Why is the claimed end of support for an operating system notable? Microsoft has been known to extend the support date, and it's not clear even past end-of-support dates are notable.

The dooms day clock moves every now and then, that doesn't make it notable, also the dooms day clock supposedly predicts an upcoming nuclear disaster or world war 3, but historically it has been extremely inaccurate and useless. The closest a nuclear disaster came to happening was in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis but the clock did not move mush then, rather it moved in 2018 when diplomacy has become an option over outright war in almost everywhere in the world excluding middle east. Take the China-India case, tensions were as high in 2017 as it was in 1962, but where as in 1962 it led to war, it was resolved diplomatically in 2017. Due to nuclear deterrence India and Pakistan did not go to war in 2019, unlike in 1999 when they had the Kargil War, in 2019 were higher but they did not go to war. The dooms day clock has always been misleading, and it keeps changing, as useless it has always been I really do not think it is notable at all. Dilbaggg ( talk) 13:16, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

The Cuba earthquake has 0 deaths (as of now), disasters with 500 + deaths have not been included in the past like the Maharashtra floods of 2005 in the 2005 article, because it was strictly a domestic event. As I used to understand Wikipedia was not a day by day news coverage where people include every minor disasters that happen. Also earthquakes are something that happens all the time, those who knows geology would understand better than me, only those earth quakes above a certain magnitude, like over 5 on Richter scale can be felt. Only those that have severe significance, like 1000 deaths should be included. People now want to add everything now, before 2017 there was a recent year policy where only the most significant events would be added. 2005 had numerous deadly hurricanes but only Katrina was named in the 2005 article. Stan, Rita, etc were not included. In 2005 there were many earth quakes, but only the one in Pakistan with 80,000 + deaths and Indonesia with 1000 + deaths have been included. January 2020 now has almost the same amount of events as the whole year 2005 (only according to wikipedia that is). I hope people do not go adding disasters with less than 100 deaths (1000 preferable but since the recent year policy ended in 2017, at least 100 should be a must). If every single event has to be noted in 2020, then I feel the same should be done for all years 2000-2016 when the recent years policy was in full effect, the senior editors were so strict then and so many notable events had been excluded for being domestic events, having less than 1000 deaths, etc. Regardless I retreat to my main point, I really do not think disasters with less than 100 deaths or without some major internationally significant destruction should not be included. Its an issue of Wikipedia:Recentism. Dilbaggg ( talk) 15:21, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Also I would like to show
[1] as an example. In January 2009 it was overloaded with recent events, but the current
2008 article has been fixed. Only the Chinese earthquake that killed 87,000 is included. But the earth quakes of Japan and Kyrgyzstan with less than 100 deaths are now excluded,
Hurricane Hanna that killed 500 + in Haiti and many other hurricanes except Ike are now excluded (but were included when 2008 was a recent year), as are many more events that are not significant enough. Anyway thats the last thing I would say about it. Its what majority editors decide that matters.

