Vova Galchenko

I doubt this person is "notable," but the usual reasons for deletion (red link or no link, vandalism, incorrect placement) don't apply. Please explain why you think this should be removed, and no doubt I will agree. But until I get a reason, I'm going to revert deletion. Coleca 22:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duran Duran Party in Nottingham (Gateway Hotel)

This doesn't look like a significant event to me. Should this even be on this page? Also I didn't find any reference to this on the Duran Duran article; did this even happen? Grouf^{(talk • contribs)} 17:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since no-one has anything to say about this I am going to remove the entry. Grouf^{(talk • contribs)} 17:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2008 suicide bombing

Moved from my talk page diff. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 12:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if you thought I was "hijacking" a line. Can two notable things not occur on the same day and year? (And here I call the addition I made "notable" for the simple reason that it has a wikipedia article. I make no other assertions. Verne Equinox (talk) 04:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two notable events can certainly happen on the same day. But they should be listed individually. The event you listed does not seem to be long-term, globally notable. It was just another suicide bombing that we are constantly hearing about. The fact that it has an article is not sufficient to confer the long term global notability required to be listed on a date article. Have a look at WP:DOY. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 12:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1588 Spanish Armada

I know this was a cited factoid, but it is demonstrably untrue. The first battle occurred on 20 July off Eddystone Rocks, and the second off Portland on 23 July. The attack of the fireships in the English Channel occurred on 28 July, and the Battle of Gravelines on 8 August 1588. The English stopped pursuing the Armada on 12 August off the Firth of Forth off Scotland. Weather, bad seas, leaking ships, damage, and other factors led most of the Armada to sink or run aground. The final 11 ships moored in various bays in western Ireland about 15 September (some a few days later), and left within a week.
