1888 in Germany

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Only has two facts so should be merged into 1888 yutsi (talk) 19:07, 21 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD. The subject is already covered entirely by Year of the Three Emperors, and this would probably not be a plausible redirect. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 19:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I contend that the article would've been a valid A10 case in its previous state, but given the changes to the article and the comments below, I now feel that the article ought to be kept. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 04:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per above, and lack of content. RadManCF (talk) 19:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 *  Delete comment xxxx in germany goes back currently to 2006. it would need to be built backwards from that year at least somewhat, to justify this article even as a placeholder. however, if standard policy, or consensus, tends towards keeping this and building up the list, ok.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I declined the speedy, because I do not think it was a valid use of A10, this is part of a series--that many other articles in the series have not been written yet does not matter, because we have to start somewhere. It's easily expanded, and I have done so, with 3 unrelated events, so the deletion reason is  no longer valid.      DGG ( talk ) 00:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per the expansion done by DGG. At worst, merge into article 1880s in Germany.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:42, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment is there a "WikiAlmanac" to transwiki this to? 70.29.210.242 (talk) 10:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Yes, there is a "WikiAlmanac". It's known as "Wikipedia", per the first of the five pillars. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep This is part of a series. If it should be deleted, then perhaps that should be done by admin with all such similar articles. --Mloafness (talk) 11:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG's expansion. If broader discussion on the merits of "Year in Place" articles is warranted, we should have that discussion at the Village Pump, WT:AFD, or an RFC of some sort. We're seeing a few of these nominated each week - a few with merit, others not - and it might be worth looking at. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:08, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty added and plenty more to be added and is part of an expanding series. Keresaspa (talk) 20:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep We have pages just like that for the United States, UK, etc, why not Germany? AbbaIkea2010 (talk) 22:47, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