Michael E Nolan 2019 is after the recent year policy ended and Wikipedia:Recentism has been a major issue from articles 2017, 2018, 2019. The policy was in full effect between 2000-2016. The Wikipedia:Recentism still applies though. 7.1 magnitude earthquakes have happened every now and then, there are year articles of 1000s of years, like say AD 102. It is not possible to trace all earthquakes with a 7 and above magnitude to happen and add them, and many such incidents have been excluded between 2000-2016 due to either being domestic events, having very low death toll, etc. for which they weren't considered significant enough. And bar shoot outs, prison riots are less common than earthquakes, unique events get more priority. Like the NK missile test was significant addition before 2017 when it became common and editors decided not to cover them much again due to increased frequency. earthquakes with too few death tolls are too common. But I agree 2017, 2018, 2019 have major Wikipedia:Recentism issues, so thats why I am trying to improve the 2020 article, I hope it does stay Wikipedia standard rather than becoming a day by day news coverage like 2017, 2018 and 2019 appears to be. Dilbaggg ( talk) 22:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
So new editors now will get privileges those between 2002-2016 didn't? Well it was a different thing then when additions keept getting deleted because of the recent year policy considering them insignificant and editors were rather discouraged. Past years like say AD 102 were by no means less eventful than present years, but at that time there was no internet, literacy rate was low, events were not noted on a regular basis, so it will not be possible to find sources to events. I have never ever seen any policy where natural disasters are preferable to man made ones and no policy where an earthquake must be added solely by magnitude rather than death toll (in fact lower magnitude earth quakes cause more damage than higher ones, Lists of earthquakes, the 7.3 in Turkmenistan in 1948 killed 100,000 while the 9.6 one in Chile killed 7000). While it is important to note important events, we mustn't over flood every single recent years just because internet coverage is at an all time high and we can source everything now. Also by magnitude, then go on, add 7 + magnitude earth quakes on every years over the past 1000 years even those with 0 deaths, (most of them even have sources), why should 2020 and recent years only have the privilege of having every single disasters that occur regardless of the minimal impacts they have, like even if they have 5 people dead from those, I have no problem, add it to all the years you can source them, it would just look like over flooding and not really sensible, but not my headache. Wikipedia has been notorious for letting anybody add whatever they want, while in some cases editors prevent disruptive edits, there are countless articles with misinformation that no one has bothered cleaning up. i will leave 2020 to be just that, a day by day news coverage filled with over flooded information, where everything no matter how minor its actual impact is is added. This is indeed my last message here, feel free to do whatever you want. And thank you for this discussion, good day to all involved. Dilbaggg ( talk) 23:50, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Domestic events were not supposed to be added unless they had significant international coverage, that was the case of the 2002-2016 articles when the recent years policy Wikipedia:Recent years was in effect. But ever since then, every minor political events elections, resignations, etc, keep getting added. This is over flooding the article (like so many political events happened all over the world in 2005 but moist weren't added and removed due to the ry policy and avoided over flooding the articles). The main issue is that this gives a false impression 2020 is more eventful and important than the years 2002-2016 which is not the case. I see User:ProjectHorizons (like with these edits in the 2008 article [2], [3], [4]] still monitoring those articles and cutting down events based on those arguments but does nothing with 2018, 2019 or 2020 which are over flooded with contents that under those arguments lack notability and violates Wikipedia:Recentism.

Why is the Nakhon Ratchasima shooting an internationally significant event? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:05, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
International notability One way to demonstrate the required notability is that the event received independent news reporting from three continents on the event. Events which are not cited at all, or are not linked to an article devoted to the event, may be challenged on the talk page.
This wp:ry is strictly enforced between 2001-2017, and hopefully 2020 isn't forgotten as it falls under wp:ry too. The three continent news coverage should be verified before adding events. Dilbaggg ( talk) 03:47, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I think this disease related events is over flooding this article. For this as per WP:Recentism we can follow the example of Hurricane Katrina from 2005 with the news spike:
"A news spike is a sudden mass interest in any current event, whereupon Wikipedians create and update articles on it, even if some readers later feel that the topic was not historically significant in any way. The result might be a well-written and well-documented neutral-point-of-view article on a topic that might hardly be remembered a month later (see Jennifer Wilbanks and the article's deletion debate). Still, these articles are valuable for future historical research.
An event that occurs in a certain geographic region might come to dominate an entire article about that region. For example, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the New Orleans, Louisiana, article was inundated with day-by-day facts about the hurricane. The solution: an article on the Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans was created to collect this quickly accumulating content."
So we can make a new article consisting all the impacts of coronavirus (e.g. Timeline of the 2020 Coronavirus/Covid-19 Pandemic) as there have been many and there is likely to be many more, and if we add everything here it will just overflood the 2020 article and other "internationally notable events" of the year will not get sufficient priority due to the covid-19 related event flooding. At this stage this seems more like a day by day news coverage than a wikipedia article. This is just my suggesting, I leave it to senior editors that maintained the WP:RY policy between 2002-2017 and 2020 certainly falls under it. Dilbaggg ( talk) 17:32, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Remove the "Antifa led riots" sentence from the May 26th section until it's proven to be the case. No current conclusive evidence that Antifa is a leader or even a large part of the riots exists. The rioting has been largely spontaneous and primarily a response to police actions against peaceful protesters. Furthermore, Antifa is not an organized group, and thus anyone can claim to be antifa if they are against fascism, as it stands for Anti-Fascist.

