[edit] Notable?

From WP:DOY:

What is not notable
* In general, events that would not be of interest globally/that do not have an impact
on more than one country
*Founding or openings of institutions/buildings that lack global significance or are not the
first of their kind, such as foundings of random universities, schools, museums, businesses,
or stores 
*Dates that pertain to television programs, movies, books, video games, etc. - this is not
notable on a global scale (exceptions include the breaking of world records for sales, etc.) 

Based on these shouldn't these be removed?:

• 1925 - Pionerskaya Pravda, one of the oldest children's newspapers in Europe, is founded.

• 1856 - The University of Maryland, College Park is chartered as the Maryland Agricultural College.

• 1970 - Suspected murderer Charles Manson releases Lie: The Love & Terror Cult to help finance his defense.
