Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010 Illinois earthquake
Diiscool makes some sensible arguments about a quake in the Chicago area being an unusual event (Southern Illinois has had its share because it's close to the New Madrid fault).  However, it falls squarely under .  Sure, it made the news the day it happened, but two weeks later, is anyone mentioning it?  We get plenty of articles entitled "2010 _____________" (tremor, plane making an unscheduled landing, event where more than one person was shot, man bites dog) simply because it's on CNN or Fox that day.  Usually, there's a grace period of a week or two before a nomination is made, simply because some news events do turn out to get covered days and weeks later.  This doesn't appear to be one of those events.  I agree with Zag that a general article would be preferable to this type of "breaking news" piece
