Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Media

I had not been aware of the recent discussion regarding the removal of no events entries, despite this being seemingly raised because this kept coming up on timelines I created when someone had removed them and I had reinstated them. I am sure that others will appreciate that one tends to be defensive over articles that they have created and I would have given my view if I had known about this discussion.

It was only a week or two ago that, following a registered user, rather than an IP, removing these that I thought that changing this to no notable events might be the way to go as this wording suggests that events may have taken in this period but they are not seen as notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, and therefore not for inclusion in the timeline.

I included the no events entry on the timelines I created because I thought it was the correct thing to do as I had seen this included in UK broadcasting timelines which were online before I began creating my timelines, and it is only now that this really seems to have become an issue. However if I had been aware of the discussion I would have suggested this as the way to go so therefore I would like to propose this and the only way to do this is to begin a new discussion.

Can you remind us where the no events discussion took place? If I recall, notability wasn't the only issue involved here.

Please have a look at WP:OWN and try to resist defying consensus in these cases. ~Kvng (talk) 16:15, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

I am not trying to resist consensus. Instead I am suggesting an idea following a discussion, of which I had not been are, which was relevant to me as this was directly relevant to articles I had created. We are asked to modify the original discussion so this is the only way I can express my view, and suggestion, which I hope will be considered, and that people will respond to. If I had been aware of the previous discussion I would have suggested this as an option at that point. Rillington (talk) 15:04, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

@Rillington, I still haven't been able to locate that original discussion. I'm not sure I'll be able to find it again on my own. It sounds like you've looked at it recently. Can you share a link to it here? ~Kvng (talk) 16:21, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

@Kvng, It's the now closed Historical timeline sections with "No events" discussion on this page, three discussions above this one. Rillington (talk) 14:46, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

There is a discussion at Talk:Speculative fiction by writers of color#Implementing the split about how to split this page following the AfD discussion where there was agreement to split apart the page. Please share your thoughts for what sections you believe should be split off/merged to other pages. Thanks and have a great rest of your day. Historyday01 (talk) 13:48, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
