[edit] Brick Day

Notable? Real? Only seems to exist on some guy's blog. DJ Clayworth 16:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

This is the second year that some of us are celebrating the holiday, from St. Louis to San Francisco. It may be small, but that does that mean it's insignificant? It *is* listed under "humorous" holidays, after all... Oh, and what blog did you find mention of it? Kopper

Wow, cool! I hadn't seen that before. Thanks for the link. I actually learned about the holiday last year from one of the guys in The Mothballs. I guess it's a big deal in SF. But just because it's gotten little "Web exposure" is no reason to kill it! I took a brick to a bar last October 15th. Didn't you? Save Brick Day!! Kopper

  • delete. Amusing, though. mikka (t) 18:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless someone can cite sources. Currently this is unverifiable.--Isotope23 18:50, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Brick Day is an important holiday and legislation is being written to commemorate it as an official holiday in the State of California. SwampDogg 14:50, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete unless sources are cited. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability for a discussion of this. (By the way, being impressed that the topic has come up in some guy's blog is probably not a good way to convince us that this topic is encyclopedic...) Bunchofgrapes 20:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not very encyclopedic. Ann Heneghan (talk) 21:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable. --Carnildo 23:33, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • keep it!!! brick is way cooler than adobe and especially siding. this is an important american holiday....dunjen
  • Why not move it to fictional holidays?
  • Keep Though the article needs improvement. I, too, saw mention of this on a blog but it was a blog of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. It is also mentioned on the page for radio station KALX. Crypticfirefly 03:37, 30 September 2005 (UTC) Here's another blog mentioning Brick Day as falling on October 15. More impressively, I found an article about Brickday on the website for a print publication, East Bay Express. There are, however, some remarkable similarities between the story and the article.

    • Indeed so similar that it might be copyvio. DJ Clayworth 13:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not-notable. U$er 17:27, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
