Not a notable holiday. Google returns 37 hits. JudahBlaze 19:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - sounds like a neologism to me, and probably something made-up, so delete per WP:NEO Jayden54 19:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep -- it is made-up, as are all holidays. I'd like to see a second source for the article, though. OscarTheCat3 20:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
    • We already have a few of these articles. It would be a slippery slope to let every 'made-up' holiday have it's own article. --JudahBlaze 20:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Where is the first source? The game company's home page doesn't count. -- Kicking222 20:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Of the 37 google hits, 16 were unique, no reliable sources. Not notable fictional holiday. Secateur 20:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete Completely and utterly non-notable. 16 unique and 37 total Google hits (unsurprisingly). No referencing. -- Kicking222 20:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Sorry guys NegroSuave 21:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree with JudahBlaze. Giving every made-up holiday an entry would result in far too many crap articles. A page listing them maybe, but I'd say delete it unless it can get some excellent cleanup work.ManiacClown 21:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete dumb. Danny Lilithborne 21:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge or Rename The term that I've seen and heard is "christmakwanzakuh." 149 hits on Google (78 are unique). Additionally "christmakkuh" has 6,130 Google hits (driven primarily from the usage on the television program "The OC"). "Made-up" or not if it has reached popular usage then it belongs in an encyclopedia. An article that encompasses all of these variations would be appropriate.

    Actually, you are incorrect. WP:NEO is our guideline for neologisms, and it says that we need reliable secondary sources about the term before we create articles on the term. GRBerry 03:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
    Comment I made several statements so I have no idea which of them you claim to be incorrect. Please state clearly what is incorrect so that I can either understand your point or explain how you are incorrect. CuriousGiselle 20:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Not a particularly popular holiday, but notable for it being referenced in many 9th Level Games. Needs sources/references? 87.254.69.18 20:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Google fails to return many hits, and besides, we already have Chrismahanukwanzakah, which is similar, but much more well-known. Kalani [talk] 18:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Neologism that fails to meet the standards at WP:NEO. GRBerry 03:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as not notable. WODUP (talk • contribs • count • logs • email) 01:18, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as I've heard this phrase before. I believe it was part of a Virgin Mobile advertising campaign. A whole internet thing was spawned from this, or did, as it seems it's no longer there. Eridani 1648, 25 December 2006 (EST)
  • Delete fails WP:NEO and nn. Davidpdx 11:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
