[edit] Rocky Day

Unferifiable as per WP:V; I googled as best I could and I can't come up with anything referencing a day of commemoration for a prizefight that never happened. Delete.  RasputinAXP  _{talk contribs} 00:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I am also unable to verify that the day is commemorated via various searches. Should be deleted unless sources can be provided. --GraemeL ^(talk) 00:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Same as above - also the user who has provided the information refuses to provide any sources of his own. -localzuk 00:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as hoax. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable unless good verifiable sources are provided prior to expiration of AfD discussion. As it says at the bottom of every editing box, "Content... must be verifiable," and the policy is clear: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who has made the edit. Editors should therefore provide references. Any edit lacking a source may be removed." In this case, that would be the entire article. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC) P. S. Rocky Marciano was a native of Brockton, MA. I just did an online search of four Massachusetts newspapers—the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Springfield Union-News, and Worcester Telegram—for articles containing both "Rocky Marciano" and "Valdes," covering the last decade or so. There were three hits, all articles about boxing; none of them mentions any "Rocky Day." Dpbsmith (talk) 00:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as above. If unverifiable, it has to go. Batmanand 01:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

**Not Delete' Hmmm, some people waste their time to put important things here, but others say delete it, Rocky day is not a hoax and if you read it its a day of good intentions. Talk about War in Iraq, majority of people believed it was good in usa, now they do not. Now, if something is not popuplar or not known today, that does not mean it will not be tomorrow, simple as it sounds, so if you idiots want to delete it, fine, but when the day becomes popular I will make sure Wikipedia has no right to have these articles, because you people run the way you like it and think the way you like it and in your small minds you think you are rights based on the lousy standards you created.

It would also be good to grow up and realize that google does not carry everything in the world, then again, we may agree with you, you do have a little point, but in that case, instaed of deleting you can always put an asterix to the side that claims that neutrality of this article could be disputed... BUt of course, people with little minds can not think of that...

• Closing comment: This article has been deleted 9 times now. If it pops up next time it should be protected against recreation. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 18:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
