Incoherent. Possibly a speedy, but I wasn't sure enough. Joyous 02:23, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. No specific 24-hour period is significant enough to warrant an article with its own title like this, IMHO. Not even, say, September 11, 2001, because it is better to create a title that describes the event rather than the timeframe. Livajo 02:29, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, for the same reasons as the user above. Kairos 04:43, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deleted as hopeless. 1) The problem was in the very idea (refers to 1889, not 1989), 2) Can never grow, 3) Was not encyclopedia entry. Geogre 12:03, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• comment: this is referring to 1989, to be precise an incident when trains carrying East Germans from Prague, where they had taken refuge in the West German embassy, passed through Dresden on their way to the West. A rather bizarre incident (the East German gvt. insisted the trains were routed through the GDR), and residents along the route tried to gain access to them, which in the heated atmosphere of the time resulted in several confrontations. The article as it stood wasn't any use though, I'm sure there must be a timeline somewhere which contains the same info. Ianb 19:22, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • ah yes, see for example Dresden#The_Postwar_Period. Ianb 19:25, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
