Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1999 (number)
Reference to a year in a video game. Created by an anonymous user whose only other edits were vanity. -- JamesTeterenko 05:45, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Delete. Possibly nonsense too. The game uses AD years? This substub then really refers to 1999. Cool Hand Luke 06:15, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Rewrite to be a proper number article (see Category:Integers for examples), if 1999 has any unusual mathematical properties etc. Failing to accomplish that before VfD expiration, then delete. jni 07:14, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- If nobody has anything to contribute to it then it should be deleted. Jeltz 11:06, 2004 Nov 24 (UTC)
- I re-wrote it with some meaningful information. (Note that this is a comment to allow voters to re-vote.) 66.245.105.240 14:08, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Ok, now it's a proper article. Still not notable though, I'm sticking with my vote. --fvw* 14:16, 2004 Nov 24 (UTC)
- With this change, I move from wanting it deleted to being indifferent. However, this reminds me of a "proof" that a number theory university proffesor gave that there were no uninteresting numbers. It was a simple proof by contradiction. Assume that there were uninteresting numbers. Let x be the lowest positive number in this set. Since x is the lowest positive uninteresting number, that makes it interesting. Since we have a contradiction, there are no uninteresting numbers. -- JamesTeterenko 19:53, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- This being Wikipedia, we have a webpage on that very "proof": see interesting number paradox. -- Walt Pohl 07:27, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Intrigue 17:36, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Merge whatever is valuable and then redirect. I can't see any reason why 1999 (number) needs its own article. Intrigue can you explain your vote? --[[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 21:13, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Keep as it stands now. —siroχo 22:07, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete to me it seems to do no more puropse than state the obvious as its as of this vote Fledgeling 23:04, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. As a number, 1999 is entirely non-notable. Its properties are entirely uninteresting and could also be said of an infinite number of other integers. Rho 03:57, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Delete it. [[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 15:24, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Number articles are used to reference the use of that number in math, science, entertainment, history, language, etc. See 0 (number), 1 (number), 2 (number) for examples.
- Delete -- I dont think it, as a number, is notable enoug 18:00, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: 66.245.105.240's effort was valiant, but there's just nothing there. None of the stated characteristics are unique to 1999, and all of them combined still don't make it a notable integer. As a song, as a year, yes. As an integer, no. -leigh 10:02, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
- Since there are other articles about numbers and Wikipedia has (almost) unlimited space I will vote Keep, although there is at present not much interesting information about the number 1999 here. A notable feature of 1999 is that it is a prime number. Forgot to sign it when I first wrote here, so I'll do it now: 129.177.61.124 14:07, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
