9560 BC
Just because Atlantis sunk in 9560 BC doesn't mean that the date deserves its own article. Nothing else happened of note in this year. ral 315  04:23, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * 9560 was also the year that Isildur seized the One Ring from Sauron, but uh, I can't really verify that. As for the Atlantis stuff, the year 9560 is already mentioned in the Atlantis article.  Delete --Alan Au 04:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Contents are unverifiable. --Carnildo 05:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's a year, and all years have their own article in Wikipedia. Wikinerd 06:58, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Unofficial English wikipedia policy is to have pages for individual years as far back as 499 BC; earlier "year" pages redirect to the corresponding decade. For example 753 BC redirects to 750s BC. Likewise, there are pages for individual decades as far back as 1690s BC; earlier "decade" pages redirect to the corresponding century, and there are century pages as far back as 40th century BC. Perhaps the information could be moved to 10th millennium BC... Bluap 09:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. See User:Carnildo above. brozen 07:45, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, how can this event be verifiable if the location and even the existence of Atlantis is disputed? - Mgm|(talk) 08:21, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Carnildo and Mgm. The article itself states that it's making assumptions about the accuracy of what looks like a suspiciously-round number stated by Plato. Tonywalton | Talk 14:55, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Timeline of fictional historical events per votes below. Tonywalton | Talk 22:01, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Taking Plato literally? Presumably if Plato had made the same estimate a year later this page would be at 9559 BC? That's not very useful. Delete. Flowerparty  talk 18:08, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm, he wasn't alive in 560BC. Flowerparty  talk 18:25, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with 20th century BC, even if event is fictional it still corresponds with a date in history Guerberj 20:34, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge content into Timeline of fictional historical events. Then redirect title to 40th century BC. DES (talk) 21:56, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge but I'm unclear why this isn't going into 96th century BC instead of 40th (4100s BC?)or 20th (2100s BC?). JDoorjam 22:36, 18 August 2005 (UTC) per Bluap. JDoorjam 22:37, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As per DES, merge content into Timeline of fictional historical events, then redirect title to 40th century BC. Jonathunder 01:57, 2005 August 20 (UTC)
 * Agreeing with Jonathunder, merge and redirect. --Agamemnon2 15:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment 9560BC is not in the 40th century BC. It is actually in the 96th century BC. Bluap 09:46, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the year once something verifiable has been found in it or somebody shows verifiable proof of Atlantis. Until then, Delete. Karmafist 15:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
