"Milestone in European politics"? I think it's much too early to call it that. Many people may speculate what will he change now that he is a president, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. — Yerpo Eh? 08:12, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I would like to ask other editors if his name could be listed on "Deaths" section, although only 5 non-English language articles are available, as he was a member of the Imperial House of Japan, as well as a first cousin of current-reigning Emperor Akihito.-- -What can I do for someone?- ( talk) 07:47, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if he should be included in deaths, as he currently is. To be sure, in the US anyway, his name is almost synonymous with the 1992 Los Angeles riots (which, based on foreign-language articles at least, seem to be at least somewhat well-known internationally). However, even in the States hardly anyone knows anything about him biographically; his fame/infamy ultimately rests on his being in the right/wrong (depending on POV) place at the right/wrong time, rather than on anything substantial that he actively or individually did. Leaning towards exclusion. Cosmic Latte ( talk) 13:24, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
This article reports nine notable deaths in January 2012. The "official" Wikipedia article Deaths in January 2012 reports 495 notable deaths in the same month.

I'm not sure it should be reported here. Perhaps it's appropriate as the largest power failure, but how many of those 620 million actually had electricity? It's reporting the total population of the blacked out areas. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
The WP:RY guidelines for deaths require articles in 10 different languages. For a performer like Nelson, whose work is in English, one would not expect to see articles in many other languages. The Count is certainly internationally famous to English-speaking people, and his 40-year career means he is known to multiple generations. Certainly exceptions have to be made for such performers. Consider that Jerry Nelson was not only The Count, but also Herry Monster, The Amazing Mumford, Sherlock Hemlock, and Frazzle of Sesame Street, plus Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Robin the Frog, and Camilla the Chicken on the Muppet Show. He's got to be at least as important as Phyllis Diller. Freshmutt ( talk) 17:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Two editors have repeatedly reverted my addition of a death of a person ( Doc Watson) who has an article in 13 languages on Wikipedia, claiming that it does not "seem" to meet the minimum requirement, even going so far as to refer to WP:RY. From WP:RY:
"Births
Births are only to be included if there are Wikipedia articles in at least ten languages about the individual in question.
Deaths
The same criteria apply to deaths as to births."
Instead of reverting, would someone care to explain what is going on here? Cresix ( talk) 21:54, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Cresix - simply put you have no leg to stand on unless you can get concensus here now or in the future - i will show you how little you have towards consensus right now - as i am the major editor for the 2012 in the United States article i can tell you that i keep a list of all those obits that i still need to add and can tell you that right now doc watson barely warrants inclusion there from my observations - so as to in the world article - my vote is EXCLUDE-- 68.231.15.56 ( talk) 23:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Once again, Yerpo, stop assuming I am only talking about Watson (otherwise some people may begin to think that your only concern is excluding Watson) and start assuming the truth: my concern is that, if the guideline has changed, that needs to be reflected in WP:RY. So anyone who meets the guideline as currently stated should not be excluded only because there were insufficient non-English articles at the time of death. Now if people want to argue other issues related to inclusion, fine. But don't try argue that the minimum number of articles is different than it is stated in in WP:FY. If the number has changed, then how about if you change the way it's worded and then you go through all the relevant years and cull out those entries that do not meet the new guideline. Cresix ( talk) 00:39, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
An editor has added his name on Deaths because there are 14 non-English articles, but I would like to ask other editors if he should be included, because of the length of descriptions on each respective language is pretty short, only except Portuguese, official language of Brazil, and Italian ones. -- -What can I do for someone?- ( talk) 06:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
This one is ambiguous. Almost all the articles are very stubby, but there's a lot of them, and being a member of the team that won the World Cup surely is an indication of international importance. — Yerpo Eh? 09:06, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
I wanna write that September 11th 2012 is the 11th anniversary of 9/11 attacks in 2001. According to the theory of coincidences about number 11, there is the probability of a new attack. Time Traveller 1999 ( talk) 15:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I am not sure why what I added was wrong... We are still not sure of the definite cause of these attacks. There is suspicion that it was an organized terror plot, so I changed it to be an indirect statement.
Ok, I added a reference for clarification. There is no "nice" way of getting the point across, since we are still unsure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guphanti ( talk) 23:43, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

