2013 Governor Generoso earthquake

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:

Low intensity (Moderate)
No injuries or deaths
Lack of coverage from the scientific community
Not listed on the NGDC's significant earthquake database
Fails multiple aspects of WP:EVENT

No lasting effects
No depth of coverage

Essentially zero details on it.

There are destructive events in the Philippines, and we have articles on quite a few, but this is not one of them. This one also does not qualify to be on the list so redirecting is not an option. The USGS entry for the event tells us that it happened and that the computer generated (simulation) intensity was V (Moderate) and that the highest reported intensity from someone on the ground at that location was IV (Light) but nothing more. If there were damage, injuries, or deaths, related detail would be listed under the "impact" section:
