The result was speedy delete by Neutrality (talk · contribs). The deletion log doesn't list the deletion criterion but A7 looks like a good enough fit to me. —David Eppstein 06:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Face Day

Face Day (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Deletion nom:Contested speedy. Probably WP:SNOW deletable, but I brought it here since the article creator refuses to let the issue go. This is a made-up holiday put together by the article creator and his buddies and this article has no business belonging at wikipedia, per WP:NOT for stuff you and your buddies make up. Borderline patent nonsense. Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

KEEP I'm being adamant about this because 10,000+ people recognize this holiday. So I have 10,000+ people all sitting around me giggling and laughing while I type this? That doesn't even make any sense. This is far from made up, and has been going on for approxmiately 10 or so years now.I AM AWAY FROM MYCOMPUTER UNTIL THE 27TH. I AM PRETTY SURE I HAVE AN ARTICLE ON ABOUT IT ON MY COMPUTER. I ASK IT STAYS UP ATLEAST UNTIL THEN.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Helpingspreadtheword (talk • contribs) --Helpingspreadtheword 06:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

So, simply provide a newspaper account or other reliable source where these 10,000 people are noted. So far, we have a made-up article about a made-up holiday whose only claim to notability is that you made up the fact that 10,000 people supposedly celebrate it. If you can provide a source that establishes this as a verifiable fact, PLEASE DO SO. If 10,000 people are doing something then SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE has written it down before now. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• KEEP I'm not so much for this page as I'm against the reasons for deletion. I find you're reaching for reasons to remove this due to your personal ignorance of it. I agree that it requires citation (particularly in the origin section) but give it a week or two to get user input. Isn't that what Wikipedia is all about? User input into articles? Diescumdie
• Delete : a google search provides no hits that I can find that deal with this as described by article. Appears to fall under WP:MADEUP. Rich Uncle Skeleton ^(talk) 06:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
