Talk:1944

message: A seach on the internet suggests that other sources agree with the Wikipedia article on Nelson - that his 11 consecutive tour wins came in 1945, not 1944 (e.g. 
CNNSI, GolfDigest. So I'm removing the reference to this from the 1944 article. Average Earthman 12:19, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Byron Nelson]] 

message: If we were to list every birth and death in 1944, this would end up as an extremely long section. So I think we should be restrained in what we list - only very well-known and respected actors, for example, rather than every actor with some minor roles in a few well known films. So for example Danny DeVito yes, Al Matthews, no. Average Earthman 13:46, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Al Matthews, who is alive, wasn't born in 1944. Therefore he should definitely not be on this article. Information yes (talk) 08:52, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Oh yes, absolutely. There is also a discussion in next section where I strongly agree with  Mel Etitis. My very best wishes (talk) 19:13, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Births and Deaths 

message: I disagree that dates for certain people should be deleted because their notability may not come up to one person's standards.
If you start removing the connections between dates, names, places, etc. then you lose one of the corner-stones of the internet itself.  The research into one thing would not tie into anything else if you removed all links to related information.  This reduces the functionality of the internet.
Also, who are we to determine a person's worth?  A person's work may not have a significant bearing on your life but it doesn't mean that their influence didn't reach someone else.  A little known author could have influenced many people who went on to bigger things.
* Well, you can disagree, but you're wrong. Haven't you noticed what the problem with the internet is? It's not that the internet doesn't have the information, it is that it is so damn hard to find it (Google didn't get worth so much for nothing you know). So if you choose to fill every article with links to every single person and thing that is conceivably linked to it, you get the same problem - it's now such an overlong and overcomplicated article that it is utterly unwieldy and practically useless. Hence my suggestion for selectivity - if you want an article listing every birth in 1944, create a Births in 1944 article. As for a person's worth - that has been stated on numerous occasions in the votes for deletion and other similar discussions  we don't just include everyone. But I'm not talking about deleting articles here, only keeping them in some form of usable state. Average Earthman 18:46, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: We've already got long lists of 1944 births and deaths - they're on :Category:1944 births and :Category:1944 deaths. I've added links to these, jguk 13:47, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is the line? 

message: OK, I'm commenting on Al Matthews again - but this time for a different reason. Apparently, rumours of his death were greatly exaggerated. So I've removed the entry. Average Earthman 12:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: There are many instances now, wherein 1944 is the sole title of a work. There's now an album, a film, and a song. -Mardus /talk 06:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
