2164
Truly uninspiring article. Wait 150 years and we will need this space SqueakBox 02:31, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep on basis that there are other years articles this far ahead. This just needs to be expanded and formatted to be in line with similar articles. 23skidoo 03:03, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nothing special in the real world about this year as of yet, and this statement violates WP:NOT a crystal ball. humblefool&reg; 03:12, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete lack of content --Porturology 03:58, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - articles that we (have/should have) on distant future years have astronomical certainties to them. Having an approximate time of a fictional event is not enough for a distant future year.  The information is fine in the main article for the work of fiction in question, but there is no need for it to constitute a year article. -- Jonel | Speak 04:46, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That was my reason for voting keep. If someone can dig up astronomical predictions and the like then the article is saveable. 23skidoo 05:28, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete becuase even the sole fictional event listed herein is not fictionally certain to happen in the year listed... merge info with Timeline of fictional future events, per K1Bond007. -- BD2412 talk June 28, 2005 03:30 (UTC)

 * As BD2412 says, the only evidence is that in The Dalek Invasion of Earth the Doctor finds a calendar for 2164. That means that the events take place no earlier than 2164.  All of this is mentioned in the article on the film, and timeline of fictional future events already has the invasion date as "~2154".  Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, especially when the predicted future event is as clearly made up as this one is.  Bearing in mind what I said about Doctor Who being vastly under-represented in Votes for deletion/Timeline of fictional historical events, Timeline of fictional future events and dates being picked purely for whimsical value (2164 is simply 200 years on from the series' air date of 1964.), adjust the link in The Dalek Invasion of Earth to point directly to timeline of fictional future events and Redirect to 22nd century as many other such year articles do (Special:Whatlinkshere/22nd century).

 * Keep. Unless you believe that an apocalypse is due soon, we can be pretty sure that a year titled 2164 is going to happen.  Almafeta 29 June 2005 19:30 (UTC)
 * But we can also be pretty sure that the fictional events described in the article are not going to happen. We don't have empty articles for other years in the future.  Uncle G July 1, 2005 10:49 (UTC)
