Re-instated the Diana and WTC bits from Back to the Future II - they should be mentioned. PMA 20:46, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Heh, about the WTC towers appearing in Back to the Future 2; perhaps that could be just a sort of memorial shot. Many books have been published showing pictures of the towers lately; I think they sold pretty well. What do you think?

Why does Common Era (CE) come before Anno Domini (AD), in all the year articles past 1910? AD is much more commonly used. I propose this is changed on all these articles. Papergumgum ( talk) 11:29, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Terminology that is viewed by some as being more neutral and inclusive of non-Christian people is to call this the Christian, Current, or Common Era (abbreviated as CE or C.E.), with the preceding years referred to as Before the Common, Christian, or Current Era (BCE or B.C.E.). Astronomical year numbering and ISO 8601 avoid words or abbreviations related to Christianity, but use the same numbers for years AD.
I think the deletion of Al Rosen is completely nonsensical.
The problem is clearly the rule. See discussion here.
But common sense should prevail in any event. Al Rosen, a Major League Baseball MVP, etc., is clearly more notable than others who are listed ... listed even on the basis of a foreign language one-sentence zero-ref article.
Rosen gets far more hits, so is clearly searched for more by the English Wikipedia readership.
I would urge that common sense be applied, and he be restored. The rule should be changed in the long run. But in the short run -- as wp allows, and indeed as this guideline itself clearly states at the outset ("This ... guideline ...is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.") -- common sense should be applied in this particular case.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 09:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey, look everyone, it's now such a "minor" event that 40 world leaders have joined a million people in a unity march - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30765824 Yep, clearly nobody will be interested in knowing about these attacks when they look back on the 2015 page in the future. Let's just keep the entry blank, so people can look at a white space of nothing instead. Personally, I love to remain ignorant and read history books that consist of blank pages - really fascinating to read. Wjfox2005 ( talk) 15:55, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
Hey I am seeing that the Paris terrorist attacks are not seen as an "important event" though it has been classified it has raised the international threat level. Given that the article itself is like the previous Boston bombings should be given credence and thereby be included. No to revisionism in Wiki. Rizalninoynapoleon ( talk) 23:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Charlie Hebdo might not have been big in size but what it did was enormous. So we're going to completely leave it out despite the huge international response, all the marches, etc. This was a BIG thing and it's going to continue to be a big thing. Especially with the attack in Denmark in February also. It's a huge injustice not to at least mention it, and shows how little you all seem to care about the lives lost and the lasting effects of something like this. Benbuff91 13:44 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Visiting 2015 and seeing the glaring omission of the most obvious global event to happen thos year makes the whole article look untrustworthy. If something that was all over the world's main newspaper front pages for a couple of weeks isn't here, what is the 2015 article for? 92.26.187.13 ( talk) 02:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
"one death is a tragedy, 1 000 000 deaths is a statistic" is sentence from Staline. Sure lots of events cause more deaths but history is not abouth numbers, it is abouth the impact on social structures. If so many people are shocked by this event then it is important. Not many people died in Fergusson, it still a really important fact. In India, the whole society is talking abouth one rape, while there are hudreds of rapes every day there. I'm not gonna list every example of symbolic facts. — Preceding

Although with fewer than the nine non-English-wiki articles usually required, should he be included in the deaths list on this page? Benaud was one of the major figures in the history of cricket, as indicated here in the New York Times.-- A bit iffy ( talk) 12:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
I understand that then-oldest supercentenarians are not included in the Death's section unless any of those are considered as notable besides their lifespan. However, she was not only the then-oldest, but the verified oldest Japanese person ever, the oldest person ever born in Asia, and the fifth oldest verified person ever recorded. As all top 4 oldest-ever people have passed away in 20th century, which years' articles do not necessarily apply WP:RY rules, I would like to ask other editors if she could be included.

She scrapes the minimum according to WP:RY, but several of the articles are one-sentence stubs not demonstrating international importance. It also appears from her filmography that her work was mostly limited to minor supporting roles. Therefore, she doesn't really belong to this list, imho.

