| Note: The inclusion criteria for adding events are based on WikiProject Earthquakes' notability guideline that was developed for stand alone articles. The principles described also apply to lists. In summary, only damaging, injurious, or deadly events should be recorded. A compilation exists,[4] for details of Icelandic earthquakes up to 2014 as some have been without significant damage, even if high magnitude events. | ||||||||
