Regarding the merger idea

Please post any future comments regarding the merger idea over at Talk:Japanese calendar instead of here since there's already a discussion that started over there. —Tokek 06:30, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

These are both part of series and I am removing the notices, which have been ignored. CalJW 16:52, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Removal of Non-national Holidays

It has been suggested that non-national holidays are irrelevant to the Topic. However, the topic is not "National Holidays in Japan" it is "Holidays in Japan." Just because a holiday is not a national holiday does not render it not worth mentioning, nor are these holidays any less celebrated. I would think that more information is better then less, so long as it is relevant to the topic of holidays in Japan.

If the community wishes to change this topic to "National Holidays" and have another section for non-national holidays, then that is a possibility, but that would tend to be unnecessarily redundant, especially as a merger has been discussed. Kirkpatrick 12:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm in favor of covering both national holidays and non-national holidays in one article. An article on holidays of Japan should be comprehensive. I would even go into the history of some of the holidays. As long as the article makes clear what the current national holidays are, I see no reason not to include all information under this general heading. -Jefu 13:09, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
