[edit] Dave Day

Non-verifiable silliness, it seems to me. –Hajor 00:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete # These are the Daves I know, I know, these are the Daves I know... # Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:34, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete All google hits come care of Wikipedia mirrors... Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 00:35, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This is a joke.--AI 01:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Let's at least keep it until June 15 so I can finish celebrating... then delete DS1953 01:21, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: It's no longer the Year of Al Franken or the day of Dave. Geogre 02:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The only hits on the first 20 in google for "Dave Day" June 14 came from this article. Poli 07:00, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless verified. Mgm|^(talk) 09:14, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nonsense. "Dave's not here man" JamesBurns 10:24, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless verified? What are the chances of this being verified? 6,620 Google hits, but most are about Mr. Day or Dave's day. Sonic Mew 12:16, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless verified as a notable holiday. Matjlav 14:36, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unverified and probably made up. --Etacar11 14:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The original article written in May stated June 14, so it's strange that it should get nominated today. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs, Me 14:52, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. People make up holidays all the time. Wikipedia has an entry for the "parodic" International Talk Like A Pirate Day, so why not just make a note in the entry that this is completely made up? It's also been mentioned on other web sites, including this one: http://www.blacktable.com/incoming050613.htm.

International Talk Like A Pirate Day makes an effort. This is just a sentence, followed by a list of people called Dave. Sonic Mew 16:28, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Awesome. I can't get my garage band into Wikipedia, so I'll just create My Garage Band's Day on June 22! (Delete unless it can be verified, which it probably can't) -- Plutor 16:32, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as patent nonsense. Aecis 17:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I was around to celebrate Dave Day, this may not be a holiday others celebrate as often Foxcek 20:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nonsense and apparently unverifiable.--Kross 20:15, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Cherish I've been celebrating International Dave's Day for years. It is as verifiable as the events surrounding engineering graduates' Iron Ring Ceremony. Dave6687 21:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) (Comment by 70.25.67.248 (talk · contribs), user's first and thusfar only contribution.)
• Delete - I've heard of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and despite all the Daves I know, I've never heard of Dave Day. Amusing, nice try, but delete it anyway. StopTheFiling 22:41, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. None of the "organization" of the International Talk Like A Pirate Day, not to mention the exclusiveness of a dave-only holiday ;) -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 00:44, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
