Talk:1991

message: There is a discussion on my talk page on page layout. 
For most of the last three hundred years there is inconsistency and duplication between the year in topic paragraph, the "see also" box and what is on the year by topic pages. Prior to 1950 I am pretty convinced we can painlessly (except for sore fingers) delete all of the year in topic paragraphs and ensure that the material goes into a "see also" box, creating such a box where none exists. Post 1950, particularly from the "year in US television" link a lot of material has been added to this paragraph as highlights (sometimes making up most of the page content pointed at). 
Personally I think we should still delete the paragraph, keep the box linking to the topic sites and move any particularly important parts of the year in topic paragraph to the main chronological list. This does involve undoing quite a bit of work which someone has done. 
Therefore, unlike for prior to 1950 (where I've said no objection= I do it) for post 1950 I won't touch these pages unless a significant number of people agree with the change. (I am also unlikely to get the pre 1950 stuff done before summer unless the service speed improves dramatically). talk--BozMo 13:44, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

message: This was a recently added event for April 15, a TV show ended, I've added a wikilink but I'm not sure if it's notable enough to keep. Any thoughts? It has its own wikipedia article, but that doesn't always make it notable. JoeyETS 01:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: You are correct; I just came to the talk for this article just to mention that (999 and 1000 make good close examples as well). Eouw0o83hf 13:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: * June 3 – Andy Milligan, American screenwriter, actor, and filmmaker (b. 1929)
* June 4 – MC Trouble, American rapper (b. 1970)
* June 8
** Mary Bacon, American jockey (b. 1948)
** Bertice Reading, American singer and actress (b. 1933)
I don't really see international significance for any of them.  
* Andy Milligan is listed as a screenwriter for a number of films, but I'm not convinced he's the screenwriter, nor that the films are notable.
* MC Trouble may be the first female rapper who charted (in US charts), but I'm not convinced that's internationally significant.

message: Regarding this revert of my edit, please could someone tell me where it specifies that people have to be "internationally notable" (not just Wikipedia notable) to have their birth added here. Once I am aware of the criteria, it will prevent me from adding inappropriate entries in future. --Jameboy (talk) 17:43, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: See many discussions above. Did you think that the year article was meant to include everyone born in that year who has a Wikipedia article? Deb (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that was my expectation. Wikipedia:WikiProject Years#Births section, which I assume is the relevant guideline(?), states "The Births section lists notable births in that year, divided into month sections. Each entry links to the day page, has a very short description of the person, and links to the death year if known." It doesn't mention anything about international notability or what that entails. --Jameboy (talk) 20:05, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: When you think about it, though, that would mean that the article would include everything that now appears in both :Category:1991 births and :Category:1991 deaths as well as every event that is listed in every individual month article for 1991. Such an article would not be navigable. Unfortunately we have never been able to agree a set of written criteria for inclusion. Wandy Peralta appears to be a pretty minor figure in the context of the 200+ baseball players listed in 1991 in baseball as having been born that year. Deb (talk) 08:43, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

text: , I'd just add that there is plenty of work to be done on these articles if you want to contribute. For a start, entries in the day and year articles are now supposed to be accompanied by citations (same is true for Year in baseball articles), and most of the existing ones aren't. It's going to take forever to do this, so the more people who work on it, the better. Deb (talk) 10:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Fair. I'll look at adding some citations when I get a chance. I'll give more thought to the question of notability but I won't add any new people for now. --Jameboy (talk) 21:55, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