Should her entry be put up on this page, let alone an image of her? It is my understanding that most Ambassadors and diplomats (unless they are exceptionally well-known and consequential internationally) of any nation aren't considered notable enough to be added to the main yearly page, just as local politicians generally aren't added unless they are heads of state, or heads of government (and maybe Deputy heads). As far as I'm aware, her main claim to (minor) notability is the fact that she was a member of the Kennedy family and the (last surviving) sibling of JFK, RFK and Ted Kennedy. That to me indicates that while her image on "2020 in the United States" would perhaps be warranted, I don't see any reason why she should have her photo up here. -- Thescrubbythug ( talk) 03:35, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

"An attack on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in Karachi leaves eight people dead and seven others injured." Is this notable enough for inclusion? I know this is on (as of the time of this message) the ITN page for the English Wiki but is it notable enough for this page? In my understanding, any attack that is either not internationally significant, historic, and/or deadly (having a death toll of 100+) is not included on this page. Considering this, isn't this insignificant? Best regards, Dantheanimator ( talk) 18:48, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

While I agree that the 100K, 1M, 5M, 10M are important milestone of the disease and worth to be mention it. Is it necessary to mention other COVID-19 milestone figure like 3M, 4M, 6M, 7M, 8M, 9M, 11M ? My opinion is that, this article is describe notable event in year 2020, and the milestone of COVID-19 other than figure like 100K, 1M, 10M are not important and not notable events, and no need to mention it.

The dooms day clock moves every now and then, that doesn't make it notable, also the dooms day clock supposedly predicts an upcoming nuclear disaster or world war 3, but historically it has been extremely inaccurate and useless. The closest a nuclear disaster came to happening was in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis but the clock did not move mush then, rather it moved in 2018 when diplomacy has become an option over outright war in almost everywhere in the world excluding middle east. Take the China-India case, tensions were as high in 2017 as it was in 1962, but where as in 1962 it led to war, it was resolved diplomatically in 2017. Due to nuclear deterrence India and Pakistan did not go to war in 2019, unlike in 1999 when they had the Kargil War, in 2019 were higher but they did not go to war. The dooms day clock has always been misleading, and it keeps changing, as useless it has always been I really do not think it is notable at all. Dilbaggg ( talk) 13:16, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

The Cuba earthquake has 0 deaths (as of now), disasters with 500 + deaths have not been included in the past like the Maharashtra floods of 2005 in the 2005 article, because it was strictly a domestic event. As I used to understand Wikipedia was not a day by day news coverage where people include every minor disasters that happen. Also earthquakes are something that happens all the time, those who knows geology would understand better than me, only those earth quakes above a certain magnitude, like over 5 on Richter scale can be felt. Only those that have severe significance, like 1000 deaths should be included. People now want to add everything now, before 2017 there was a recent year policy where only the most significant events would be added. 2005 had numerous deadly hurricanes but only Katrina was named in the 2005 article. Stan, Rita, etc were not included. In 2005 there were many earth quakes, but only the one in Pakistan with 80,000 + deaths and Indonesia with 1000 + deaths have been included. January 2020 now has almost the same amount of events as the whole year 2005 (only according to wikipedia that is). I hope people do not go adding disasters with less than 100 deaths (1000 preferable but since the recent year policy ended in 2017, at least 100 should be a must). If every single event has to be noted in 2020, then I feel the same should be done for all years 2000-2016 when the recent years policy was in full effect, the senior editors were so strict then and so many notable events had been excluded for being domestic events, having less than 1000 deaths, etc. Regardless I retreat to my main point, I really do not think disasters with less than 100 deaths or without some major internationally significant destruction should not be included. Its an issue of Wikipedia:Recentism. Dilbaggg ( talk) 15:21, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Also I would like to show
[1] as an example. In January 2009 it was overloaded with recent events, but the current
2008 article has been fixed. Only the Chinese earthquake that killed 87,000 is included. But the earth quakes of Japan and Kyrgyzstan with less than 100 deaths are now excluded,
Hurricane Hanna that killed 500 + in Haiti and many other hurricanes except Ike are now excluded (but were included when 2008 was a recent year), as are many more events that are not significant enough. Anyway thats the last thing I would say about it. Its what majority editors decide that matters.

