[edit] 7.0 earthquake in Eureka

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. I did see something about this in the paper this morning, although its impact seems to have been brief. Nominator abstains from voting. — Gwalla | Talk 02:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is not Wikinews, the title is bad, and the writing is shaky. Best to start from scratch if at all. Denni☯ 02:15, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
• Save. Yes, the impact as an earthquake was brief. However it was a significant test of the tsunami detection capability in the Pacafic Ocean. Yes, the writing is skaky and the title is bad. However it should be kept while it is being rewritten and a good title is chosen.

Note: That statement by 24.19.45.139

• Delete: The title is impossible to seek or find. Wikipedia is not In the News. In the News is written as a separate entity and links to general topics. A mention can be added to tsunami that one occurred last night. Geogre 02:57, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see a firm foundation for an article here. --Xcali 03:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete earthquake with no casualties or property damage. -- Jonel | Speak 04:24, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• if judging as per 24.19.45.139, Merge with Tsunami warning system's "Shortcomings" sections as a "False Positive" example. Otherwise, as per Jonel, Delete. The Literate Engineer 07:15, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
