Talk:DDMMYYYY

RFD discussion: December 2019–March 2020
As I'm not happy about how the discussion for DDMMYY turned out, I'm gonna RFD this one too. --Vealhurl (talk) 23:49, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Commonly used in running text in collocations such as "DDMMYYYY format". Probably best defined as a noun. DCDuring (talk) 00:58, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


 * The non-gloss definition gives the example of 02/04/2011, presumably for 2 April 2011, but that format is usually denoted as “DD/MM/YYYY”. This is utterly confusing; look at the question posed here. In DDMMYYYY format it should be “02042011”; for more examples see the inset with the heading “References in periodicals archive” here. It looks like this is also the dominant meaning in the sparse durably archived uses, such as e.g. here. Where can we find the discussion for DDMMYY? --Lambiam 08:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Treat the same as DDMMYY, however that one came out. bd2412 T 05:25, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
