Even-numbered common year

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Completely non-notable, in that I cannot find a single source, RS or otherwise, discussing this as a concept; nor has even one been cited in the article. That's to say nothing of the arbitrariness of the subject, in the first place. Fails possibly any number of things, but I'm moving this on the basis of WP:GNG failure. (And I now realise I don't even know how to delsort this!) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:40, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * PS: For this one's cousin(s), see Articles for deletion/Common year where year divided by 4 has a remainder of 1. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:42, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

 * An article started today, in 2021, tells us with a straight face that the most recent evenly-numbered year was 2018. Writing an entire year out of Wikipedia seems rather an extreme reaction to COVID-19.  &#9786; Uncle G (talk) 17:12, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Common year, not just year. The year 2020 was a leap year. TompaDompa (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Not according to the article, which tells us about "end of century leap years that are common years" and cannot be using that definition. &#9786; Uncle G (talk) 22:46, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - this is already covered in common year in as much detail as needed. Either redirect this or just delete it, there's no need for a separate article. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:13, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable topic/list, not sure what the purpose of these articles are, or why we have had ones such as Common year starting with Monday/Tuesday/ect... WikiVirusC (talk) 17:27, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it might be time to start another AfD for:• Common year starting on Sunday

• Common year starting on Saturday

• Common year starting on Friday

• Common year starting on Thursday

• Common year starting on Wednesday

• Common year starting on Tuesday

• Common year starting on Monday

• Leap year starting on Sunday

• Leap year starting on Saturday

• Leap year starting on Friday

• Leap year starting on Thursday

• Leap year starting on Wednesday

• Leap year starting on Tuesday

• Leap year starting on MondayOr perhaps redirect them all to Dominical letter. — MarkH21talk 19:45, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Those articles are linked from the introduction section of many year articles and give the week pattern for that year's calendar, which isn't totally useless. —Kusma (t·c) 08:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * These are like WikiProject Time. Would you like to include it in WikiProject Mathematics ?--SilverMatsu (talk) 13:13, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Both articles violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE fails and WP:GNG. We don't even need an article for numbers that are congruent to 2 modulo 4, let alone years. There is the faintest alternative to deletion as a redirect to common year, but I doubt that this is a common search term and that the redirect would be useful. — MarkH21talk 19:39, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely non-notable, no sources. BlueMoon65625 (talk) 06:27, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Reluctant Delete It's a good title, but goes downhill from there, inversely proportional-like to "Man on the Silver Mountain". InedibleHulk (talk) 06:37, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, no point having this in addition to common year. —Kusma (t·c) 08:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
