Redirect

@Quake1234 you've contributed substantially to this article although a redirect is the best move for WPEQ as it appears impact from this earthquake is minimal. This event clearly fails WP:EVENTS and WP:GNG for a standalone article; the rest are probably in the Cuba or 2024 lists. Far as I'm concerned, we're trying to cut back on unnecesary articles at least within earthquake scope. I think you've observed similar with the recent M7s in Peru and Chile which were redirected after a while. An IP and Bedivere have decided to challenge this move favoring a troublesome and longer AfD process, Your thoughts? Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikenorton @Dawnseeker2000 do you have any thoughts about redirecting recently-created earthquake articles that do not meet WP guidelines for articles? Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a better option than deletion as the redirect can always be expanded into an article if sufficient sources appear at a later point. Unfortunately there isn't an Afr process similar to Afd, so most end up going through a deletion request first. Mikenorton (talk) 17:41, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
