Cleanup title[edit]
I think this should be renamed to something more in line with other similar articles, such as 2014 Aegean Sea earthquake, so I have included a template at the top prior to discussion here. Skycycle (talk) 07:06, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- Agreed and so moved, although there may be better titles than the current one. Mikenorton (talk) 11:04, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Skycycle, there has been one more deadly earthquake in Aegean in 2017 [1], so maybe the title should change to 2017 south Aegean Sea earthquake. --C messier (talk) 15:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- But for moment there is only one article, so no need to change the title yet. Wykx (talk) 15:06, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- I've created an article for the 2017 Lesbos earthquake. The effects were almost entirely on the island, so no need to widen the description in that case I think. Mikenorton (talk) 17:49, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
Aftershocks[edit]
There have crazy number aftershocks in low frequency, even 2 of 5.)0. SNeeds adding here.Lihaas (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- With a 6.7 quake it is expected to have at least a few strong 5.0+ aftershocks, so nothing 'crazy' here. Once more detailed information is available and some time passes, a list of major aftershocks will be added to the box, or perhaps the article itself. Skycycle (talk) 18:27, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- Its not few, every few hours have a couple (roughly 3.0s but stil at low depth)Lihaas (talk) 01:29, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- "Few" usually refers to 8, or less. So "few" is correct. 50.111.42.37 (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- The number of low magnitude aftershocks doesn't seem unusual. I agree with Skycycle that we can document them in time - there's no rush, unless there is an aftershock large enough to cause further damage. Mikenorton (talk) 12:05, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Title revisited[edit]
Looking through the scientific publications for this event, it seems that 2017 Bodrum–Kos earthquake is the common name, at least amongst seismologists. Mikenorton (talk) 20:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
