2011 Argentina earthquake

Non-notable earthquake. Was almost not felt in Santiago del Estero, as it occurred at a huge depth and in a desertical area with almost no inhabitants. No lasting significance. Diego Grez (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While 7.0 is a high magnitude, it was more than 350 miles below the surface. Unfortunately, there is not yet an article called Earthquakes in Argentina where news nuggets like this can be placed. We do have a Category:Earthquakes in Argentina. In 2010, great strides were made toward making encyclopedic articles about earthquakes in a particular nation or along a particular fault line, and getting away from the old habit of unrelated news items. Though someone suggested a "rule of 7", the true measure of notability is described in WP:EVENT. Mandsford 18:36, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
