Fictional Events

Is there any standard on adding fictional events for date? In the Harry Potter universe, Neville Longbottom was born on July 30, 1980. Should this be added? Jvsett 11:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

• 1966 – England beats West Germany 4–2 to win the 1966 FIFA World Cup at Wembley after extra time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966 contains this link, thus it should also be included in July 30 page. Geggi (talk) 08:16, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
