Detroit Beach Earthquake 2020

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable, insignificant geological event; does not pass any guidelines of Notability_(earthquakes). Only sources are "mere routine news reporting of the event" that had no lasting impact. —Notorious4life (talk) 22:46, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Draftify {Creator} I 100% moved this too quick from a draft to an article. I feel like with work, this can become enough for an article. I agree it is small, but it is rare for earthquakes in the Detroit area and even though it was small, thousands reported feeling it. So my vote is Draftify as I moved it to an article too quickly.

 * Delete. The relevant notability guideline here is WP:NEVENTS, and I'm not convinced that this earthquake satisfies that guideline. All that happened was some shaking, and according to local news, No injuries or major damages have been reported. For this reason, this doesn't seem to pass WP:LASTING—it doesn't seem to have lasting significance. If the earthquake had caused significant damage or led to nontrivial changes in Detroit's earthquake preparedness, it might be a different story, but it doesn't appear to be the case. I'm disinclined to draftify because fundamentally the issue is lack of notability, and no amount of editing can overcome that issue, unfortunately. Mz7 (talk) 07:20, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete While in principle I'd be happy to see this draftified to give the creating editor a chance to develop it further, given the apparently non-notable nature of the event, I can't quite see how it could be made notable? For that reason, even merging into the main Detroit Beach, Michigan article doesn't seem justified. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:35, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Coverage doesn't show this was a notable event or was WP:LASTING. It happened, no injuries or damage, no impact other than people mentioning it for a short time.  // Timothy ::  talk  14:12, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
