The result was keep. We have articles for eclipses almost up to 2200 (which is somewhat arbitrary, I suppose?) In any case, we should either delete all articles beyond a certain year or leave this one as it is (closing keep). Tone 18:45, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

This event may or not happen and 166 years in the future is far WP:TOOSOON for an article. WP:CRYSTAL. It is already covered in the chart found here List of solar eclipses in the 22nd century. Lightburst (talk) 15:31, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

• Keep These are extremely predictable events, see [1], although the predictions might be off by a few minutes. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:36, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
  • The discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solar eclipse of September 12, 2053 is also very relevant here - this is really a batch nomination that is spread across multiple AfDs. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:55, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
• Delete or redirect to List of solar eclipses in the 21st century. No significance, no notability, and no sources about the solar eclipse itself. ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 03:03, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
• Keep This is going to happen, whether humanity and Wikipedia is around or not at the time. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 06:09, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
• Keep Notable as longest solar eclipse. Tom Ruen (talk) 16:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
• Comment I think that this discussion is being lost about whether or not this eclipse will happen, which it almost certainly will... but that doesn't mean we need an entire article about it. It's ridiculous, there's no notability to it (you can see this in the citations - there's literally no sources, beyond automatically generated crap, that cover it), and the article's content itself is too technical for the general audience.

• Keep - notable future event. And definite. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:01, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

How is this notable? ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 09:38, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
