- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus. There appears to be a rough consensus at the RFC, although that doesn't help in this scenario as as Elmidae pointed out, there's no redirect target that exists. This can be handled editorially at the close of the RFC and revisited if needed, but I do not see a strong consensus to maintain this as a standalone nor to remove the material.

Failure GNG: It will take 76 years for this solar eclipse to occur. At the same time, it only occurs in the waters near Antarctica, and it is a partial solar eclipse, so it has no scientific value. Q28 (talk) 22:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete First in a new Saros series that (unsurprisingly) does not have a Wikipedia article. Fils WP:CRYSTAL, specifically points #1 and #2. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:32, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: I found nothing notable about this partial solar eclipse. Alternatively it could be redirected to List of solar eclipses in the 21st century. Praemonitus (talk) 01:48, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep because WP:TOOSOON does not apply here. It may be that GNG is not met but it's not because of the time frame. Caleb Stanford (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep because it's not our job to speculate who will or will not be hanging about Antarctica. Indeed, the very fact that we can give a geographic location means that more than "generic information" is available, so the concern in the guideline mentioned above is inapplicable. There might be an argument for presenting our information about predicted eclipses in a different way, but that's not a question this particular forum is designed or equipped to resolve.

- Keep for the time being, but ONLY because there is no article on the respective Saros. As soon as that exists, it should be redirected theree post-haste. This is list material. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:22, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per Elmidae. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 19:27, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is not WP:CRYSTAL, it's a mathematically determined certainty of physical reality. Celestial events are the most predictable events known to humanity, which is why "the sun will come up tomorrow" is the most commonly used example of a vacuously true prediciton. This eclipse is literally guaranteed to happen at the precise hour indicated, and if it doesn't, come find me in 2098 and I'll give you a hundred bucks (inflation-adjusted). I don't see a GNG fail, either -- eclipses have been considered intrinsically notable events by virtually every civilization in history, and we have the entirety of astronomy to back up that this will happen there then. jp×g 20:35, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting in light of Wikipedia talk:Notability (events)#Eclipse RfC but feel free to close if this RFC looks decisive.