The entry for the FIFA bribery allegations has been removed but the entry for Blatter's resignation has not. While these admittedly have been major news stories what international impact has there been outside of sports? This is relevant because WP:RY states that the only sporting events that are included are the FIFA world Cup and the Olympics. If these events are notable in a purely sporting context then they belong in 2015 in sports (regardless of the edit summary "Where the hell is it supposed to go on the sports section?", which is a failing of that article and not a justification for including it here). Is there any international impact outside of sports? If not then neither belongs here. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 07:33, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Alright, so please enlighten me as to how Monty Oum doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion here? He's the creator of a popular web-based series seen across the world, worked for a company Rooster Teeth that is known across the world. Yet somehow he doesn't meet? Tell me exactly how Joshua Fishman does. Oum's impact and tragic passing is a worldwide thing, not just limited to the US. Rusted AutoParts 14:23, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
I feel the guidelines for including people in the Deaths section prohibits people of notability from getting included because of the amount of non-English Wiki's they seem to have to need. Monty Oum was a well regarded animator whose work has achieved global attention. He was nominated for a Producers Guild of America award for his work, and his anime RWBY is now being dubbed for Japanese audiences, which is a feat in itself as normally anime get translated from Japanese. He's on 5 non-English wikis, which I feel is more than enough. Rusted AutoParts 20:20, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
If these two events (i). 2015 Pakistani heat wave and (ii). 2015 Indian heat wave meet the touchstone of the 2015 events kindly include them into 2015. thanks and regards.-- Jogi don ( talk) 04:45, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
A case could be brought for overriding WP:RY. He only had 6 other-language Wikipedias at death, but the article mentions some accomplishments which qualify as "international". Neutral on the addition, but Rusted AutoParts seems to want to add it without this discussion. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:34, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Is there a reason why Beau Biden was removed from the list of deaths from May 30th — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.250.11 ( talk) 02:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Births
Births are only to be included if there are Wikipedia articles in at least ten languages about the individual in question. William Shakespeare, for example, has several non-English articles on him, listed on the left sidebar. This is a minimum requirement for unexplained inclusion. Although inclusion may then be automatic, it will not necessarily be permanent. Any entry may be contested by any editor who finds the entry undue; and, pending discussion, many names might not merit inclusion, even if they have enough non-English articles.
Deaths
The same criteria apply to deaths as to births, with the addition that the number of non-English Wikipedia articles is taken at the time of the person's death.

C'mon, 290 civilians that are killed in 2 days in four major terrorist attack at four different places around the world is indeed a global scale.

This probably should be added to the section July under Event: the Chattanooga shooting. Ptb1997 ( talk) 18:37, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
Why can't the Chattanooga shooting be added to the article. It occurred in 2015. Or is it too local to be added? Ptb1997 ( talk) 19:03, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
I once heard about the wildfires going on in the state of California, but I will ask the following question: is the 2015 Cajon Pass wildfire considered a local event or is a national event? I'm asking because events that are too local can't be put on Wikipedia, and I'm really wondering if a wildfire is considered local or national. If I get answers, I certainly will pass it along. Thank you. Ptb1997 ( talk) 18:59, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
I added the date that Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away, and it was reverted with a message that she did not meet WP:RY and to bring to the the talk page for a consensus. Checking her page, including English, she has a page published on 10 different language Wikipedia, which would seem to satisfy WP:RY. Before adding the death to the list, I'd like to gain a consensus it should be added. Wildthing61476 ( talk) 19:56, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
DerbyCountyinNZ has added an HTML comment not to add the US same-sex marriage decision here because it is not "internationally significant." There is no corresponding comment here on the talk page, and I strongly disagree with this apparently unilateral assessment. This got coverage in media around the world: [3], [4], [5], [6] (and that's from a 10 minute search). I'm not sure what more you're looking for. I understand that this is specific to the United States, but the swift change in American attitudes toward gay marriage is globally notable. agtx 16:42, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
You can't throw around WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as if it's a bad argument when we're talking about things on the same page. Come on now. As far as no international impact, this is sounding dangerously like WP:OR. Who's deciding whether there's been international impact? What are we basing that decision on? The Le Monde article, from France not the United States, starts "C’est une décision historique." The French are calling it historic. I don't understand how else, other than by global news coverage, we can hope to understand what "demonstrated international significance" means. agtx 07:11, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
It seems like this discussion has started to go in circles. Are we at a point of no consensus here, where it might be worth looking outside this page to come to a resolution? Is it worth having a more formal !vote? agtx 15:50, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
There is an issue that can arise when two sides have opposing views. One may be better or worse than the other, but sometimes, neither side will budge no matter what. Perhaps there is a solution to ending this discussion? External voices? Ideas? Dustin (talk) 18:28, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Why isn't this allowed on the year page, yet some attacks in Nigeria can?

