Wookieepedia:Trash compactor/1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s (second nomination)

2000s
This is a reopening of Trash compactor/1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s from back in 2009. It is a single TC as each page has the same issue.

So I noticed the pages for decades from the 1970s to 2000s are seriously lacking of information (compare 1972 and the entry for 1972 in the 1970s), and what information they contain is separated into year, which can be found in each year anyway. I cant think of the use of linking pages to the general decade rather then the specific year (except for the decades pre-1970, which have very little information and so make sense to clump together as a decade).

I think there is a good case for their deletion: if we did keep them, we would have to fill them out with all the information, and that would effectively be a list of dates for every event that happened in the 10 year period, which to me seem excessive since that information is held in the specific year as well as day specific day page (eg. birth of Ewan McGregor appears in both March 31 and 1971). Both the year and date link to each other, and are linked to from the actual article.

I would compare these pages to the general month pages (eg January). These however serve a purpose since they contain information for events where the exact day is not known, but the month is. Also, most any month page contains a massive list of dates. A decade page would likely contain even more data then this, the 1990s and 2000s and 2010s will become quite clogged with the amount of recently and newly released media.
