Suggestion: Defenestrations of Prague - precipitate of the Thirty Years' War. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.24.84.55 ( talk • contribs) 2006 January 16.
Another suggestion: 1945 : End of the Flensburg government under Reichspräsident Karl Dönitz. -- PFHLai 21:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I added the assassination of Giovanni Falcone one of the two most prominent anti-mafia prosecutors of the 20th century (the other one, Paolo Borsellino will be killed the same year, less than two months after Falcone's death). This year marks the 20th anniversary of the killing of Falcone and Borsellino. -- DarTar ( talk) 20:44, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Seriously. Local news, nobody died. This is barely notable, and certainly not a major historical event that should ever make it to SA. If we want to be US centric, 2015 Texas–Oklahoma flood and tornado outbreak, while local news too, at least had some casualties and it is plausible it was reported in international media. The terrorist bombings in Syria had double the death toll, but of course, it's Syria, so there's no dedicated article yet. Or we could mention the Good Friday Agreement, an event which, unlike this ridiculous bridge collapse, is mentioned in history books. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:48, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Per discussion above, I think this event does not rise the level of importance that merits its inclusion in 'On this day...'. User:Howcheng disagrees. We clearly need more input, since in the past year nobody else commented here. TIA. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:53, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

The Aromanian National Day, celebrated on 23 May, has a well-referenced article that also explains why it is celebrated. It is also an official holiday in North Macedonia. If it is included, it can be either displayed as "Aromanian National Day in North Macedonia" or simply as "Aromanian National Day" without specifying any country. I prefer the latter since Aromanians from other countries also celebrate this holiday on this day. Super Ψ Dro 11:58, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
