This article fails WP:GNG as I can find no substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. The article makes no claims of notability. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:06, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regional and urban time capsules find it hard to achieve notability when they are buried. It is when they are dug up and the contents presented to the public that they receive substantial coverage. Another issue with Time Capsules is that with the little coverage they receive when buried they tend to be lost to history.

Delete: Truth is, I'd back a speedy delete for failure to make a claim of notability. Complete GNG failure. That being said, to address what I think is an objection on User:NdajiyaSuberu's part, whether time capsules find it hard to achieve notability, or tend to be lost to history or not, is none of our concern. Wikipedia is not for promoting time capsules. Ravenswing 03:32, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