I don't understand why this massacre is supposed to be kept silent. It was meaningful beyond the 12 persons who got shot down in the attacks. Events of lesser importance, both human and symbolic, are yet mentioned (The eradiction of the rubella in the US, the resignation of the FIFA president...) La Halfeline ( talk) 11:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
The Mecca crane collapse appears to pass the 3 continent rule: Japan, USA, UK, South Africa. Seem notable enough to include. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 23:13, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
Although there are 10 other-language Wikipedia articles at death, the Italian entry is a substub, the Albainian entry is a stub, and the Arabic entry looks to be a substub (at least Google translate seems to view it as such). — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Removed for lack of notability. Passes WP:RY minimum, just, but English and most other articles are stubs and nothing in his article to indicate that he was internationally notable. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 16:51, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Terminology that is viewed by some as being more neutral and inclusive of non-Christian people is to call this the Christian, Current, or Common Era (abbreviated as CE or C.E.), with the preceding years referred to as Before the Common, Christian, or Current Era (BCE or B.C.E.). Astronomical year numbering and ISO 8601 avoid words or abbreviations related to Christianity, but use the same numbers for years AD.
I think the deletion of Al Rosen is completely nonsensical.
The problem is clearly the rule. See discussion here.
But common sense should prevail in any event. Al Rosen, a Major League Baseball MVP, etc., is clearly more notable than others who are listed ... listed even on the basis of a foreign language one-sentence zero-ref article.
Rosen gets far more hits, so is clearly searched for more by the English Wikipedia readership.
I would urge that common sense be applied, and he be restored. The rule should be changed in the long run. But in the short run -- as wp allows, and indeed as this guideline itself clearly states at the outset ("This ... guideline ...is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.") -- common sense should be applied in this particular case.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 09:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Is this really sufficiently important to be listed in a "year" article? It's a small terrorist attack. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Hey, look everyone, it's now such a "minor" event that 40 world leaders have joined a million people in a unity march - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30765824 Yep, clearly nobody will be interested in knowing about these attacks when they look back on the 2015 page in the future. Let's just keep the entry blank, so people can look at a white space of nothing instead. Personally, I love to remain ignorant and read history books that consist of blank pages - really fascinating to read. Wjfox2005 ( talk) 15:55, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
Hey I am seeing that the Paris terrorist attacks are not seen as an "important event" though it has been classified it has raised the international threat level. Given that the article itself is like the previous Boston bombings should be given credence and thereby be included. No to revisionism in Wiki. Rizalninoynapoleon ( talk) 23:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Charlie Hebdo might not have been big in size but what it did was enormous. So we're going to completely leave it out despite the huge international response, all the marches, etc. This was a BIG thing and it's going to continue to be a big thing. Especially with the attack in Denmark in February also. It's a huge injustice not to at least mention it, and shows how little you all seem to care about the lives lost and the lasting effects of something like this. Benbuff91 13:44 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Visiting 2015 and seeing the glaring omission of the most obvious global event to happen thos year makes the whole article look untrustworthy. If something that was all over the world's main newspaper front pages for a couple of weeks isn't here, what is the 2015 article for? 92.26.187.13 ( talk) 02:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
"one death is a tragedy, 1 000 000 deaths is a statistic" is sentence from Staline. Sure lots of events cause more deaths but history is not abouth numbers, it is abouth the impact on social structures. If so many people are shocked by this event then it is important. Not many people died in Fergusson, it still a really important fact. In India, the whole society is talking abouth one rape, while there are hudreds of rapes every day there. I'm not gonna list every example of symbolic facts. — Preceding

Although with fewer than the nine non-English-wiki articles usually required, should he be included in the deaths list on this page? Benaud was one of the major figures in the history of cricket, as indicated here in the New York Times.-- A bit iffy ( talk) 12:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
I understand that then-oldest supercentenarians are not included in the Death's section unless any of those are considered as notable besides their lifespan. However, she was not only the then-oldest, but the verified oldest Japanese person ever, the oldest person ever born in Asia, and the fifth oldest verified person ever recorded. As all top 4 oldest-ever people have passed away in 20th century, which years' articles do not necessarily apply WP:RY rules, I would like to ask other editors if she could be included.

