An indiscriminate list of "real dates" used in fiction. Most of the fiction work uses real dates. (Not Alice in wonderland, it has a different calendar).
I cant see the encyclopaedic value of this article, or any educational value either. Borderline
OR. —usernamekiran

Delete Way, way on the "indiscriminate" side of any reasonable line that could be drawn. A select few dates from fiction have gained special distinction and become events in their own right, like
Festivus and
Bloomsday. We could have a list of those, but this isn't that.

Delete this will result in an indiscriminate list of little use. Pretty much every movie or tv show has a real date mentioned somewhere. What is the use or value of this information? The list is not supposed to include "parallel universes". Well isn't every work of fiction a parallel universe, e.g. when city mayors, police chiefs, presidents etc have fictional names? pseudonymJake Brockmantalk 16:27, 1 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Delete as the list is far too indiscriminate. If a specific date from a work has attracted critical and/or academic attention, it is better to include that information on the article on that work.

Delete. Obviously indiscriminate and original research.
