Talk:2010 in New Zealand

Visit of Prince William

Is this really sufficiently notable to be included here? The visit was brief and involved no major public occasions. Have all the many similarly minor royal visits been included in previous Year in NZ articles? DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 23:59, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

The NZ Herald has at least 40 articles relating to the visit, I think it's ok. XLerate (talk) 00:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

It's notable enough - the problem is more that we have omitted nearly everything else. I would expect these articles to have as many as 60 events listed in this section. I have almanac coverage of royal visits prior to 1986, and will get around to including those. dramatic (talk) 02:03, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

There needs to be a standard of what is notable and what is not. I can't believe that there are actually 60 entries per year that will be historically notable (as opposed to news items of temporary notability). DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 05:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

There's a guideline at Wikipedia:Recent years, for the global year it says news coverage on at least three different continents. For the New Zealand year, I can suggest criteria:

• an event which has it own article
• significant coverage on at least 7 different days
• significant international coverage
• anything New Zealand related in the global year article

The minimum should certainly be that the event has its own article. Articles are frequently created on the barest minimum of notability so that critera won't keep all the trivia out which is why it should be the first criteria. Anything that makes a Year article would have to be included in a Year in NZ article (note that the Christchurch Earthquake did not make the 2010 article).

Deaths

Should there be some level of notability for inclusion in the Deaths section of this article? We obviously can't/shouldn't list everybody, but is there any way of setting a minimum level of notability? WP:RY has a minimum of 9 non-English articles for standard Year articles. That wouln't work here, maybe something else would.,

Whatever the standard is I can't see that Tom Newnham qualifies. I'm tempted to remove him as a lot of far more notable people have not been included, but maybe others have different opinions on this... DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 21:47, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I would have thought that, for such a small country as NZ, anybody who has an article on WP gets included here. Schwede66 22:39, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how/why the deaths of people who meet the bare minimum of notability for an article could be considered notable enough for inclusion in an article which is essentially a summary of the more important events of the Year in NZ. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 22:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

During the 1970s, Newnham was fairly well known in New Zealand, or at the very least, the organisation CARE was. However, I'm inclined to agree with Schwede that anyone with an article (and a strong relationship with NZ) should have birth and death years listed in these articles. Are there examples of such listing being removed? It's not a strong argument against having them that no one has bothered to add many.-gadfium 02:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
