[edit] Unofficial Saint Patrick's Day
Article has been proded several times and de-proded by anons. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. If it is real it is not adequately sourced, and is not notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Dual Freq 14:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- Strong delete WP:NFT pretty much covers it. This is a single non-notable day for binge drinking at a single college campus. In addition, the school's newspaper does not count as a "reliable source", and otherwise, there is no referencing. -- Kicking222 14:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- How is the university newspaper unreliable here? The journalist appears to have done a fair amount of legwork, checked xyr facts, and got the article past an editor to have it published. Those are the very things that reliability deals in. Uncle G 15:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Daily Illini seems to have had some problems with its editorial review process in the past, at least according to its wikipedia article. Just the same, this unofficial university student holiday or whatever its called is not exactly notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. --Dual Freq 15:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
