Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sweetest Day Hoax
well, by all means... if you have "primary source information" that has not been posted here or in the article yet, that specifically proves this day was a hoax created by the 12 individuals you feel are responsible for it ''and'' refers to them as "founders" of Sweetest Day, then what are you waiting for?  I for one welcome you to produce this evidence if it exists so I can stop wasting my time here... As for the census data, I'd already seen all that during the original AfD of Sweetest Day and I'm at a loss to see what you think that proves.  It shows that he exists, that he resided in Cleveland, that he worked in advertising, and at some point he apparently owned a confectionery shop.  How is that at odds with the popular mythology of "Herbert Birch Kingston, a philanthropist and candy company employee..."  Candy companies employ advertisers.  Anyone can be a philanthropist.  The census data ''proves nothing either way''... other than his exsitence, residence, and employment.  As for sourcing, the current article is sourced by primary and secondary sources.  I'm tired of explaining this... so I'll leave it at that.  If you have problems with sourcing of information on other websites, I suggest you contact them.  The original Sweetest Day page has stopped because it is finally to a point where it contains only information that is |verified.  You may think it pathetic, but IMO this is probably the best version of this page that has ever existed at this namespace... though it would be improved by Leigh Eric Schmidt's version of Sweetest Day from his book
