Terran computational calendar

Not notable, no reliable sources in article, and I could not find any reliable sources with a Google source. Tone of the only source provided suggests this calendar was recently invented by one individual. Jc3s5h (talk) 19:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the redirect Terran calendar. Jc3s5h (talk) 19:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any documentation of any such thing apart from the WWW site of no known authorship that this is a copy of, either. This is unverifiable outwith an anonymous self-published WWW site with no way to determine the author's reputation for fact checking and accuracy. Uncle G (talk) 21:21, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete Every link is to the website of this contrivance, and there are no real mentions unless you count all the "July 15th of the Terran calendar" passages in innumerable Sci Fi works. Mangoe (talk) 22:36, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to Wikipedia and the author of this article. All your suppositions are correct, although I can assure you that much thought, research, documentation, trial & error, and precise programming has gone into the calendar's creation. What modifications or ommissions would you suggest to keep this on wikipedia? If the complete removal of this aricle is the unanimous decision of the wikipedia community (with the exception of the author), what kinds of things (reputation, reliable sources, etc.) must happen in order for it to become a worthy wikipedia page in the future?

Wikipedia: Notability outlines the requirements for a topic to be worthy of an article. Wikipedia:Conflict of interest explains that even if a topic is notable, it would be inappropriate for the inventor of a calendar to write a Wikipedia article about it. Personally, I look to the recent confusion about whether 2000 or 2001 was the first year of the new millennium. Even for the most important calendar in international commerce, no one had the authority to come forward and definitely settle the matter. In view of that, I consider it impossible to replace the Gregorian calendar with some "improved" variant. I would not favor an article on a calendar proposal unless there an exceptional degree of interest in numerous reliable sources over a long period of time (~ 50 years).
