BroadwayWest insists on including
the closing of CBGB as a significant event, arguing "CBGBs has a global reputation as the venue launched punk and the international careers of Blondie, The Ramones, Television, Talking Heads et al, and probably has greater cultural significance than, say, Aleksandër Moisiu University, Albania
". While the event undoubtedly had great cultural significance in the US, I don't think it's sufficiently international. Because
BroadwayWest has edit-warred this content in, I haven't removed it, but at the very least, we would need some sources to the international significance of the event. --

I do not believe Nina Schenk Gräfin von Stauffenberg, Lillian Asplund, and Wolfgang Přiklopil pass the criteria to be added to the deaths section. It is generally accepted that people only known for being a supercentenarian fail the criteria to be added. Does this apply for people who are only known for being the wife of someone else, or for being a survivor of the Titanic? Přiklopil doesn't even have his own article. ProjectHorizons ( talk) 02:24, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Persons whose notability is due to circumstance rather than actual achievement (e.g. oldest person in the world or last surviving person of [x]) do not meet the basic requirement for inclusion.And if someone doesn't have their own article, they certainly don't meet the criteria.

I've cleared out a few images which cause the images to extend beyond the bottom of the month (or, in one case, year). There is an IP cluster who has already added images to December deaths 3 times. I need help, here. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:02, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

@ Ifnord: all three are contentious political topics that fall outside of the new bounds for Xinhua set less than a month ago. We do need a better source, it was ok when added but our assessment of Xinhua has changed dramatically. Horse Eye's Back ( talk) 19:42, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
There is consensus that Xinhua News Agency is generally reliable for factual reporting except in areas where the Government of China may have a reason to use it for propaganda or disinformation.You can also look through the comments again, and specifically the discussions about whether there are actually any examples of Xinhua publishing false information. The closest example that was given was Xinhua publishing an estimate of the turnout for a demonstration that was given by the organizers, without attributing it to the organizers. That's a pretty minor problem, and I was honestly surprised by the fact that nothing more serious could be identified by any of the participants in the RfC. That's probably why the close noted consensus that Xinhua is generally reliable for most subjects. The caveat about use for propaganda or disinformation is based on entirely theoretical concerns about what Xinhua might do, not what it has done. When evaluating whether to use Xinhua for a given subject, there should be concrete concerns about propaganda/disinformation before Xinhua is ruled out as a source. - Thucydides411 ( talk) 16:31, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Give your opinion on what topics should be included in the 06' collage and what should be left out. making this talk sections cuz i don't know what to put on this collage
feel free to add a subject, I wonder what @ The ganymedian: thinks about this, he's the person who makes the image collages of 2005, and 2008 - 2018. I also want to see what the regulars think, AKA @ Wjfox2005:, @ PaulRKil:, @ Jim Michael 2:, @ InvadingInvader:, and @ MrMimikyu1998:. also is there anything you would change on the other years collages. 4me689 ( talk) 17:05, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Please let me know if anyone has any disagreements on the images included in the collage, and I will put it up for vote. Thanks The ganymedian ( talk) 22:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Can someone please find a reliable source for the launch of the Wii? Cause it just seems weird to me that there is a photo of the Wii on the top of this page and yet its launch isn't listed in events. NintendoTTTEfan2005 ( talk) 10:23, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Years#Lead_image, a discussion on whether to depreciate collages in general in going on. Please share your thoughts. Koopinator ( talk) 07:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Does anyone here think it's notable for 2006 alone? There were lots of cases in the past where individual video games were removed from year articles because they're not notable enough. Also scroll up in this talk page to see people talking about if another thing video-game related, the Wii, belongs on this article or not. At least Wii was popular from the beginning, but Roblox wasn't that popular when it first came out. 35.141.142.199 ( talk) 22:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
@ User:ItsCheck are you ready to discuss this? If not now, then when? 35.141.142.199 ( talk) 01:34, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Roblox may be popular, but it wasn't popular when it was first released. It didn't reach peak popularity until the late 2010s. Does it belong here? 35.141.142.199 ( talk) 02:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
