1992
this is ridiciulous, if this kept that we should create articles for every year between now and the dawn of time, merge with 20th century please--Repomec 18:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not sure if it can be speedied if assuming good faith, but there's no basis for deletion here. Repomec, if you want to create a separate article for years back to the dawn of time, feel free. If not, that doesn't mean we delete the ones that already exist. Kafziel 18:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. There are articles for every year between now and, if not the dawn of time, a long time ago. For other examples, see 873, 1219, 1992 and indeed any other number between 0 and 2006. Trebor 18:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, there is strong precedent for articles on specific years being included in Wikipedia.--Isotope23 18:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Why do you want to delete 1992, but not 1993 or 1991? As said above, there are articles for every year, or virtually so.  At first this seems odd, but events don't happen in a vacuum, and if you were researching, say, the Iraq Disarmament Crisis, it might be useful to see what else was happening at the time.
 * Speedy Keep my guess is this is vandalism, the nominator has no other contribs except to have this year deleted. Markeer 18:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep wikilinking to years (to give era-dependent context) is an important part of many Wikipedia articles. It's often overused, but can be very interesting and useful. -- Scientizzle 18:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
