The rationale for the proposed deletion is sound — we do not make pages for individual [[BC]] years. However, this article contradicts itself: it states that we're talking about 6 billion years '''prior''' to the 21st century, but the infobox claims the story is in the '''far future'''. So which is it? If it's BC, then it will be deleted, but if it's the far future, it may not have to be deleted.

:It appears that the "far future" tag was automatically added by the Timeline template; this definitely refers to the year 6 billion BC. That said, could anyone point me to the policy that says we can't make pages for individual BC years? That seems kind of odd to me, given the many pages on individual far-future years etc. – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 01:59, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion

The rationale for the proposed deletion is sound — we do not make pages for individual BC years. However, this article contradicts itself: it states that we're talking about 6 billion years prior to the 21st century, but the infobox claims the story is in the far future. So which is it? If it's BC, then it will be deleted, but if it's the far future, it may not have to be deleted. Shambala108 01:54, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

It appears that the "far future" tag was automatically added by the Timeline template; this definitely refers to the year 6 billion BC. That said, could anyone point me to the policy that says we can't make pages for individual BC years? That seems kind of odd to me, given the many pages on individual far-future years etc. – N8 01:59, September 19, 2017 (UTC)
