Anniversaries in the year articles

Regarding anniversaries of the creation of certain media, cultural property, and organizations, I do not see them as relevant enough to include in the year articles, in most cases. I think anniversaries should only be included if they have a particularly high amount of coverage, such as the bicentennial of the United States in 1976, or perhaps the release of Mickey Mouse into the public domain.

The following are examples of what I'm talking about:

2029: "50th anniversary of the Alien."
2043: "100th anniversary of Droopy."
2052: "100th anniversary of the Cinerama."

I completely agree with you. One could add an arbitrary number of non-notable anniversaries but that wouldn't be encyclopedically useful at all. Feel free to boldly remove them. Cheers, Sophocrat (talk) 01:50, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone ahead and removed them myself from the articles you cited. Thanks for pointing this out :). —Sophocrat (talk) 01:56, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, too. Are all the ones you've seen in future years? -- Auntof6 (talk) 11:35, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. All the ones I've seen are in future years. I'll remove the others now. Yamazaki Kaoru (talk) 22:28, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
