Talk:tenth century

RFD discussion: January–April 2019
This is the only entry we have of this type (I think). Should we get rid of this one or create all of the others? We have (e.g.), and the  does refer to two periods of time (BCE/BC and CE/AD), so there is some nuance, but perhaps that is all encyclopedic and has too little lexicographic value to bother with. Thoughts? - TheDaveRoss  13:53, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * My impression is that centuries BC are always referred to that way, or provided some context to that effect. bd2412 T 14:15, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to this, it's worth looking at, which is the only reference to the 20th century. DonnanZ (talk) 00:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * , just to be clear, you are OK with deletion or OK with the entry? We also have, which seems like a worthy entry to me, and we probably ought to have as well. -  TheDaveRoss  13:36, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with these too, but I don't see how it's relevant to the matter at hand. Per utramque cavernam 13:39, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I would say keep, it does explain that refers to 901-1000, not 1001-1100, which can be a pitfall for some. DonnanZ (talk) 13:52, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It may be a pitfall, but that doesn't make it any less SOP. It's only a pitfall when people don't stop to think about the fact that the first century AD must of necessity have passed by the year 100, rather than beginning in that year. Delete. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 04:00, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see a need to create all of these -- and anyway, where would one stop? The first definition at century seems to cover this kind of usage. Mihia (talk) 12:04, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, SOP. Per utramque cavernam 13:30, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * weak keep - there are two possible meanings - general usage has '99 as the last year in the nth century and 'OO as the first, but strict usage has centuries starting in Jan '01. John Cross (talk) 20:08, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That is an ambiguity with the term and has nothing to do with  in particular though, right? We do address that ambiguity in our definition at century. -  TheDaveRoss  20:42, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, SOP. - -sche (discuss) 22:19, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, as it is an adjective-noun SOP. -Mike (talk) 20:24, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
