This has the purpose of a category but it is formatted as a list. We do not have lists like this for any other country. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:04, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - a list like this is not really necessary. It does little to add further new information to the encyclopedia. Vorbee ( talk) 10:41, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, incorrect and invalid deletion arguments. "We do not have lists like this for any other country." List of years in Denmark, List of years in China, List of years in Mongolia, List of years in Thailand, List of years in Andorra... Looks like we actually may have them for every country. So the only deletion rationale offered is a contradiction of WP:NOTDUP without any justification. The lists, on top of simply being the preference of many editors/readers to work with in addition to or instead of categories, can also do two things that the categories cannot: include redlinks, and organize all on one page under clear headers what is broken up in the category structure into subcategories. postdlf ( talk) 13:40, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep per postdlf and trout nominator because the claim of uniqueness is disproven by two of the navboxes in the article. Any deletion of such a list would need to be applied consistently, and that would require an RFC (which would be all but certain to fail). ~ Hydronium~Hydroxide~ (Talk)~ 06:21, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- Withdraw nomination, I typed "List of years in" in the search bar and nothing popped up, but that must have been a technical hick-up. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:11, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
