These two articles are new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Two QPQs have been done. @Piotrus: The leads are exceptionally short. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Suggestions for improvement
editCurrent version of the article is too narrowly focused on literature. "Fiction" also includes filmed productions and even music. I'm not suggesting a return to the list format that nearly got this thing deleted last year, but a paragraph referencing a handful of notable film and TV examples I think is needed: examples could include Red Dwarf (set several million years into the future), the Doctor Who franchise (which has had two episodes set more than 100 trillion years into the future), and depending upon one's definition of "far future", Star Trek: Discovery, being set nearly a millennia into the future, may also count. In terms of music, the famous song "In the Year 2525" covers a timeframe of about 10,000 years and is an example of non-comedic science fiction in music form. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
