No real evidence of notability; WP:BEFORE similarly turned up no reliable sources. User Serendipodous did a BEFORE while merging several stubs into Timeline of the far future and also found no RS. Sources are YouTube, source code used for original research, a passing mention in an article on the Clock of the Long Now, and a single-sentence software documentation (for GNU Fortran) that merely defines the problem. The last AfD in January 2008 mentioned no sources that prove notability. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 14:58, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

- Merge into time formatting and storage bugs which treats the issue more generally, along with all the other possibilities. Andrew🐉( talk) 15:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Merge into time formatting and storage bugs - the topic would be best covered there. Foxnpichu ( talk) 10:24, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Merge into time formatting and storage bugs per above, the article is not notable by itself and time formatting and storage bugs is a good redirect target. Footlessmouse ( talk) 18:21, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Heh, I know personally of several systems with this problem (they all use 8 chars to encode dates, with fixed positions for each field). However, the likelihood of these systems surviving to 3,000 let alone 10,000 is very low.-- Mvqr ( talk) 11:23, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Merge with time formatting and storage bugs : as above // Timothy :: talk 16:52, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
