125th IOC Session

This could be an international event? It could be like a part of global session for winning a host city of 2020 Summer Olympics/Games of the XXXII Olympiad. ApprenticeFan ^work 18:31, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

It will be an exciting event for those involved at the time, especially for the winners, but in the long term it will fade into obscurity. The Games themselves are the notable event. HiLo48 (talk) 22:47, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 2 January 2013

23rd November 2013- The long running British science fiction television show, Doctor Who, celebrates its 50th Anniversary on BBC 1 176.24.25.147 (talk) 13:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Exclude - this page is not for trivia, including various anniversaries. — Yerpo ^Eh? 14:11, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Exlcude - not even suitable for "... in televsion" or "... in the UK". — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

 Not done: per above responses. Although it is unlikely, if later consensus contradicts these responses I will not object to addition of this information. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:37, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Holidays 2013: Immaculate Conception

A few days ago, I changed the date of Immaculate Conception from 8 December to 9 December, and gave a source to site it. The table of liturgical days (the source I provided) indicated that a Sunday of Advent takes precedence, and as 8 December 2013 is a Sunday it takes precedence over the Immaculate Conception, which therefore needs to be shifted to 9 December - this is what happens in 2013. This edit was reverted; although interestingly the source I provided was left there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by C.cats2004 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

It's a celebration, not a holiday. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Given the differing usage of the word holiday around the world, one could argue that from the perspective of many people (certainly for me as an Australian where a holiday only means time away from work, school or other normal occupation) there are very few religious holidays. Most are more correctly called celebrations or commemorations. HiLo48 (talk) 13:34, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

First paragraph

This is maybe (most probably) not specific to this page, but ... I think concerning the first words,

2013 (MMXIII) is a common year that started on a Tuesday and is the current year.

In the Gregorian calendar, it is the 2013th year ...

the "In the Gregorian..." applies in particular to " started on a Tuesday", and therefore should come earlier. — MFH:Talk 19:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

How come there are no Events yet?

For all of the years from 2005 to 2013, every single year except for 2012 has at least 1 event listed by January 5. It is now January 5, and we still have NO events listed yet! I sure hope we don't have a repeat of what happened in 2012. Seriously! I mean, the 2012 article had the least events of any Recent Year article, and I feel that, sadly, 2013 will likely share the same fate. SuperHero2111 (talk) 23:56, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

The criterion for populating this list is importance, not uniform distribution of events in time. How come there are no events yet? It's simple - nothing noteworthy happened yet. If you think that something did, then propose the inclusion. — Yerpo ^Eh? 12:03, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

NASA's Venus In-Situ Explorer mission to Venus

I've researched all that I could to source this entry, but have found none. NASA's website mentions it in their "New Frontiers" program on their website, but the year it will happen is not confirmed, only that the program itself began this year. I think it's safe for its removal. — ^Wylie_Coyote 18:49, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggested January event

• January 1 – At least 60 people are killed and more than 200 injured in a stampede during a New Year's fireworks celebration near the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.[1][2][3]

Suggest listing for the number killed and injured, the date and its celebratory tragedy, and its global coverage. If listed, I will fix the citations. — ^Wylie_Coyote 19:27, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

EXLUDE - minor local event--68.231.15.56 (talk) 20:05, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Exclude - this event has no international notability. That it was reported my some media sources outside Cote D'Ivoire does not change the fact that it had no relevance to the rest of the world. 188.29.77.65 (talk) 20:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

where is the Mali?

David R. Ellis

He meets the WP:RY minimum guideline but his English article is not substantial and all the non-English ones are stubs/clones. His notability seems to rest on one film (Snakes on a Plane) as his article wasn't created until after that. I think he should be Excluded as insufficient;y notable. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 06:09, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

already argued for Harry Carey, Jr. and got shot down (rediculous) - Ellis article at IMDB is substantial i say INCLUDE--68.231.15.56 (talk) 00:24, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Yet again Derby continues his dictatorship upon RY articles. There was not even time for discussion before it was removed, in complete violation of WP:AGF. Your argument that he was notable only for Snakes on a Plane is ridiculous, if you actually looked at the article, he was involved in several fairly well known movies such as the Final Destination franchise. He obviously meets international notability and his removal is just silly, as are most decisions on this page undertaken by a certain collective of obstructive editors. Include --MarcZimmer (talk) 18:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

I think he should be included. He meets the WP:RY minimum guideline, he has a substantial entry on IMDb, and he is the director of several well-known films. So, I do think that he should be included. SuperHero2111 (talk) 01:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I see no consensus. I would lean again inclusion, but I'm not going to !vote here. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

He directed Cellular, Snakes on a Plane and two Final Destination films. I think that makes him sufficiently internationally notable to be included. 188.29.77.65 (talk) 20:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Include - 16 other translations, no matter their size. Stop the lording! — ^Wylie_Coyote 21:16, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