I was surprised not to see any reference to Obamas victory in the american president election. Clearly this must be a notable (if yet predictable) event.. 82.183.224.73 ( talk) 09:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
(reset indent) In my opinion, by chronicling the regular political process of a country (even if a "superpower"), we'd make the same mistake than the Nobel committee who awarded Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for no particular achievement. I understand the argument about election coverage from abroad, but whatever the commentators say is just speculation at this point. As I said before on one of these talk pages, WP:RY is not a news outlet. We can always include such events later if they turn out to be landmark. — Yerpo Eh? 06:31, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Exclude I see no real reason to include this. As mentioned, it is a very predictable event, (I don't even know why he made it to 2008). Elections in one country affects many other countries, (mostly neighbours). Elections in France/UK/Germany affect all of Europe, (and in turn the world), elections in China affect all of Asia, (and in turn the world). Elections in Australia also affect Asia, what about Russian elections? One could even argue that policies/laws are far more important than merely (re)electing a president. The fact that he got re-elected hardly changed the life of 99% of the world population. FFMG ( talk) 06:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure it should be reported here. Perhaps it's appropriate as the largest power failure, but how many of those 620 million actually had electricity? It's reporting the total population of the blacked out areas. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
The WP:RY guidelines for deaths require articles in 10 different languages. For a performer like Nelson, whose work is in English, one would not expect to see articles in many other languages. The Count is certainly internationally famous to English-speaking people, and his 40-year career means he is known to multiple generations. Certainly exceptions have to be made for such performers. Consider that Jerry Nelson was not only The Count, but also Herry Monster, The Amazing Mumford, Sherlock Hemlock, and Frazzle of Sesame Street, plus Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Robin the Frog, and Camilla the Chicken on the Muppet Show. He's got to be at least as important as Phyllis Diller. Freshmutt ( talk) 17:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Two editors have repeatedly reverted my addition of a death of a person ( Doc Watson) who has an article in 13 languages on Wikipedia, claiming that it does not "seem" to meet the minimum requirement, even going so far as to refer to WP:RY. From WP:RY:
"Births
Births are only to be included if there are Wikipedia articles in at least ten languages about the individual in question.
Deaths
The same criteria apply to deaths as to births."
Instead of reverting, would someone care to explain what is going on here? Cresix ( talk) 21:54, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Cresix - simply put you have no leg to stand on unless you can get concensus here now or in the future - i will show you how little you have towards consensus right now - as i am the major editor for the 2012 in the United States article i can tell you that i keep a list of all those obits that i still need to add and can tell you that right now doc watson barely warrants inclusion there from my observations - so as to in the world article - my vote is EXCLUDE-- 68.231.15.56 ( talk) 23:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Once again, Yerpo, stop assuming I am only talking about Watson (otherwise some people may begin to think that your only concern is excluding Watson) and start assuming the truth: my concern is that, if the guideline has changed, that needs to be reflected in WP:RY. So anyone who meets the guideline as currently stated should not be excluded only because there were insufficient non-English articles at the time of death. Now if people want to argue other issues related to inclusion, fine. But don't try argue that the minimum number of articles is different than it is stated in in WP:FY. If the number has changed, then how about if you change the way it's worded and then you go through all the relevant years and cull out those entries that do not meet the new guideline. Cresix ( talk) 00:39, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
An editor has added his name on Deaths because there are 14 non-English articles, but I would like to ask other editors if he should be included, because of the length of descriptions on each respective language is pretty short, only except Portuguese, official language of Brazil, and Italian ones. -- -What can I do for someone?- ( talk) 06:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
This one is ambiguous. Almost all the articles are very stubby, but there's a lot of them, and being a member of the team that won the World Cup surely is an indication of international importance. — Yerpo Eh? 09:06, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
I wanna write that September 11th 2012 is the 11th anniversary of 9/11 attacks in 2001. According to the theory of coincidences about number 11, there is the probability of a new attack. Time Traveller 1999 ( talk) 15:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I am not sure why what I added was wrong... We are still not sure of the definite cause of these attacks. There is suspicion that it was an organized terror plot, so I changed it to be an indirect statement.

(reset indent) In my opinion, by chronicling the regular political process of a country (even if a "superpower"), we'd make the same mistake than the Nobel committee who awarded Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for no particular achievement. I understand the argument about election coverage from abroad, but whatever the commentators say is just speculation at this point. As I said before on one of these talk pages, WP:RY is not a news outlet. We can always include such events later if they turn out to be landmark. — Yerpo Eh? 06:31, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Exclude I see no real reason to include this. As mentioned, it is a very predictable event, (I don't even know why he made it to 2008). Elections in one country affects many other countries, (mostly neighbours). Elections in France/UK/Germany affect all of Europe, (and in turn the world), elections in China affect all of Asia, (and in turn the world). Elections in Australia also affect Asia, what about Russian elections? One could even argue that policies/laws are far more important than merely (re)electing a president. The fact that he got re-elected hardly changed the life of 99% of the world population. FFMG ( talk) 06:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
