2012 Izu Islands earthquake

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a rationale from another AfD

It's the usual thing that happens with earthquake articles. It happens, the USGS' earthquake monitoring program reports it, the press repeats it and says "no casualties or damage were reported;" think of it like this – earthquakes happen every day, whether we notice them or not. Even if we do notice them, as I said, there's no damage, and that's the case here. This article basically said "an earthquake occurred in XXX at XXX, and it was felt". Even if it was felt strongly, there was no lasting impact, and from a future perspective, this earthquake wouldn't be notable. WP:GNG. hf24 20:53, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. We see no casualties/damage being reported. Earthquakes and Tsunamis are very common in Japan. Less notability and no need to have a separate article. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  01:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as there was no significant coverage (outside "there was an earthquake") and no significant impact from the quake. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 19:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - At 350 km depth, this earthquake would not have caused significant damage - non-notable. Mikenorton (talk) 22:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just another unremarkable earthquake with no lasting effects deserving mention here. --DAJF (talk) 00:54, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
