[edit] June 30, 2003

June 30, 2003 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

It's an article concerning a date that's essentially a duplicate of the information in 2003 and June 30. STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 21:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Strong delete per nom. We have articles on dates, and on years, but not on individual dates in individual years, and there's no reason why we should change that.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Strong delete- Poor execution and there are several websites that cover this very thing. Golgofrinchian (talk) 22:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Should I just nominate this for speedy deletion? STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 22:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Under what criteria? --Pixelface (talk) 22:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment, not sure about this. I was unaware of Category:Days in 2003, Category:Days in 2004, Category:Days in 2005, Category:Days in 2006, and Category:Days in 2007 until now. --Pixelface (talk) 22:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete needless, unjustified. JJL (talk) 22:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment, this may be related to pages in the Current events portal (or an attempt to turn them into articles). --Pixelface (talk) 22:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Move this article into the Portal:Current events namespace (much like Portal:Current events/2008 March 9). And I would support a similar move of every article in Category:Days in 2003, Category:Days in 2004, Category:Days in 2005, Category:Days in 2006, and Category:Days in 2007 as well). --Pixelface (talk) 22:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment, this article is actually transcluded onto June 2003 so I'm unsure of a move at this point. --Pixelface (talk) 23:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Now I see the tremendous amount of similar articles in the category. What do we do? Do we enlist a committee to move all these things into the appropriate corresponding year articles? STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 23:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment.This has come up frequently in the past (not necessarily this precise day article,but severalof them have).It seems that there was an experiment with creating individual day articles over the course of the last few years that has now stopped - individual days were ranscluded onto month articles. If you wan to delete this one, you'll have to address the whole lot, and that'll need more than a simple afd. Grutness...wha? 00:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

So how do we deal with this giant thing? STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 00:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd suggest that it might be best to start a discussion on these pages in general at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion, and posting a link to that discussion at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Grutness...wha? 05:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Merge I say we merge with June 30th. Kimu 03:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• I already merged it. STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 20:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• comment I have posted a centralized discussion at Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Removal of many individual date articles. STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 20:56, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. If one wished to use Wikipedia to look up a certain date,in this case June 30, 2003,it would be in the articles 2003 or June 30. 99.230.152.143 (talk) 01:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

• comment By-the-by,shouldn't you list all the other articles in the category "Days in 2003"? If you don't know how,then you should read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list multiple related pages for deletion. 99.230.152.143 (talk) 01:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I know how to do that; somebody else suggested that because of the immense amount of these articles, I should post a centralized discussion (see above) STYROFOAM1994^talkReview me! 01:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
