2019 Pleasant Hill, California earthquake

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor earthquake with no impact or lasting effect, fails WP:EVENT to quote "A minor earthquake or storm with little or no impact on human populations is probably not notable", insufficiently notable to be included in the list of earthquakes in California, let alone as a standalone article.

 * Delete: not notable per nom. Didn't even scare my cat enough to hide under the bed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: 68,000 people reported a 4.5 earthquake in 24 hours. That amount of people is rare to see when reporting an earthquake.  Normally in California, under 10,000 reports is normal. {Here is a 4.5 earthquake that happened yesterday in California.  Only 4.3k reports in 24 hours. (Earthquake.gov)}  It was also felt in many cities.  Elijahandskip (talk) 21:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete here and write news story on Wikinews as a replacement. Wikiproject Earthquakes's intention is not to create an earthquake catalog. The institutions do that much better than us. We create readable articles on significant events. Please see WP:EVENT. Dawnseeker2000  00:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see how a minor earthquake that did not cause any casualities or property damage can meet WP:NEVENT. According to the user reports, it lasted just seconds. SD0001 (talk) 13:25, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete As a Californian, by our standards of earthquakes (we have a lot of them here), I remember this one as a minor earthquake I slept through (I live just a few blocks from the epicenter,) with no property damage or fatalities. Anyways, it does not meet WP:EVENT. RedRiver660 (talk) 18:18, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
