editThis earthquake basically happened in the middle of nowhere and, from what I can make of it, didn't kill anybody or knock any buildings down. Master of Time (talk) 11:44, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- I agree, I already removed several pointless "there was no damage in X location" lines (there was no damage at my house in the UK either, funnily enough) and proposed the page for deletion but the deletion proposal has mysteriously disappeared! Buttons0603 (talk) 19:48, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Disagree While there was little or no damage and no casualties, a 7.1Mw earthquake felt in five different countries is notable. I sense cultural bias, as the 3.0Mw 2020 Stockton earthquake is not slated for deletion. Michael E Nolan (talk) 01:28, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Well, that one has now been nominated for deletion - thanks for bringing it to people's attention. There are a lot of 'Keep' votes at the AfD page for this earthquake that mean it will almost certainly be kept. What I would like to see is those editors actually turning this article into more than a news story, although I predict that it will remain as an almost content free stub.

- Following the closure of the AfD as "Keep" due to "no consensus", I've done my best to add what I can find to improve the article - there's not a lot - perhaps more details of damage on Jamaica will become evident. Mikenorton (talk) 13:09, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
