There is a discussion on my talk page on page layout.
For most of the last three hundred years there is inconsistency and duplication between the year in topic paragraph, the "see also" box and what is on the year by topic pages. Prior to 1950 I am pretty convinced we can painlessly (except for sore fingers) delete all of the year in topic paragraphs and ensure that the material goes into a "see also" box, creating such a box where none exists. Post 1950, particularly from the "year in US television" link a lot of material has been added to this paragraph as highlights (sometimes making up most of the page content pointed at).
Personally I think we should still delete the paragraph, keep the box linking to the topic sites and move any particularly important parts of the year in topic paragraph to the main chronological list. This does involve undoing quite a bit of work which someone has done.
Therefore, unlike for prior to 1950 (where I've said no objection= I do it) for post 1950 I won't touch these pages unless a significant number of people agree with the change. (I am also unlikely to get the pre 1950 stuff done before summer unless the service speed improves dramatically). talk-- BozMo 13:42, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
Just wondering, do you think that we should have a section like "major events" at the top, containing a handful of the most important events of the year? — Braaropolis | Talk 05:58, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Do we really need all four milestones for Andrew Wiles and Fermat's last theorem on here (June 21, 22, 23, 24)? Can't we remove the lectures and just have the date of the solution on there? If there are no objections over the next few days, I'll remove the three lecture dates. -- ParkerHiggins | Talk 21:52, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Should we have a "birthday" listed for a fictional advertising character such as Crazy frog? I deleted it, but it was restored, and I don't feel like getting into a revert war. -- ArglebargleIV 19:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
"February 24 - Yukihiro Matsumoto starts working on the Ruby programming language."
Is this really significant enough to belong on this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.178.128 ( talk) 16:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
"June 8 – In Paris, Christian Didier breaks into the home of René Bousquet, banker and former Vichy France administrator, and shoots him dead."
It seems to me like the phrase "shoots him dead" could be reworded to, say, "shoots him to death". I've taken the liberty of changing it. -- Robe 20:26, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Surely it should be the 94th year of the 20th century 1,994th year of the Common Era and the 994th year of the 2nd millennium. as it is the 4th of the 1990s Thomas Rules 17:44, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Should the Superbowl be included for this year? Centralized discussion at WT:YEARS#Superbowls — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:07, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Anyone think this Canadian rapper meets, even the minimal requirements, for a birth listing here? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:05, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
The only notable claim claim of notability in her article is that she will represent Lithuania in
Eurovision 2018, and possibly the unsourced claim that she toured the country after appearing on (the article says "winning", but that appears not to be in other language Wikipedias) a TV3 "project" (programme?). One of the statements made is that she was a "restaurant" singer for a number of years. —

Was does my contribution of a photo of Bobby Moore keep getting removed? Bob3458 ( talk) 19:02, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
I don't think he's internationally notable, and he may not even meet WP:ARTIST. I realize one of the references is apparently from the UK, and one of his labels is a (possibly local) record label in Sweden, but I really don't see very much notable about him. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:59, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

What was so bad about having lists of people born/ died for the year, alongside photos of some of the most famous ones, plus a quick description for each person? The new format is dreadful! 180.150.38.13 ( talk) 05:08, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
