Days in years

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

We no longer seem to use this style of pages for the current events anymore as we used to, yet these were created after the transistion. I propose we delete them all, or redirect them to the relevant Current Events portal page. Most of these were actually recently created by one user, wo tried to bluelink incorrectly formatted dates. There are also April 1, 2006, April 1, 2007 and December 31, 2006, but we might actually wanna keep those because their content differs significantly in style compared to the current events pages. Whatever we do, someone of course needs to check if some of the information in the pages should be moved to the Current events pages. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 04:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete or transwiki to Wikinews these are nothing but digests of headlines and opinion on the days in question, we have (rightly so) very few precise dates as articles, and as near as I can tell these mostly redirect to the event that makes the date itself so memorable: September 11, 2001 and December 7, 1941 are two examples. Nothing sooooo notable happened on any of these dates that a redirect from the date to the event would be correct, so transfer whatever sourced content there is to wikinews, if they want it, and delete it here as nonencyclopedic.

 * Comment looking back in our history, I suggest all titles are redirect to the relevant "month year" pages, which seems to be the most common practise. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems a sensible solution; otherwise these types of articles will proliferate; there is already a huge bias to the recent. Carlossuarez46 16:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Herostratus 17:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per TheDJ, but possibly to the individual day pages as opposed to the month/year pages. JCO312 16:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
