[edit] Notability

This article isn't notible enough to be in an encyclopedia and it only has 1 reference so it lacks verifiability.--Langloisrg (talk) 21:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

An earthquake with a death-toll of 110,000 sounds pretty notable to me. And the USGS is pretty reliable as sources for earthquakes go. DuncanHill (talk) 12:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
