It has been regarded as one of the worst years in contemporary history.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/28/opinion/2016-worst-year-ever.html|title=2016: Worst. Year.

What's wrong with this statement? Lots of sources, meets WP:V and WP:N criteria, they said I should gain "consensus", I'm unsure about WP:ONUS or WP:CON, and that it was too "vague". I'm not sure what's so vague about "worst": "superlative form of bad: most bad", "bad" is: "Not good; unfavorable; negative". There's nothing WP:VAGUE about this, in fact, it puts "controversial" as a vague word, a word used in the titles of some articles (Hillary Clinton email controversy), also WP:VAGUE is a guideline, not a policy. ∼∼∼∼ Eric0928Talk 13:26, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

You're kidding, right? Or did you really not even read the references you cited? — Yerpo ^Eh? 13:50, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Not only that, but whether or not a year is considered "the worst" is totally subjective. May have been a lot of shitty things happen then but for some 2016 might've been the best year in history. In short it's trivial and doesn't belong in the article. Rusted AutoParts 14:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

As per previous consensus here, removed as lacking international notability. Just passes the minimum criteria at WP:RY but of the 9 non-English articles one, the Malay article [1], has not been edited since 2013 and was a copy of the English anyway, and the remainder are clones of the English wiki article with, in most cases, no local content.
