Mount Barker earthquake, 2010

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Notability...We don't need an article for every earthquake, especially those that do not cause casualties and more especially if they attained only 3.8 on the Richter scale. &mdash; HXL's Roundtable  and  Record  23:09, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete in addition that it is really poorly written and not even according to Wikipedia standards, this is not an earthquake which either received mass media coverage, nor any casualties. I say, get rid of it. --Diego Grez (talk) 23:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Even if sourced, this is a clear case of NOTNEWS. The earthquake (if it happened) had no encyclopedic consequences whatsoever. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 01:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete not every earthquake merits its own article.and there is no long standing notability as per WP:EFFECT. LibStar (talk) 05:37, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom - not sufficiently notable to attract independent attention or coverage. 3.8 isn't terribly significant, and some parts of Australia record that sort of thing regularly anyway. Orderinchaos 04:08, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
