Keep Earthquakes are geophysical events, so I do not see what not news has to do with it one way or another; their importance does not depend on newspapers in most cases. This had a magnitude of 7.5, which is fully acceptable as significant. DGG (

Keep A 7.5 quake 17km down would be considered major under the proposed guidelines, but even in the absence of those, this event went beyond
WP:NEWS and still gets regular mention in India
[1]. Although I support articles arranged by region as an alternative to giving articles for most events, there weren't many earthquakes as strong as this one in 2009. The 7.0-7.9 range quake happens less than 20 times a year, and many of those are deep focus quakes that don't qualify under the proposal.

Keep Earthquakes above 7.0 are automatically "worthy," in my estimation. Scholarly presentation, written to style.
