1st Decamillennium

It has zero sources. It seems unlikely to get any; there isn't even a page for the concept of a "decamillennium". I draftified it but the creator brought it right back to article space. AntiDionysius (talk) 06:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete Nothing to merge, and while I suppose there might be an argument to redirect to Detailed logarithmic timeline or timeline of the far future or something related, I just have a hard time believing that anyone is going to search using this, which leaves deletion as the only suitable option. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:A108:2D79:9941:4429 (talk) 07:39, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If Indian English takes over primary status for the next 8 thousand years it would surely be a decilahkennium anyway. &#9786; "decamillennium" is not a neologism, but as mentioned no-one yet really demarcates history by this specific decamillennium, whose start point is proleptic and ahistoric and whose end point is speculative.  We have Category:Millennia with articles for the ways in which people do demarcate history. When people write of decamillennia, a quick search indicates, they are writing of things happening 10ka ago or of things that happen once in such a length of time, not about this specific time period.  The turn of the year 10,000 gets some attention, but that's not because it's a time period, and we already have the much-misnamed millennium bug for dealing with that.
