Current events pages of 1995

At the top of every month page, there is "This is an archived version of Wikipedia's Current events Portal from <month_name> 1995." However Wikipedia did not exist in 1995, so these are archives of nonexistent versions of Portal:Current events, created by a single user in 2017. Everything in the 150 or so daily subpages of these month pages are duplicates of mainspace content.

The same rationale stated in Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Current events/April 1994 and Miscellany for deletion/Months in 1994 applies here. If this is deleted, everything in Category:1995 by day should be deleted as well, per WP:G8. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 14:47, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete as per previous MFDs noted. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:46, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Out of scope for Wikipedia. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:41, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The place for this sort of thing would be https://en.wikinews.org. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't really belong on wikinews either since it's not really news reporting. There are a few places like Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries and the various "list of events on this day" articles which contain this kind of stuff, but it's probably not worth the effort of merging it. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 02:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it could be useful as a resource, but as is it is not enclopedic is content that others have written about. As a resource, it does not belong on reader facing pages. It could well be useful in a WikiProject, eg Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events, but the Portal people seem completely uninterested in that idea. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is a set of date articles (e.g. 1995#January or January 1) which are essentially just big lists of events that occurred on that day, but none of the entries on the pages here have the required sourcing to be merged into article space. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 09:24, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That lack of sourcing presented makes these pages a negative to Wikipedia. SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:10, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem like sort of a shame to delete these, they are fairly well put together lists of historic events. They aren't, however, archives of Portal:Current events, so they don't belong where they are. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 19:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the discussion with SmokeyJoe above. These aren't archives of Portal:Current events and there doesn't seem to be any reasonable place to merge or move the content to. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 10:12, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