Michael E Nolan 2019 is after the recent year policy ended and Wikipedia:Recentism has been a major issue from articles 2017, 2018, 2019. The policy was in full effect between 2000-2016. The Wikipedia:Recentism still applies though. 7.1 magnitude earthquakes have happened every now and then, there are year articles of 1000s of years, like say AD 102. It is not possible to trace all earthquakes with a 7 and above magnitude to happen and add them, and many such incidents have been excluded between 2000-2016 due to either being domestic events, having very low death toll, etc. for which they weren't considered significant enough. And bar shoot outs, prison riots are less common than earthquakes, unique events get more priority. Like the NK missile test was significant addition before 2017 when it became common and editors decided not to cover them much again due to increased frequency. earthquakes with too few death tolls are too common. But I agree 2017, 2018, 2019 have major Wikipedia:Recentism issues, so thats why I am trying to improve the 2020 article, I hope it does stay Wikipedia standard rather than becoming a day by day news coverage like 2017, 2018 and 2019 appears to be. Dilbaggg ( talk) 22:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
So new editors now will get privileges those between 2002-2016 didn't? Well it was a different thing then when additions keept getting deleted because of the recent year policy considering them insignificant and editors were rather discouraged. Past years like say AD 102 were by no means less eventful than present years, but at that time there was no internet, literacy rate was low, events were not noted on a regular basis, so it will not be possible to find sources to events. I have never ever seen any policy where natural disasters are preferable to man made ones and no policy where an earthquake must be added solely by magnitude rather than death toll (in fact lower magnitude earth quakes cause more damage than higher ones, Lists of earthquakes, the 7.3 in Turkmenistan in 1948 killed 100,000 while the 9.6 one in Chile killed 7000). While it is important to note important events, we mustn't over flood every single recent years just because internet coverage is at an all time high and we can source everything now. Also by magnitude, then go on, add 7 + magnitude earth quakes on every years over the past 1000 years even those with 0 deaths, (most of them even have sources), why should 2020 and recent years only have the privilege of having every single disasters that occur regardless of the minimal impacts they have, like even if they have 5 people dead from those, I have no problem, add it to all the years you can source them, it would just look like over flooding and not really sensible, but not my headache. Wikipedia has been notorious for letting anybody add whatever they want, while in some cases editors prevent disruptive edits, there are countless articles with misinformation that no one has bothered cleaning up. i will leave 2020 to be just that, a day by day news coverage filled with over flooded information, where everything no matter how minor its actual impact is is added. This is indeed my last message here, feel free to do whatever you want. And thank you for this discussion, good day to all involved. Dilbaggg ( talk) 23:50, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Domestic events were not supposed to be added unless they had significant international coverage, that was the case of the 2002-2016 articles when the recent years policy Wikipedia:Recent years was in effect. But ever since then, every minor political events elections, resignations, etc, keep getting added. This is over flooding the article (like so many political events happened all over the world in 2005 but moist weren't added and removed due to the ry policy and avoided over flooding the articles). The main issue is that this gives a false impression 2020 is more eventful and important than the years 2002-2016 which is not the case. I see User:ProjectHorizons (like with these edits in the 2008 article [2], [3], [4]] still monitoring those articles and cutting down events based on those arguments but does nothing with 2018, 2019 or 2020 which are over flooded with contents that under those arguments lack notability and violates Wikipedia:Recentism.

