 * Delete as the criterion is too nebulous and subjective: Who gets to decide what constitutes a "major event"? For example, Charles Ponzi's death hardly seems to qualify IMO. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lack of any criteria for inclusion, no rationale for selection of the listed dead. WWGB (talk) 09:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. No real inclusion criteria. Redundant to Lists of deaths by year. Ajf773 (talk) 10:01, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Indiscriminate, no WP:LISTN.
 * Delete: notability of deaths per century is extremely subjective, if we're going to catalogue them we need to do it in a neutral way, which we coincidentally do, at Category:20th-century deaths.   SITH   (talk)   14:06, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete subjective and redundant. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 15:46, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete was created as a spin-off from Timeline of the 20th century. Subjective is accurate.  Entirely unnecessary and redundant to the per-year lists of deaths. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:48, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
