Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2007 Alum Rock earthquake
I have been avoiding these earthquake AfDs, because the earthquake wikiproject seem determined to delete many articles that meet , and even some that meet their own criteria. This nomination is a classic example. How can you say "No encyclopedic or education entry can be created" when an encyclopaedic entry exists? How can scientific interest, as shown in the existence of reliable sources, not align with encyclopaedic notability? In this case, in addition to the sources included in the article, I also find 'Geodetically inferred coseismic and postseismic slip due to the M 5.4 31 October 2007 Alum Rock earthquake', ''Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America'', 2009, J. R. Murray-Moraleda and R.W. Simpson https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/70037184,  'The 2007 M5.4 Alum Rock, California, earthquake: Implications for future earthquakes on the central and southern Calaveras Fault', ''JGR Solid Earth'', 2010, by David H.

Definitely meets . The previous AfD for an article about this 31 October 2007 earthquake was started on 31 October 2007. Clearly, the editors who thought it was not notable, and would never be notable, did not have crystal balls - the existence of articles published several years after the event is evidence of its notability
