Requirements

Survivor and American Idol contestants? Maybe if they were the winners (maybe) they would belong on this page, but just competing in a popular American tv show does not make you notable. Djibouti (talk) 22:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I add Black On This Day to Wiki's External links only to get it removed. Why is being removed? Bradhemmings (talk) 15:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

A new external link is considered a layout change and needs to be discussed at WP:DAYS. In order to preserve consistency over all of the date articles, changes like new sections and new external links need to be applicable to all of the articles and must be applied to all of the articles. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 16:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I am just wondering what exactly it takes to get a mention on this page? I mean I think more then 7 people have died since 2000. And I know better then just adding random people on here. Does it have to be international? (rapper Pimp C died on dec 4 07, but he doesn't appear on the list) Tydamann (talk) 08:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

According to these guidelines, at an absolute minimum people need their own Wikipedia article, although it says there are also more stringent notability requirements (presumably to keep the list manageable and worth reading); those requirements don't seem to be written down there. But Pimp C wouldn't be on this list because it's for February 19, when as you said, he died on December 4, and he's on that list. =) • Anakin ^{(contribs • complaints)} 14:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
