Solar eclipse of December 13, 1898

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails GNG: The eclipse only occurred in the sea near Antarctica, and it is unlikely that anyone saw the eclipse at that time. Likewise, history does not record this eclipse, and this eclipse has no scientific value. Therefore, this eclipse is not of notability, and therefore the references in the entry do not prove notability, i.e., they do not constitute a valid introduction.

 * Keep - it's a documented event, within a eclipse series, Solar Saros 111. Tom Ruen (talk) 02:35, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not an astronomical database; and as can be seen solar eclipses happen frequently. The only sources for this are all-inclusive catalogues, which is well short of the WP:GNG required. it's a documented event, within a eclipse series is essentially WP:BUTITEXISTS.

 * Delete – Per WP:NOTDATABASE, strongly agreeing with . The fact that NASA can seemingly run back the clock and document every solar eclipse within the last 1000 years doesn't make any of them indivudally notable unless there are other factors at play like historical, cultural, or scientific relevance (as attested to by reliable, independent sources). I was originally going to propose redirecting to Solar Saros 111, but there's no reason to have that much clutter in the search bar with hundreds of – what amount to – spam articles about solar eclipses.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
