It is absolutely meaningless to create a redirect for a year which is far in the future. There is nothing special about this and it is not linked in any Wikipedia articles. Also, there were only 32 pageviews last year compared to the target which received just under 750,000 pageviews which does not make this redirect useful in anyway.

  With only 25 pageviews last year, there won't be any inconvenience by deleting this.

  1,000,000,000,000 (number) makes sense as a number but as a year, it doesn't make sense. Pkbwcgs (talk) 23:02, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply

  ]

  Circa 25 people will be inconvenienced by deletion, which would be acceptable if it were misleading (it isn't), it was incorrect (it isn't), there was no information at the target (there is), it was ambiguous (it isn't), or there was some other benefit to deletion (there isn't any). The ratio of views of a redirect to a target is only ever relevant when determining which of multiple possible targets a redirect should point to, but when the target is unambiguous (as here) the only thing that matters is whether people using the redirect are reaching the content they are looking for, which they unquestionably are. Thryduulf (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  @Thryduulf: It is not at all plausible by having a redirects that goes more than a trillion years into the future. Very few people used this redirect last year so it wouldn't cause any inconvenience. Pkbwcgs (talk) 22:58, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  77 page views is not "very few" by any measure, not even the 25-35 of the others you nominated is "very few". The target article goes way further than this (1 trillion is 10¹², the article goes to ${\displaystyle 10^{10^{10^{56}}}}$, so someone searching for this will find information at the target, further demonstrating its plausibility.

  The fact that ~77 people used this redirect last year proves that it is useful - just because we have a similar redirect is not relevant (see

  • We've been over this many times before, so I will keep it brief, but inconveniencing ~77 people a year (around 6-7 every month on average) for absolutely no benefit whatsoever to be extremely harmful to the project. Anyone searching for a year this far in the future is not looking for content about that exact year specifically to the exclusion of all others (even
    22nd Century) but for content about that approximate time in the future which is exactly what they will find at the target. Thryduulf (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    • I would support the deletion of
      2119 for the same reason. Someone searching 2119 is looking for information about that year, and the target does not provide that information. Update: 22nd century in fiction does mention that The story "Under the Lake" is set in 2119. Maybe it would be best to retarget there or perhaps it's okay after all since the "in fiction" is a sub-list of the target. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Delete for lack of specific value. In typing "1,000,000,000,000,000" one would get to "1,000,000,000" first and the options there. There seems to be no value to the extra increments. --Bejnar (talk) 20:04, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
