[edit] Southeastern U.S. earthquakes of 2003

Southeastern U.S. earthquakes of 2003 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable topic (the two earthquakes that occurred in 2003 in the southeastern United States are unrelated), not useful as a disambig page since the earthquakes can be directly linked, and no article uses it as such (no links to this article for disambig purposes). TheslB (talk) 01:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Both articles were originally on one page, and it was split into two, with the result that the history is at the original title. --Snigbrook (talk) 00:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Would there be a way to integrate the history into one of the other articles? Edits on the article prior to 01:35, 10 May 2006 could be prefixed to 2003 Virginia earthquake's original version without chronology problems, if technically feasible. TheslB (talk) 01:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
That's probably what should have been done, as the page is not useful as a disambiguation page (because the earthquakes are unrelated). --Snigbrook (talk) 12:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Davewild (talk) 09:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No article space links here except alternate spelling redirects. If you're worried about history then randomly convert to redirect, noting at talk pages. Potatoswatter (talk) 12:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
    Redirected to List of earthquakes in the United States. Any objections? If not, I will go ahead and note at the two earthquakes' talk pages. TheslB (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
