Talk:September 28

message: Elia Kazan is listed as Hungarian.  Elsewhere he is listed as having Greek parents and being born in Istanbul.  Obviously an error here.

message: I added Ask a Stupid Question Day, which is apparently a real holiday with its own Wikipedia page,  to "Holidays and observances", but it was removed because it was "not notable".  Now, I understand why "Events" have to be notable, but there isn't any notability standard on "Births"  -- anyone with a Wikipedia article and a birth date can get in.  It seems to me that "Holidays and observances" should use the same test as "Births" -- if the holiday is notable enough to get its own Wikipedia article (and note that no one has even challenged the Ask a Stupid Question Day article), it should be allowed onto the date page...

replies: text: WP:DAYS and WP:DOY discuss observances.  It is in the spirit of the project that observances should be limited to those that are widely and regularly celebrated.  Any fabricated holiday that is mentioned in a couple of sources could feasibly get an article, but most of those would not be widely observed and recognizable by most readers.  Much like births and deaths, being the subject of an article is a minimum requirement.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can tell from looking at the date articles, in Births & Deaths being the subject of an article isn't just a minimum requirement, it's the only requirement.  But I did read WP:DAYS, and Holidays are held to a slightly higher standard, so I see your point.  But please stop referring to "fabricated holidays" -- all holidays are fabricated (made up) by someone.  The difference between successful holidays and unsuccessful ones is how many other people have agreed with the holiday's fabricator that the holiday is worthy of celebration.

replies: text: However notable ASQD might be to the American school community, it's not global by any stretch of the imagination. Also, the article's sources are not of a 'reliable' enough nature. So how has the entry stood here for so long? Bjenks (talk) 02:12, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
