Delete for failing Rule of 7. Earthquakes of this size in California are in no way notable. Carrite (talk) 00:09, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

size doesnt matter other factors can make earthquakes notable, this one was unusual because there was no after shocks, it also appears to be the first quake of any size on the Puente Hills Fault which was only discovered in 1999. That said a merge into the Puente Hills Fault article is more appropriate due the lack of any substancial impact beyind the event itself. Gnan garra 06:26, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

change of opinion ?Merge I have, on reflection, decided that this could probably be merged into the Puente Hills Fault Trex21 (talk) 01:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Puente Hills Fault appears to be the logical action rather than deleting outright. Gnan garra 06:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - see the inadvisability of using the Kalgoorlie earthquake as an analogy for any Afd

Comment - this is a red herring, the fact that I mentioned that earthquake on
Mike's talk page in my original request is because he put it up for AfD in the first place, thus he would be receptive to putting other earthquakes of lesser notability up for AfD. I recognize that the Kalgoorlie-Boulder earthquake had a lasting impact which is why I did not vote in its AfD (as it is pretty much a snow keep).--70.80.234.196 (talk) 10:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply
