earthquakes are notable if they occur someplace that doesn't get many earthquakes: Thunderstorms are unusual here in San Diego where I live. They almost always make the news when they happen, and everybody talks about them for days. In other parts of the country, thunderstorms are an everyday occurrence. Would a San Diego thunderstorm be worthy of a
Knowledge article, on account of its rarity and news coverage? That's pretty much the argument that people make when they say "well, yes, it was a minor earthquake, but it was unusual for the area." For that matter, it snowed here once, back in the 1940s - up to an inch in places. That inch of snow would certainly be worth an article,
451:
there is fault line but not in
Ireland and a spicily in County Clare were there is little known about earthquakes in that part of Ireland. I like and I say it again to keep it on here as a record of this event and if in the near further a bigger earthquake mint happen in Ireland may in that area. I now in the past were a small quake has happaned and some 50 to 100 years later in the same a bigger earthquake struck. Is could be the case in County Clare earthquake. But then again it could be an known fault which I would a I on.
581:
This article is the poster child for the recent proliferation of worthless articles about trivial earthquakes. No way is this worth an article. Such minor quakes happen all the time, all over the world; this one was probably not even felt except by instruments. Question for those who claim that minor

Donegal earlier this year" which was also unusual. Plus a representative from the School of Cosmic Physics calling it "very important", "there is no record in any historical archive of a tremor or earthquake before", "This

I should point out I try to come to these as a keeper, I don't like deleting editors' hard work, but there just isn't the in-depth coverage in reliable sources I need to find to support that position. The keeps suggest that it was a big deal in parts of
Ireland, but then where is the material to

Not again. I tolled you way I left this on in the frist place. I have family in that part of
Ireland and they tolled me the night which the quake struck that they felt it. This is a big event in Ireland's geography. Yes earthquakes of this magnitude happen over 1000 times a day in the world were
563:
Although only 2.7 magnitude, this quake is notable for being the first ever recorded seismic activity of any kind in the area. It caused quite a stir with the locals. Earthquakes like this happen every single day in some parts of the world, but in
Ireland they are extremely rare.
546:- Well below notability guidelines for Earthquakes. It seems that nobody would have known about it but for sophisticated measuring equipment. 0 deaths, no injuries, no damage, a few people woke up when they heard a loud bang then went back to sleep; now that's not notable!
48:. This is a question of "It's below 5.0, so not notable" vs "It's unusually high for the general location". Clear consensus was not found, so I am closing it thus - but without prejudice against a speedy renomination, should that be considered desireable --
353:
No, as I've had no reason to look at that article (I do nominate articles, but only after coming across an article for some other reason). I'm sure someone will get round to it if it needs nominating. As far as this article is concerned that is covered by
496:"Unusually large events in areas of low seismicity - the 'largest earthquake since 1992' doesn't make it notable but the 'largest event since records began' probably does, as long as the area is large enough (i.e. countries rather than counties)".
609:
And before you all get too excited about "the largest earthquake ever recorded!", "first ever recorded in the area!", etc., please note that records have only been kept since 1978. So the correct description is "largest earthquake in more than 30
529:- The weakness of Irish earthquakes is itself notable. Some hi-tech chipmaking by laser plants are here because of the stablility of the soil (if nothing else!). Besides not much ever happens in Clare now that matchmaking is dying out.
