My girlfriend in my freshman year of college was from Plano, Texas. She was out of her fucking mind. Anyway, there's like two hundred fifty thousand people there. It's the size of Reno. And we have an article on University of Nevada, Reno. Which isn't a great article, but its section on athletics is top-notch. What was I talking about?

Comment, just to be clear here, the size of the city or whether I've heard of it or not is hardly a reason to delete. The reason to delete is the content, which I think is really not good. -RAHB 06:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

{{AAP}} is intended to be placed directly on the article, while {{reqphoto}} is designed to be placed on the corresponding talk page. Do we need such a template for talk pages?

This is just me further elaborating why the timeline needs to be huffed (other than the exceptions which have already been pointed out): The timeline is no doubt one of the most popular sections of the site (Well, that what this page claims. See how eight or so of the articles in the timeline are in the top 500?) which means it is likely to be one of the first things people see when they come here. If I were a noob and one of these pages was the first thing I see, I'd think either, "Hey, this site likes my random jokes about celebrities and Pokemon! I'm gonna edit a bunch of pages to have this stuff!", or, "What the hell?! This site is for stupid middle schoolers who just say poorly thought out jokes about penises and Paris Hilton or who steal all their jokes from Family Guy and South Park without being funny! I mean, Family Guy is a good show (not so much South Park, though), but these fucking kids ruin it! Also, CHUCK NORRIS IS NOT FUNNY!". So this is either a festering ground for unfunny memes which leak out to the rest of the site or a deterrent for potential readers/editors that we want. A rewrite of these articles won't be done, or at least won't be done with any of what is there, so why not delete it? Guild may be interested in writing a brief history of time (Damn Stephen Hawking and his running over of people's cats!), which can replace the timeline. Okay, that's all I have to say... I rest my poorly worded case. MegaPleb•Dexter111344•Complain here 20:27, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I agree. I also think if somebody has put honest hard effort into an article then maybe it should be treated more sympatherically. These timeline articles have no care taken on them. Just random people spewing a quick random, badly conceived spunk puddle. mAttlobster. (hello) 21:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
The reason these pages appear so high on that list is because pretty much any article with a number for a title redirects to its respective year on the timeline. •Spang•☃•talk• 22:56, 23 Jun 2009
It should also be noted that deleting the entire timeline will create exactly 2,255 broken redirects. Rather you than me clearing those up! •Spang•☃•talk• 23:10, 23 Jun 2009
Why not just delete all the content from these articles but leave the year headings. Then have an Uncyclopedia History Week where all are encouraged to fill them in. mAttlobster. (hello) 06:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
I'd suggest a pruning more than total deletion. There might be some content that makes sense. --Mn-z 15:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Categorically against this whole "genocide". How easy it is to delete rather than to place some work and improve. Did anyone bother to look at how many pages this one links to? ~ 18:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Mordillo, if you're concerned about the number of red links that this will make then we should have This page does not exist, as it is one of the most linked to pages despite being a red link. This will just be the second most linked to red link, which probably won't last long as the broken redirects created by deleting this will be deleted quickly, lowering it to below WHotM. MegaPleb•Dexter111344•Complain here 20:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I saw what looked like a concern about creating a bunch of red links so I went to the old standby of why red links aren't a problem. Or something. MegaPleb•Dexter111344•Complain here 20:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
To those of you voting to keep the article: I would really appreciate it if you'd clarify your views and/or your concerns in the forum so we can all get an idea as to why. –SirSkullthumper,MD(criticize•writings• SU&W) 22:59 Jun 23, 2009
I knew it was too good to be true. Saberwolf116 23:00, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I think it might be possible to rewrite a completely differently, completely new timeline of some type but only after completely deleting the current mess. Trying to rewrite what's already there is a horrible, slow, process. I tried to do a spot of editing ("random"-cruffing, mostly) on the 1AD-999AD article and it was horrible and pretty-much all undone with weeks by people popping-up to say that Al Gore invented golf in 575AD. It needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. --Zarbag 14:58, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
(arbitrary outdent) If this is deleted, then all redirects to it from numbers (2, 3...) need to be retargeted to the corresponding number articles (2 (number), 3 (number)...). --Pentium5dot1t~^_^~c 01:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Delete The others may be needed but this one is only one year and does an appallingly poor job at it. I also don't like the idea of keeping an article not based on content when the content is QVFD quality. Can you at least read it and vote based on the contents of the article, that is the purpose of VFD. I couldn't find one funny line in it. --SirDJ~Irreverent 09:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Also this is the least popular of the timeline articles, so would really be the least missed. --SirDJ~Irreverent 15:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
You all realize that this is only a ONE year article just making sure everybody noticed that. And to add insult to injury, the calendar goes from 1 bc. directly to 1 ad, so this "year" was not existent. --Mn-z 15:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep. It could use a nice rewrite, but not flat-out deletion. Dylanlip (talk) 13:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep but don't protect this is probably too notable to leave deleted. (Having notable topics blank annoys causal readers, and makes it hard to find related articles.) It will only come back worse. This looks like a job for Imperial Colonization. --Mn-z 17:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
