Fails GNG: The eclipse only occurred in the sea near Antarctica, and this time it was so small that it had completely no scientific value. Therefore, this eclipse is not of notability, and therefore the references in the entry do not prove notability, i.e., they do not constitute a valid introduction.

- Delete Wikipedia is
not an astronomical database; and as can be seen solar eclipses happen frequently. The only sources for this are all-inclusive catalogues, which is well short of the
WP:GNG required.

is essentially WP:BUTITEXISTS. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 13:45, 9 June 2022 (UTC) - Redirect to List of solar eclipses in the 20th century. Praemonitus ( talk) 00:57, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete – Per WP:NOTDATABASE, strongly agreeing with RandomCanadian. The fact that NASA can seemingly run back the clock and document every solar eclipse within the last 1000 years doesn't make any of them indivudally notable unless there are other factors at play like historical, cultural, or scientific relevance (as attested to by reliable, independent sources). I was originally going to propose redirecting to Solar Saros 111, but there's no reason to have that much clutter in the search bar with hundreds of – what amount to – spam articles about solar eclipses.
