message: ==National Holiday India==
As discussed on the WT:DAYS page, national holidays are allowable as hat notes. Wallie (talk) 11:00, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, national holidays or events where the the dates are alternate names require hat notes. Elevating specific holidays as more important than others--the same peculiar obsession you had regarding historic events--is a complete non-starter.  For example, there is NO holiday CALLED '26th of January': It's Australia Day, and it's already in the appropriate section. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 12:05, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is exactly the same as the following: "For the Canadian holiday on July 1st, see Canada Day". Wallie (talk) 12:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And in Canada they DO refer to "the First of July", as the simplest Google search would show. Any time you'd like to discuss the actual rationale behind your actual edits--as well as provide actual evidence--rather than  drag in other pages, do go right ahead. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just gave my rationale. To cite WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS in this case when we are discussing India's national day, shows your true intentions. Anyway they do refer to the 15th of August. Wallie (talk) 15:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

message: In accordance with the guidelines, I'm continuing to weed the Births and Deaths sections by removing entries for celebrities with 0-4 articles in other languages.  Where possible, these have been transferred to the relevant Year in Topic articles. As well as making the lists more manageable, this will help with the globalization effort.