I think this disease related events is over flooding this article. For this as per WP:Recentism we can follow the example of Hurricane Katrina from 2005 with the news spike:
"A news spike is a sudden mass interest in any current event, whereupon Wikipedians create and update articles on it, even if some readers later feel that the topic was not historically significant in any way. The result might be a well-written and well-documented neutral-point-of-view article on a topic that might hardly be remembered a month later (see Jennifer Wilbanks and the article's deletion debate). Still, these articles are valuable for future historical research.
An event that occurs in a certain geographic region might come to dominate an entire article about that region. For example, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the New Orleans, Louisiana, article was inundated with day-by-day facts about the hurricane. The solution: an article on the Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans was created to collect this quickly accumulating content."
So we can make a new article consisting all the impacts of coronavirus (e.g. Timeline of the 2020 Coronavirus/Covid-19 Pandemic) as there have been many and there is likely to be many more, and if we add everything here it will just overflood the 2020 article and other "internationally notable events" of the year will not get sufficient priority due to the covid-19 related event flooding. At this stage this seems more like a day by day news coverage than a wikipedia article. This is just my suggesting, I leave it to senior editors that maintained the WP:RY policy between 2002-2017 and 2020 certainly falls under it. Dilbaggg ( talk) 17:32, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Remove the "Antifa led riots" sentence from the May 26th section until it's proven to be the case. No current conclusive evidence that Antifa is a leader or even a large part of the riots exists. The rioting has been largely spontaneous and primarily a response to police actions against peaceful protesters. Furthermore, Antifa is not an organized group, and thus anyone can claim to be antifa if they are against fascism, as it stands for Anti-Fascist.

Should the planned March on Washington against police brutality be included in the scheduled event? There have been many marches on Washington throughout the past few years, and some of them aren't considered significant so, should this be considered significant?

Should "Queen Elizabeth II gives an address to the nation, just the fifth such event in the monarch's 68-year reign, where she compares social isolation to the world war evacuations, thanks the public for their resilience and the world for unifying." be kept or deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dantheanimator ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
The event on June 6th about the worldwide protests should be removed because its an arbitrary date. You can find sources of protests happening globally from atleast June 1st. I believe that adding to the date of the original domestic event that worldwide protests followed soon is the better approach. Helping6060 ( talk) 11:45, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Yeah that makes sense, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helping6060 ( talk • contribs) 18:38, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
This should be excluded because it was a domestic event. Jim Michael ( talk) 13:53, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

North Korea blew up the Inter-Korean Liaison Office in Kaesong at 2:49pm. The office opened in 2018 2A02:C7D:D67B:4B00:6CBB:5944:4EEF:8585 ( talk) 14:22, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Should her entry be put up on this page, let alone an image of her? It is my understanding that most Ambassadors and diplomats (unless they are exceptionally well-known and consequential internationally) of any nation aren't considered notable enough to be added to the main yearly page, just as local politicians generally aren't added unless they are heads of state, or heads of government (and maybe Deputy heads). As far as I'm aware, her main claim to (minor) notability is the fact that she was a member of the Kennedy family and the (last surviving) sibling of JFK, RFK and Ted Kennedy. That to me indicates that while her image on "2020 in the United States" would perhaps be warranted, I don't see any reason why she should have her photo up here. -- Thescrubbythug ( talk) 03:35, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Surely ontop of the COVID19 pandemic we consider just how factually bad climate change has become? Looking back on things this year should be considered a turning point where our inaction towards climate change is the beginning of the end of human civilization as we know it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.243.178 ( talk) 12:07, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

"An attack on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in Karachi leaves eight people dead and seven others injured." Is this notable enough for inclusion? I know this is on (as of the time of this message) the ITN page for the English Wiki but is it notable enough for this page? In my understanding, any attack that is either not internationally significant, historic, and/or deadly (having a death toll of 100+) is not included on this page. Considering this, isn't this insignificant? Best regards, Dantheanimator ( talk) 18:48, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

The coronavirus case milestone dates should be changed.

Should "The United Kingdom goes into lockdown to contain COVID-19." be included on the 2020 page? Almost every country in the world has had or still has a lock-down so, what makes this notable? Also consider that the U.S.'s lock-down and other major countries lock-downs are not included on this page, so simply saying that the UK is important is not enough.

Can we add Michael Angelis to the list of deaths? /info/en/?search=Michael_Angelis 81.101.15.25 ( talk) 21:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC) 81.101.15.25 ( talk) 21:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
While I agree that the 100K, 1M, 5M, 10M are important milestone of the disease and worth to be mention it. Is it necessary to mention other COVID-19 milestone figure like 3M, 4M, 6M, 7M, 8M, 9M, 11M ? My opinion is that, this article is describe notable event in year 2020, and the milestone of COVID-19 other than figure like 100K, 1M, 10M are not important and not notable events, and no need to mention it.
