are destructive events in the Hindu Kush area, and we have articles on them, but this is not one of them. This USGS entry for the event tells part of the story:


 * M5.6 - Hindu Kush region, Afghanistan – United States Geological Survey
