Duplicate?

This article appears to be the same event as 2023 South Asia earthquake. Perhaps they can be merged under the other title (which seems more appropriate than Badakhshan). Schazjmd (talk) 19:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely don't need three articles. Merge the others into the 2023 Hindu Kush earthquake. Mikenorton (talk) 20:21, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I agree with @Mikenorton, merge it into my article because "Hindu Kush earthquake" is a better, local and more consistent name for these earthquakes Quake1234 (talk) 20:23, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page existed 3 hours before the creation of the 2023 Hindu Kush earthquake duplicate page, I believe it should be merged into this page and then we could rename it. --Pithon314 (talk) 21:19, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pithon314 It doesn't matter when it was created, all that matters is the content and overall its existence. It would be the same thing if we merged it with the 2023 article, which would be intact while this and the other duplicate article get merged Quake1234 (talk) 22:49, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just leaving my two cents here, if Quake1234's article is the one that stays, they must attribute the content used for this article correctly. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 00:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This topic is now closed for discussion. Thank you. Anonymous569 (talk) 00:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Local time

Why do we have two local times? While the UTC time is just one. Aminabzz (talk) 01:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nowruz

The earthquake has occured on the first day of Iranian calendar which is celebrated in Persian speaking countries (Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan). Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? Aminabzz (talk) 01:19, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In what way is this relevant? Are RS making the connection? Son Of The Desert (Talk) 13:20, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How isn't it relevant? The earthquake has happened on the new year celebration day. Aminabzz (talk) 20:20, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
