World Maths Day (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Authorship by user:World Maths Day suggest an advert. Certainly no evidence of notability. -- RHaworth 10:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete: A quick search turns up only one press release distributed over and over again. No hits on Google News, which you would certainly expect for an event that is less than two weeks away, at least if it were notable and not PR cruft.A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 10:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep This is fairly well known in educational circles, and if you Google world+"maths day" you avoid all the press release spam - I see mentions from the Times Educational Supplement (main UK educational publication) and the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in Teaching of Maths). At the very least, Merge the useful info into Pi Day. EliminatorJR Talk 14:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Keep Worthy to be kept, but does need expansion as I am sure there could be more to say about this day --PrincessBrat 15:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Its a project by two major education publishers. I just added that info and the links. Could Eliminator please add the refs he found. DGG 02:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Also try searching for "world math day" for more hits. Agreed, the same press release comes up over and over again. That is, lots of web sites consider it an event worth publicizing. Fg2 07:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: Or a lot of websites are mirrors to PR Newswire.A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 12:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • This article doesn't show any notability. Even the times educational article doesn't seem to cut it for notability. Besides that, the WP:COI alone should be enough for deletion, imo. --Адам12901 Talk 16:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
