 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Only page about a century on Wikipedia that is titled as such. Georgia guy (talk) 20:52, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as a disambiguation page, like 1700s.  Grsz  talk  21:07, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't understand the reasoning for deletion. See 1600s, 1500s, 1400s, etc.   Corvus cornix  talk  21:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Most decade articles are on titles like 1920s. Why do decade articles ending in 00's get to be inconsistent?? (Note that all of those links Corvus Cornix put above were very recent and done by User:Dank55. Georgia guy (talk) 21:28, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Because the 1800s refers not only to the decade, but the century. This pages is a disambig between the two. The alternate is 1800s (decade).  Grsz  talk  21:33, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * But when was there a consensus not to have the decade page at 1800s?? Georgia guy (talk) 21:44, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think a few days ago, at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(numbers_and_dates). — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 00:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - poor rationale. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - seems to me that this is more of a content dispute. Amiright? Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - this is work in progress. Certainly there needs to be something at 1800s, and it certainly shouldn't be a decade like it was (Wikipedia doesn't reinvent the English language), but exactly what form this will take will be arrived at by consensus. Other pages (1700s etc.) will then follow the same format.--Kotniski (talk) 09:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
