Leap Year
No. 1989 is not a leap year.
February 1989 has 28 days, and the year has 365 days total.
1989 is not divisible by 4, so it is a common year with 28 days in February.
The rule in full: a year is a leap year if it's divisible by 4 — except century years (divisible by 100), which are only leap years if they're also divisible by 400. That's why 2000 was a leap year but 1900 and 2100 are not, despite all three being divisible by 100.
Next leap year after 1989: 1992. Previous leap year before 1989: 1988.
