Wikipedia:Notability (years)
 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
A year (including past, current, and future years) is notable if there are a significant number of notable events occurring or scheduled to occur within the year, which can be accurately dated to that year and are verifiable.
Splitting off by topic
[edit]In some cases, there are so many important events in a given year in a given field that the year article becomes excessively long. Splitting among topics may be justified (e.g., 1892 in music). The notability guidelines for the specific topics should be observed.
Fiction
[edit]Fictional references to a past or future years are not enough to justify having an article about a year. See also WP:FICTION
