Wikipedia:Notability (years)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This proposal has failed to attain consensus within the Wikipedia community. A failed proposal is one for which a consensus to accept is not present after a reasonable amount of time, and seems unlikely to form, regardless of continuing discussion.

A year (including past, current, and future years) is notable if there are a significant number of notable events occurring or scheduled to occur within the year, which can be accurately dated to that year and are verifiable.

[edit] Splitting off by topic

In some cases, there are so many important events in a given year in a given field that the year article becomes excessively long. Splitting among topics may be justified (e.g., 1892 in music). The notability guidelines for the specific topics should be observed.

[edit] Fiction

Fictional references to a past or future years are not enough to justify having an article about a year. See also WP:FICTION
