Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Speak Like A German Day
An item generally belongs on Wikipedia ''after'' its notability is established, as Wikipedia is not a cart-before-the-horse means for establishing this notability, nor is it for "advertising" to that end.  I doubt anyone is criticizing it for never having heard of it; not trying to |bite, but I feel they are simply stating that it does not gel with |why wikipedia exists.  As for Pirate Day, that page was first created, per its revision history, in 2003, certainly well after its inception and popularity grew per the article's references; thus the comparison here is fallacious
