or '''merge''' to 1976 Tangshan earthquake: I agree that |Wikipedia is not a directory and shouldn’t include every minor earthquake. Even though this isn’t a major earthquake with casualties, this is a bit more than a minor earthquake.{{pb}}There is enough significant coverage from independent reliable sources for this earthquake to overwhelmingly pass . There's a lot of in-depth local and national coverage (e.g. http://www.xinhuanet.com/2020-07/12/c_1126228516.htm Xinhua), but more importantly there is also substantial international coverage including: ''South China Morning Post'' (https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3092845/chinese-city-tangshan-hit-magnitude-51-quake-stirring-memories link), CNA (TV network)|CNA (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/earthquake-china-tangshan-sunday-12925230 link), Associated Press (https://apnews.com/8c8b67aa46b25ef1e79f25d6a1b43804 link), Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/world/5-1-magnitude-earthquake-shakes-northeast-china-no-injuries-reported link), ''Hindustan Times'' (https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/5-1-magnitude-earthquake-jolts-china-s-hebei-province/story-6VkhNSEBibADLg5Kj4duyH.html link). The SCMP article, for instance, goes into more than just routine coverage and describes its structural damage, its geological and cultural link to the massive 1976 Tangshan earthquake, and its temporary effects on infrastructure.{{pb}}If one looks at , this passes GNG by a mile, is more than just a routine event, and is also likely to continue to have a lasting effect not least due to the geological significance of the fault
