• Great article! Thank you for renominating it. Hopefully now it will finally achieve its full potential. I have left a few comments below. 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 18:45, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

  Hi @LunaEatsTuna, the prose and citation issues have been addressed. I'll see how I can expand the article using local language sources although I'm limited to using a bot translator. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 01:14, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

  Nice work; the new Aftermath section you added is just what I was imagining! I find it fully satisfying and am now more than happy to pass this article for GA status. Congratulations, 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 03:45, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Files

• File:Terremoto de Iran Agosto2010.jpg: good, valid public domain rationale.

Prose

• "It left four people dead, 40 injured, and about 800 people without homes." – perhaps remove the second mention of people as redundant?
• "A more recent damaging event that also occurred near the Alborz mountain range was the 1953 Torud earthquake, in which more than 900 perished." – unrelated to this earthquake, move to Tectonic setting and adjust the succeeding text accordingly.
• A Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong)" – first mention in the body, wikilink to Mercalli intensity scale.
• "seismologists Shahvar and Zaré" is it common practice for seismologists to be referred to exclusively by their last names (similar to Author citation (botany))? Otherwise refer to them by their full names.
• Add template:Use mdy dates and template:Use X English to the top of the article under the short description.
• Add WP:ALT text to images.

Refs

All the citations are RS and support the article's content. I have access to both refs 2/3 and 4 via the Wikipedia Library.

• Just asking as it is the shortest earthquake article I have yet reviewed—does the Farsi-language entry for this article contain any other notable information? It has some RS sources from media outlets that could possibly help.
• I have a few reservations about refs 2/3. The citations, both to the same source, are identical with four page numbers expect for one instance of "692, 693" versus "693–695". This appears to have been done so that every section in the article can have a citation at only the end. Could I inconvenience you to assign individual ref templates for each of the page number(s) to the relevant sentences instead? This will help readers know which page supports which statement, which is quite important for fact checking readers.
