Missing women
Entry for
 * May 6 – Three women, missing for more than nine years, are found alive in Cleveland, Ohio. Police arrest Ariel Castro, their abductor, later that day.

Why is this internationally notable? We don't even have a Wikipedia article on the subject, unless you count Ariel Castro. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:04, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * It’s not every day that a long-term missing persons case gets solved, let alone three missing persons cases on the same day. Amanda and Gina were in the news time and time again during their missing years. Bolt Strike (talk) 16:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think this should be removed as local news. — Yerpo Eh? 20:17, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * It's a domestic event for 2013 in the United States. Jim Michael (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Demographics of Brazil
I removed Brazil reaching 200m inhabitants, yet was reverted. We don't list the other countries reaching 200m, nor should we. There's nothing special about that number & nothing happened as a result of it being reached. There are hundreds of instances of countries reaching population milestones (10m, 20m, 50m, 100m, 300m etc.). They're domestic events which have no place on main year articles. It should be 2013 in Brazil, yet it isn't. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 16:53, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Date format
I would also like to suggest changing the date format of this article to the DMY format (e.g. 6 June 2020 as opposed to June 6, 2020). The DMY format seems more international and more suitable for a "global" article like. Also DMY simply makes more sense as it goes from smallest to highest.

At the village pump, I've presented a proposal to establish a standard to use DMY in general for all articles about "generic" years. The discussion got kind of messy however, and I'll propaly restart it at some point. In the meantime, I would like it to create consensus about changing it for specifically this and all other nine articles about the 2010s--Marginataen (talk) 16:13, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
