Let me make my position quite clear - this page is for events of global significance, which does include cultural significance as well as political and environmental. However, that cultural significance needs to be very significant indeed. So while the release of a game such as Space Invaders or Pac-Man constitutes a major cultural landmark, if a game isn't making normal news headlines (not games news, news news) across the planet there is no way it warrants an entry here.

I'd suggest if you want to include every single person born on March 28th you create a category. A list comprised largely of people almost nobody has heard of will be little used. We're not creating something to show off how much data we can collect, we're trying to write something that people will actually find useful. Average Earthman 23:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
The Great Alaska Earthquake (Good Friday Earthquake) happened on March 27, NOT March 28!
I don't want to step on any toes by deleting the reference, but if someone who is a toe-stepper could please handle this, I'd appreciate the correction! It's already listed correctly on March 27, by the way...

Individuals whose articles cannot be relied upon to at least have the potential of global notability are rv as per this discussion and this one. Porn stars, btw, just from experience, rarely if ever have that potential, and that's not a bias or animus on my part, just a fact. Quis separabit? 13:53, 16 December 2016 (UTC).

When I raised whether we should claim our achievement of the ten millionth article on March 31 2008 at WP: Village Pump, I was informed that the ten millionth article (in the Hungarian Wikipedia) was actually created several days before then. According to:

the date was March 28, so should this be seen as one of the anniversaries here? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