She scrapes the minimum according to WP:RY, but several of the articles are one-sentence stubs not demonstrating international importance. It also appears from her filmography that her work was mostly limited to minor supporting roles. Therefore, she doesn't really belong to this list, imho.

The entry for the FIFA bribery allegations has been removed but the entry for Blatter's resignation has not. While these admittedly have been major news stories what international impact has there been outside of sports? This is relevant because WP:RY states that the only sporting events that are included are the FIFA world Cup and the Olympics. If these events are notable in a purely sporting context then they belong in 2015 in sports (regardless of the edit summary "Where the hell is it supposed to go on the sports section?", which is a failing of that article and not a justification for including it here). Is there any international impact outside of sports? If not then neither belongs here. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 07:33, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Alright, so please enlighten me as to how Monty Oum doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion here? He's the creator of a popular web-based series seen across the world, worked for a company Rooster Teeth that is known across the world. Yet somehow he doesn't meet? Tell me exactly how Joshua Fishman does. Oum's impact and tragic passing is a worldwide thing, not just limited to the US. Rusted AutoParts 14:23, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
I feel the guidelines for including people in the Deaths section prohibits people of notability from getting included because of the amount of non-English Wiki's they seem to have to need. Monty Oum was a well regarded animator whose work has achieved global attention. He was nominated for a Producers Guild of America award for his work, and his anime RWBY is now being dubbed for Japanese audiences, which is a feat in itself as normally anime get translated from Japanese. He's on 5 non-English wikis, which I feel is more than enough. Rusted AutoParts 20:20, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

A case could be brought for overriding WP:RY. He only had 6 other-language Wikipedias at death, but the article mentions some accomplishments which qualify as "international".

Births
Births are only to be included if there are Wikipedia articles in at least ten languages about the individual in question. William Shakespeare, for example, has several non-English articles on him, listed on the left sidebar. This is a minimum requirement for unexplained inclusion. Although inclusion may then be automatic, it will not necessarily be permanent. Any entry may be contested by any editor who finds the entry undue; and, pending discussion, many names might not merit inclusion, even if they have enough non-English articles.
Deaths
The same criteria apply to deaths as to births, with the addition that the number of non-English Wikipedia articles is taken at the time of the person's death.

I once heard about the wildfires going on in the state of California, but I will ask the following question: is the 2015 Cajon Pass wildfire considered a local event or is a national event?

I added the date that Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away, and it was reverted with a message that she did not meet WP:RY and to bring to the the talk page for a consensus. Checking her page, including English, she has a page published on 10 different language Wikipedia, which would seem to satisfy WP:RY. Before adding the death to the list, I'd like to gain a consensus it should be added. Wildthing61476 ( talk) 19:56, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
DerbyCountyinNZ has added an HTML comment not to add the US same-sex marriage decision here because it is not "internationally significant." There is no corresponding comment here on the talk page, and I strongly disagree with this apparently unilateral assessment. This got coverage in media around the world: [3], [4], [5], [6] (and that's from a 10 minute search). I'm not sure what more you're looking for. I understand that this is specific to the United States, but the swift change in American attitudes toward gay marriage is globally notable. agtx 16:42, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
You can't throw around WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as if it's a bad argument when we're talking about things on the same page. Come on now. As far as no international impact, this is sounding dangerously like WP:OR. Who's deciding whether there's been international impact? What are we basing that decision on? The Le Monde article, from France not the United States, starts "C’est une décision historique." The French are calling it historic. I don't understand how else, other than by global news coverage, we can hope to understand what "demonstrated international significance" means. agtx 07:11, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
It seems like this discussion has started to go in circles. Are we at a point of no consensus here, where it might be worth looking outside this page to come to a resolution? Is it worth having a more formal !vote? agtx 15:50, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
