Wikipedia:Notability (years)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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
