 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Being the first to discover a new earthquake is the Wikipedia equivalent of an astronomer being the first to discover a new star or asteroid, whereby one gets the credit and the naming rights.  As with an airline incident, there's a template that can be filled out with all the info from the appropriate geological service.  However, the measure of a quake on Wikipedia is whether it has historical notability, and on what I'd call the "Wikter scale", this one doesn't register. Mandsford (talk) 12:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
