[edit] Day of Immunology

Why was the international Day of Immunology deleted as a "nonsense holiday" while the international Day of Dance is allowed? Sad mouse (talk) 15:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC) http://www.dayofimmunology.org

The listing for the Day of Immunology did not link to a supporting article. It wasn't nonsense, it was just unsupported - but I can see where the removing editor would call it nonsense since it wasn't mentioned in the linked article. Also, from the link you provide, there is no indication that this event will occur on the same date each year, which is a requirement for listing. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 16:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

They should have assumed good faith, discussed it on this page or looked through my history of editing immunology topics without vandalism. It has been on the same day, April 29th, for the past three years, which seems to fit the requirement for listing. I've added it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system#History_of_immunology rather than create an entire page for it. Sad mouse (talk) 18:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

If the observance is not notable enough for its own article, it shouldn't be listed here. If something is not supported, it is removed regardless of good faith. Have a look at WP:DAYS. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 18:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

60-70% of global deaths are caused by immune system failure (Cause_of_death), yet you have somehow decided that the Day of Immunology is not notable enough for its own article? Sad mouse (talk) 22:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

It does not matter what I think. No article exists on this subject. If no article exists on this subject, it cannot be notable enough to be included. The minimum criteria for inclusion is that the observance be the subject of an article. That is the only method we have to make sure that everyone's pet holiday is not cluttering up the lists. Doesn't it seem reasonable that we have some minimum standards for inclusion? I encourage you to write an article on the subject. If the article survives as notable, then the observance can be added here. Sounds fair to me and has nothing to do with my opinion of the observance. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t)}

[edit] Wendee Lee

Wendee Lee appears in the list of days of the year as born in April 29th 1955, but in the Wendee Lee article, her birthday appears as in February 20 (no year typed). ¿Should I edit the Wendee Lee article with the April 29th birthday? 190.24.64.58 (talk) 02:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It works the other way around. The listing on the date page needs to match what is in the article. The article contains the referenced information. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 02:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Just a moment I remembered to check what the external links shown in the article about her mentioned about her birthdate, and according to the sites IMDB, Voice Chasers and Anime News Network (the 4th link shows an interview), it's April 29 1955, it would indicate the Wendee Lee article is the one with the wrong birthdate. 190.24.64.58 (talk) 04:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You are correct. I have fixed it. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 05:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
