The Noughties ran from 2000-2009 the same way that the nineties ran from 1990-1999.
can't see any debate huge room for debate about that

Oxford English Dictionary describes a decade as
noun
1 a period of ten years
a period of ten years beginning with a year ending in 0

Though there does seem to be some debate around the context first decade - first decade of this century etc.
Gregorian calender does not have a year nought so First decade was 1-10 so first decade of this century could be 2001-2010 .

There was no year 0 Omar.

Hence decades run from years ending in 1 to years ending in 0.

So for the present period, that is 2001-2010.

There's still three months left in this decade.

Maybe 1960 was in the 50s so down could be the team of the 50s?

You asked about the noughties you did'nt say anything about this decade or present period or the first decade of this century - Your question was about the noughties
The noughties are the year with a nought as the second last digit - same way that the sixties are 1960-1969
or the nineties are 1990-1999.

If there was no year zero
When was the year dot (.) ?
