Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/July 2006 Sulawesi earthquake
Wikipedia is |not a directory of every earth tremor. A mild tremor following a serious one gets a splash of coverage as newscasters try to get viewer attention by hyping a nonevent as being like the previous serious earthquake. Wikipedia is not a mirror of everything that was covered by news media. The essay Wikipedia:News articles expresses the views of a number of Wikipedians. It says "Articles about items in the news are only considered encyclopedic if they are verifiably of significant lasting and historical interest and impact." Wikinews is a more appropriate site to chronicle everything that had anynews coverage
