Nothing here that isn't already in List of years in LGBT rights, and nothing to merge. Mathglot (talk) 21:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is perhaps emblematic of a larger problem: I typed "Table of years in" in the search bar and clicked on the first suggested topic, which was Table of years in literature. Sure enough, that seems to be a proper subset of List of years in literature, although the former is organized more compactly. Seems to me in that case, switching the latter to contain a Compact ToC looking much like the former (or perhaps greater compactness, starting with century, then maybe decades as it got closer to present time, then years) would be a better solution. I don't see the point of having both articles. A systematic review of matching titles of the form Table of years in and List of years in might turn up more of these.

Convert to template, then delete this -- This is essentially a navigational tool, leading to articles such as 20xx in LGBT rights. The usual way to handle this issue is via a template that facilitates such navigation, placed in each of the destination articles. My personal inclination would be plain deletion, but that reflects my own POV on the subject, which is why I rarely comment on LGBT articles. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:03, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to template as per above. Did not see any reason to keep the article. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
