Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/July 2006 Sulawesi earthquake
Bear in mind that on average, 134 quakes of magnitude 6.0-6.9 occur somewhere in the world each year, most of them being insignificant. They always get news coverage one way or another, but this quake has no historical significance at all, and I think the article is just simply |recentism because it occurred a few days after the July 2006 Java earthquake. Surely, if this deserves an article, then so do all the other 2,000 odd non notable M6.0+ quakes that have occurred in the past 20 years
